There is no such thing as Tommy Jones surgery...I think you mean Tommy John surgery. Tommy John surgery is a reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament. During this surgery, a ligament in the elbow is replaced using a ligament removed from elsewhere in the body. The surgery got its name after the procedure was performed on a Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher back in the 70s.

I think you mean Tommy John surgery. It's done to repair a torn ligament in the elbow. It's common in baseball pitchers and got it's name from the first pitcher to have it done.

Unless your mouth, lips, and teeth are flat with the rest of your face, EVERYONE has those lines, especially when we smile. It's the place the face has to bend because the bone of the upper jaw meets up with cheek muscle -- when we smile, the muscle changes shape and the skin bends to fit. People's faces are unique because the shapes are all just a little different. Yours is very normal! :) The only way to lessen the fact that human faces are built the way they are is to stop smiling.... and at that point, would it be worth it? :)
