Hello, I am 32 years old and have started to notice these accordion lines when I smile, I primarily notice them on the left side of my face. How can I eliminate and eradicate them? Aquagold? Filler? Laser? I have enclosed a photo at rest and smiling. Thank you!

Answer: Smile Lines That is a great question! It seems as though you have dynamic wrinkles which are more pronounced on the left side of your mouth/smile. These types of wrinkles are caused by muscle activity around the modiolus (or anchor point of several muscles on either side of the mouth). I think you may be well suited for a neurotoxin (botox) injection to your muscles on this side of your mouth. Fillers are always an option to help soften up wrinkles around the mouth, but they are generally moreso indicated for static lines (or lines present at rest) or volume related issues. Hope this helps and good luck!
