Laughter may be good for the soul, but it’s not always so beneficial for our faces. As you age, collagen and elastin in the nasolabial folds begins to break down, eventually leaving lines around the nose and mouth that mimic the creases made when smiling. Laugh lines are also evident at the corners of your eyes. At first you may only see these tell-tale eye creases when smiling and laughing, but over time they will be present regardless of your facial expression. While everyone loves a bright smile and a happy expression, it can be distressing to develop lines that don’t reflect how youthful you feel on the inside.
If your laugh lines have you down, keep smiling! There are several ways to improve the look of existing lines and prevent new lines from cropping up—or at least slow down their development—without a face lift.

Q: My husband is so unhappy with the appearance of his jawline because he feels like his chin goes straight into his neck. He doesn’t even like to be in family photos anymore. Are there any options for someone who is unhappy with the shape of his/her chin and jaw line?

For as many celebrities who are famous for beautifully-full, “bee-stung” lips, there seem to be just as many with “trout pout”—casualties of lip augmentation gone wrong. Actresses like Angelina Jolie, Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson have helped to popularize the beauty trend that’s showing no signs of fading. Full lips are often seen as an indication of youth as they are associated with a higher volume of collagen, which tends to lessen as we age. But unfortunately, bad lip procedures seem to be going strong as well. Below are some “dos” and “don’ts” to help you get the most beautiful smile possible
