Is it possible to improve these hollow areas next to my nose when I smile? (photos)

December 27, 2023
Asked By:Practical5958 in San Diego, California

When I smile, I'm very curious about the hollowed-out areas on both sides of my nose. I cannot find any name or description for this or how it may be treated. I have had undereye filler above that area, and in the past year, I have had most of it dissolved. This did not improve the area at all. Looking back at older photos, I see this area was flat and has been there for years in the making. Female 38 5'3" lean and muscular build 113 pounds

Tim Neavin, MD says:

Thank you for the photos. Fat transfer improves the architecture of the face by widening gaunt faces. You have what is called a negative vector facial morphology, where the lower eyelid socket sits farther back. Being thin also does cause cheek deflation. I do not think your issue is skin...

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the picture you provided, fat grafting to the cheeks, mid-face and under eye hollows could benefit you in regard to adding some fullness to the face if that is your goal. Injectables, such as dermal fillers, could provide you with a good idea of...
