Indeed, Reese has smile lines at the side of her mouth, which are referred to as accordion lines.

"Due to her facial structure, Reese is prone to a few lines and wrinkles in the accordion lines, but her upper face is wider-eyed than when she was younger, and she has a lovely smooth upper face," Dr. Sophie comments.
