Is this a cheek Issue? (Photos)

Asked By:mallenuk in Los Angeles, California

Hello, I have deep nasolabial folds and I suspect that this maybe connected to a lack of support in the cheek region. I would be very grateful if someone can identify what is occurring. When I smile my upper lip seems to work against the cheek to create the crease line. I have cheek implants, which enhance my cheek bones but do not support or lift the cheek near the nose. Am I missing volume from the cheek that would lift the cheek skin off my nasiolabial fold?
