How to get rid of this vertical line on one side of nose?

Asked By:lalapama in Los Angeles, CA

It’s this vertical line or bulge on the side of my nose. Mostly noticeable when I’m smiling. It’s always been there a little, but seems to be deepening with age, and gets more noticeable when I’m tired. The closest I can find online is “bunny lines” - but it doesn’t seem to be the same thing since it’s a vertical line, and only on one side. I’ve been using an electrocurrent “erase” setting to relax the muscle, but not really noticing results. What *is* this and how can I lessen it?
