Hello! I am not interested in fillers or botox. I have smile lines that seem to be genetic. I did lose 50 pounds about 10 years ago, but these did not show up until just this year. I am only 30 years old. All of my siblings even those younger than me have these too, so many they are genetic. Is this something i can fix by transferring fat to the area? price range? Or is a facelift needed. thank you
