What are these shadowy lines near my nose and what can I do to minimize their appearance? (photos)

I hate these shadowy lines. No they are not smile lines, this may be because of face fat? I have a round face, chubby cheeks and as of right now I am 122 lbs and I’m like 5’1. I have a wide bulbous nose so that could also contribute it, but is there anything I could do about these lines?

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
