Aesthetic treatments can help fix unbalanced profiles by enhancing facial symmetry and contour. For example, dermal fillers can be used to add volume to areas like the cheeks, chin, or jawline, creating a more harmonious balance between features. Botox can smooth out wrinkles or adjust muscle activity in the upper face, improving proportions. Non-surgical nose reshaping with fillers can correct an uneven nose.

Nose-to-mouth lines, also known as nasolabial folds, are the deep lines that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These lines naturally deepen with age as the skin loses collagen, elastin, and facial fat. The decline in skin elasticity, combined with gravity, causes the skin to sag, making the folds more prominent. Repeated facial expressions, like smiling or laughing, also contribute to the formation of these lines.

Cheek hollowing is often caused by a combination of aging, genetics, and lifestyle factors. As we age, the loss of collagen, elastin, and fat in the facial tissue leads to reduced volume and sagging, creating hollow or sunken cheeks. Genetics also play a significant role in determining facial structure and the natural distribution of fat. Significant weight loss or malnutrition can result in reduced facial fat, contributing to hollow cheeks.

Lines and wrinkles are primarily caused by the natural aging process, as skin loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which are essential for maintaining firmness and elasticity. Sun exposure accelerates this breakdown, leading to photoaging and the development of fine lines, particularly around the eyes and mouth. Repeated facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning, cause dynamic wrinkles that deepen over time. Smoking, poor diet, and dehydration also contribute by reducing skin’s ability to regenerate and maintain moisture.
