How to get rid of folds on face when smiling? (Photo)

January 30, 2023
Asked By:marblepear in Los Angeles, California

I usually avoid smiling because I don’t like how exaggerated these folds look in photos. Is there a way to get rid of them? I notice when I pull my skin back near my ears/jaw, then it is smooth when I smile. But I don’t need a facelift. It seems like a facelift would help and taut that skin. Are there other solutions?
