When I smile I have dimples and my smile lines are asymmetric. What do you suggest to do? (photo)

Question

Philip S. Schoenfeld, MD, FACS · Answer

Smile lines at your age are not only common but natural.  Asymmetry in your smile lines is expected.  If you try to create symmetry in the smile lines when you are smiling, then your face will likely appear asymmetric or over filled when you are not smiling, which is a great deal of time for most of us!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

By injecting a small amount of Botox, Dysport or Xeomin into this area, the muscles will relax, causing the hard, deeps lines to smooth and improving the lines and wrinkles. Neuromodulators take 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to six months. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

You have asymmetric dimples and this is normal. You should do nothing since anything you do will come with risks. The gain is not worth the risk for doing anything.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Laugh lines can be treated using hylauronic acid based fillers like Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne. However, I would not treat your dimples themselves.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

In nature symmetry simply does not exist. You don't have to do anything. Good luck from New York City
