I know that I am a generally attractive girl, which is why I hate this so much. I have shadows around my mouth like jowls, and when I smile I get lines around my mouth too. I dislike pictures of me because of this and I usually Photoshop these lines and shadows out. I know it may seem small but it makes a big difference to me. I'm considering buccal fat removal and a chin implant, maybe fillers if they would help. What are your opinions on procedures that would be best? Thanks.
