Botox: Q&A
Ask a Question
What Can I Do to Get Rid of the Angry Look That People Have Told Me I Have All my Life? I Am 47 and Am Really Tired of It.
Ever since I can remember, back as far as grade school, people are always saying to me, "What's wrong" and when I ask why, they say, "Oh, you look so mad". I am not mad at all but because my mouth "crinkles up" as my mom used to say or my lips tighten together as others have told me, everyone thinks I am angry. What can I do to get rid of this without it costing a fortune. I have tried wrinkle cream and frankly, that didn't work nor do I have the patience at this point for it. PLEASE HELP.

Treatment of the angry look
In order to make recommendations that would be appropriate, a patient needs to be seen in-person for their anatomy of facial expressions to be evaluated and determine which is the best course of treatment, with Botulinum toxin and /or fillers.
Sometimes it's the way the skin between the eyebrows crinkles into vertical folds, or the lips turn down at the corners. For some patients, Botox used off-label in the DAO muscle can lift the corner of the lip, or fillers can do the same.

Reducing an Angry Look with Botox and Fillers
Creams will only penetrate the top layer of skin, whereas botox will prevent muscle contraction and smooth out the lines and wrinkles giving you that “angry look.” Filler injections will also help to smooth out wrinkles around your mouth. Most patients find that botox injections last from 4-5 months, filler injections 5-6 months. This time frame depends on the amount injected, the severity of lines, and the frequency of movement in the face. Consult with a...

Botox and mouth lines
Without seeing your photo, it's hard to answer this question - however based on what you are describing, it sounds like Botox and a dermal filler (Juvederm or Restylane) will help you relax the muscle around your mouth and settle down or smooth out some fine lines.

Neuromodulators and fillers can help soften the "angry look"
People communicate by making facial expressions with facial muscles. In general, the angry look results from contraction of the muscles around the eyes and around the mouth. Small amounts of neuromodulators (i.e. Botox) can help soften these lines and relax these muscles. Filler material can soften etched lines and provide the foundation for an upturned mouth, both of which create an aesthetically pleasing look. I would seek treatment from an experienced physician to tailor the treatment to...

This is a very common request. Without photos it is impossible to give you specific advice.

How to get rid of angry face
Photos would be helpful here. You may benefit from Botox and facial fillers. Unfortunately, wrinkle creams will not relax the musculature of the face nor will they will in deep, severe-appearing crease lines. See a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist in consultation.

Excellent treatment fothe angry look with injections
Dear Gina 5963,
What you're describing is a very common reason why many patients come in for treatment. The best treatments are injectibles to make the lips and smile look sweeter, softer and more relaxed. The eyes can similarly be made more relaxed, less stressed and angry with botox and other injectibles. Even though these are temporary treatments, they are more precise at getting the right results without causing any permanent problems. Once you have...

What Can I Do to Get Rid of the Angry Look That People Have Told Me I Have All my Life? I Am 47 and Am Really Tired of It.
A photo would help in the evaluation but the medial portion, of the eyebrows, directly above the corners of the eyes are responsible for conveying emotion. If one or both eyebrows are low, this gives an agry appearance to the face. Botox or a Brow Lift would be required depending on the degree of elevation required. Hope this helps.
