Avoiding "monkey face" with fillers? Where should I be injected? (photo)

Asked By:DanielleDean in Los Angeles, California

Wondering wheres the best spot to inject to smooth out nasolabial lines and marionette lines? I've heard some inject the cheek area and NOT directly in the lines to avoid a "monkey" look? I want to smooth out my face without looking puffy or bigger. I dont have much fat in my cheeks which probably makes it lool worse. How do you avoid hitting any arteries ? There are so many next to your nose and cheek so that scares me a little too! Which type of filler is best used and can it also be used under eyes?
