Hi! When I smile, deep creases form on the sides of my mouth and nose. It also makes my cheeks puff out. My face has literally been the same size since I was 12. Even when I had anorexia it was this size. Now I'm 5'1, fit, healthy, and my face is STILL the same. I'm sure on getting buccle fat removal and jaw reduction botox, but I wanted to see if there was anything else I could do as well to make my face less fat and round looking. Thank you!
