I just turned 35 and am starting to notice the lines under my mouth, on the corners and want to know if fillers are a good option and if so, how much should I let my injector use? I think I've always had the lines- when I smile they look like corner mouth dimples. The lines are faint but create a shadow that I dislike. Please let me know your thoughts on treating the area. Thank you!

One of the hyaluronic acid fillers should help nicely. I have used them on similar cases. Regarding the acne scarring, collagen induction treatment with Platelet rich plasma is an eciting option, worth checking out. It is usually performed in a series and downtime generally only a few days.
