What is the best way to go about fixing this? (Photo)

Question

Hi so I’m 22 and have had this insecurity my whole life but the older I get the more pronounced it gets. On the sides of my face it’s almost like I’m completely missing fat or something and I feel like I can’t smile in pictures because of it. I genuinely like my face until I smile and it is extremely disheartening. Am I able to get filler to fix this problem ? I have also considered jelly roll Botox for my under eyes because they also bulge really horribly when I smile

If you notice, your upper lip is well projected on your side profile whereas when you smile it appears thinned out. Although there is no obvious gingival show, there is a degree of hyperactivity of the muscle pulling the upper lip. Gummy smile botox will relax this muscle and subsequently your upper lip wouldn't appear overtly thin while smiling due to the changed dynamics. Yes jelly roll BTX should work and you can also add on a PDRN based skin booster for the under eye region which will help with dark circles.
Wishing you the best,Dr. Daphney Gracia Antony
