Are my marionette lines a result of volume loss in cheeks? (Photo)

May 23, 2014
Asked By:bobinhood in Iowa City, IA

I'm only 18, but the corners of my mouth really turn down and it's getting worse as I've gotten older. I also have slight nasolabial folds. Would this be fixed by adding volume to my cheeks, and are my cheeks flat? Or is it from something else? Thanks!
