Great question! When smiling, your orbicularis muscle contracts and will create creases no matter your age. However, when you have a slight excess of skin, this can cause some bunching which can be bothersome for patients. A couple of options to consider: botox can soften how strongly this muscle contracts and slightly decrease the amount of bunching; laser resurfacing can sometimes tighten the skin a bit and improve the bunching slightly; a lower blepharoplasty with a skin pinch (excision of skin) will also likely help. It is important to note that while these will all likely help to some extent, they are unlikely to completely resolve. I hope this helps and best of luck!Kyle Kimura, MD
