Smiles Lines are deep creases or folds that run from the corners of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. Smiles Lines can vary in severity from lines to folds to crevasses, the latter being a very deep fold. Smiles Lines around the corners of the mouth are often references as parentheses. Smiles Lines are usually a single crease, but can also be comprised of more than one line and are often an early sign of aging in many individuals.

As a part of the aging process, many individuals begin to develop an exaggerated frown, as the corners of the mouth turn down and lines extending from the corners of the downturned lips develop. Many individuals also have lines that fan out from the corners of the mouth, as well. There are various techniques that will gently lift the corners of the mouth and return the mouth area to a more natural and friendly look.
