How do I get rid of these smile lines that I didn't have when I was younger? Do I need a facelift? (Photos)

Hi there! Smile lines are very tricky. They're the result of powerful smiling muscles which isn't a bad thing. To soften them, fillers and fat transfer can work, but they don't tend to stay in the spot due to the powerful forces of the muscles underneath. I would advise against Botox in the area as it can change your smile quite a bit. Morpheus8 microneedling is an option to increase the collagen strength and tone of the skin. Topical creams as well condition the skin. It can be a frustrating area to improve and you're not alone with your concerns. Hope this helps!

You absolutely do not need a facelift. You have a beautiful smile and should smile more, not less. And don’t jet anybody do surgery on your face at this young age
