I'm a 26 year old female with shadows around my mouth that I hate. I've had two kids, so weight fluctuations may have caused them. I take very good care of my skin. I use sunscreen multiple times a day, Tretinoin, Vitamin C, moisturize and cleanse every day.

I'm open to surgical options or non surgical.
