Is there a permanent solution for downturned mouth?

Question

I look sad or angry when I'm not, is there a solution for downward frown? A surgery maybe? Something permanent, would jaw reduction be a good solution.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your down turned mouth can be improved with a lip lift.  A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Best Wishes,

Thank you for your question and photo! A downturned mouth can be corrected with a neuromodulator that will relax the muscles that are dragging it downwards. Botox, Xeomin or Dysport could help in improving your expression, if administered by an expert. Consult a reputed surgeon to discuss your treatment plan.
