Sagging Skin around the Mouth

David Shafer, MD answers: What can be done about sagging around mouth corners?

I have a small face with high cheekbones, I don’t have wrinkles but have noticed my face is sagging a little and to me it’s noticeable around the corners of my mouth. What can I do?

 Without pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice.  If your cheekbones are nice and you are mostly concerned about the area around your lower face and mouth, then a lower facelift may be the answer.  Good luck.

A: Help for sagging of the corners of the mouth.

Hi!  There are two non invasive treatments to lift the corners of the mouth, and there is also an operation.

1)  Botox can be injected below the corners (tiny amounts!), to relax the muscle that pulls the corners down.

2)  Fillers such as Restylane can be injected under the corners to create "buttresses" which support and lift the corners.

3)  More definitively, a mid facelift done through the mouth will lift the corners of your mouth for a long time.
