Drooping Commissures and Corners of the Mouth After A Facelift
A facelift does not correct drooping corners of the mouth. This is a multi-modal avenue of “Lifting, Filling, and Resurfacing”. All of these are done in conjunction with a facelift.

After 2 Weeks of a Face Lift and Corners of Mouth Are Drooping Downward, Can It Be Fixed or is This Permanent?
Great question. The downward cant of the oral commissure is one of the most difficult things to address in facial aging. It tends to be resilient to most facelift procedures alone. Im a strong believer in using fat transfers or a filler, ie Juviderm, to improve this issue. Fat transfers will likely require more than one treatment. Most patients should not think a facelift alone will improve this drooping of the corners of the mouth.

Mouth drooping after a Face Lift
Depending on the skill of the Plastic Surgeon the marionette lines that you are speaking about should be considerably softened after a Face Lift. Although, it is sometimes difficult to remove these completely. In our practice we may suggest laser resurfacing to further soften these lines. You can also try Sculptra for added volume and to stimulate collagen growth. You can use this product in the marionette lines and also the cheek bone area to add more fullness...

Mouth droop after face lift
Were they drooping before the face lift? Or is this something new?
Here's the deal:
1. the marginal mandibular nerve can malfunction after a face lift. This will usually affect only one corner of the mouth. It takes time to improve.
2. Swelling from a face lift can temporarily deepen lines around the mouth. As swelling goes down, lines improve.
3. Face lift surgery does not lift the mouth. The drooping can be improved in two ways. Botox softens the muscles at the corner of...

Marionette line after facelift
The goal of a full facelift is good support of the cheek and jowl and correction of the line from from the corner of the mouth to the chin, the marionette line. If your skin was very heavy or the fold well set before your lift, they may not be completely corrected by the lift alone. After you heal the addition of a filler or even your own fat as a structural graft can soften the folds further.

Corners of mouth drooping after face lift.
certainly, it is premature to judge the effects f your facelift after just 2 weeks. Also, it is difficult to determine if this is an incompletely fixed Marionette line or something different without seeing before and after photos. What does your doctor say?
+1
Marionette lines
Marionette lines - drooping corners of the mouth - are seldom completely corrected by facelift.
Some improvement does take place and this is often enhanced by the normal postoperative swelling. However, as you have discovered, the swelling has largely receded by two weeks.
A more durable improvement may be expected by the injection of fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm of even your own fat. Even here, though, the effect may not be permanent and may have to be repeated...
