Best Procedure for Me? (photo)
I am looking for the best procedure to raise the corners of my mouth and get rid of the folds. I have already had Botox in DAO (4 units each side). There was improvement, but not enough. Thank you.

The best treatment for the corners of your mouth is a dermal filler
The DAO treatment with Botox was a fine idea. However your primary problem is loss of volume around your mouth. I would suggest treatment with Juvederm or Restylane. If performed by an experienced cosmetic physician, either should give you a very natural result and a nice improvement.

Botox and filler
It looks to me as though the Botox is working very well. The corners of your mouth are not turning down. What you need now is volume replacement in the creases below the corners of the mouth and along the jaw beside the chin to stop the "jowlly" appearance. The hyaluronic acids such as Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane all work well here as does Radiesse which I think would even be better.

A robust filler for the corners of the mouth
I agree that you need more than just botox oftentimes to address the marionette lines, and corners of the mouth. Adding volume with a robust filler such as Perlane or Radiesse should give the area support to help maintain the strengthen the upturned looks.

Perlane and corners of the mouth
You would benefit from any dermal filler in this area - assessment with a well-trained and experienced provider will help you determine which one and the amount you'd need to improve the area.

Treatment for Marionette Lines, Mouth Frown
Hi sfodor. Thanks for the pictures, this helps a lot. Botox (or Dysport) are a great option for creating a lift at the corners of the mouth. Glad to hear this helped. The next step is to replace lost volume.
We are not sure if your injector suggested this, but 1 cc of Restylane or Juvederm would go a long way to correcting the crease below the corners of the mouth. We would normally estimate the product to last about 6 months. Good luck.
