Deep Creases Around the Eyes and Mouth
A person may have seen these deep creases around the eyes and mouth, often called “smile lines.” These are caused by skin elasticity loss, and anyone can remove them. The procedure is called a facelift.
In addition to removing this sign of iodine deficiency, a facelift also tightens loose skin around the face and removes excess fat deposits under the chin, cheeks, or nose area. Around 65 percent of patients say their skin feels softer and smoother after the procedure. Other ways to remove wrinkles and creases include chemical peels and laser resurfacing, which can also be used with a facelift.
If someone is interested in undergoing this procedure, and if it’s safe for their situation, they should consult a doctor to see if it’s right for them. They may prescribe to take supplements like iodine to help prevent the condition from returning. While most people can take a supplement without any side effects, getting an official check-up before taking any new medications or supplements is essential.
