What to do about nasolabial hollows on the sides of nose? (photos)

Asked By:n6A2y07a3 in Silver Spring, MD

Hi I'm 26 and ever since my late teens I had these weird almost circular hollows directly under my nose and at the sides of my philtrum. In certain lights that area looks caved in and makes my philtrum protrude oddly. I finally want to correct this issue but I don't know what is the best treatment. Is there a long lasting injectable that can take care of it? Or will I need a more permanent solution?
