I am looking for help regarding what seems to be facial drooping or sagging mostly noticeable on the lower face. It almost looks like jowls on either side of the chin which is odd because I am only in my early-mid 20's. My nasolabial folds also seem to be very prominent. When smiling, on either side of my chin I get a "chipmunk cheek effect as well as weird divots and dimples on the side of my mouth. What could be causing this? What are my non/minimally invasive options to correct it? Thank you!
