These are those lines or deep furrows that run downward from the corners of the mouth and make us look dour, old and grumpy

Softening or removing them requires:

1. Tissue filling injections to plump out the thinning tissue
2. Possible Botox treatment of the muscles that subconsciously pull down the corners of the mouth.
3. Possible local liposuction of the adjacent jowel and even combined with
face-lifting.   Face-lifting alone is not usually adequate and is often best 
combined with Botox and filler injections.

Melomental folds vary in severity, from simple early loss of volume beneath the corners of the mouth, to really deep furrows right down to the jaw line.  It is best to start early on in this process as timeous treatment will prevent progression to more severe degrees.
