Dimples around mouth - how can I remove them? (photo)

Question

I've had these very prominent dimples(?) by the corners of my mouth for my whole life, they only appear when I'm smiling. Is it possible to get them removed? They aren't in the typical spot for dimples but I would do just about anything to get them removed. thanks!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there thank you for the consultation. I would do combination of botox to relax the muscle the produces smiles dimples and then inject dermal filler with a low g' filler to reduce that line that gets worse with smiling.

Hi there,

Unfortunately that is from the muscle movement when you smile.  You can soften them a bit with a filler.  Make sure you see a very experienced physician/injector for a consultation.

Best of luck!
