Horizontal lines across mid-cheeks. Does anyone have any advice? (Photo)

NKnewnose
I have developed these horizontal lines across my mid-cheeks, I have had looked at by a plastic surgeon who said they are caused by tethering of facial ligaments/genetics, & will progressively get worse & I'll struggle with them my whole life. Tried restalyn in the area a few times, really no improvement. I am becoming very depressed, obsess multiple times a day over them, try not to smile bc they look worse when I do. I am 27, I don't want to live self consumed by this. Does anyone have advice?
