I've started to see drooping lip corners for the past few years (3 yrs). Any suggestions? (photos)

Question

I am 32 yrs old Asian, lean and regularly do work outs.Is this really a Sagging jowl or drooping lip corners condition? if yes, what would be the best option to fix this? I am dark skinned and do have the issue of forming keloids at the incisions of surgery. Will face massage work? Please suggest to get a firm lower face.(Photo attached)

Fillers and lasers can help improve drooping of the lips corners. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, Perlane work great for cheek volumization which helps improve nasolabial and marionette lines as well indirectly. Please see an expert dermatologist who treats a lot of younger patients. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your pictures! You have slight volume loss along the corner of the lips.  This can easily be addressed with a hyaluronic acid based filler such as restylane silk, restylane or juvederm ultra.  Either one of these works great to give that area a soft, natural lift while keeping a natural feel within the tissue.  Best of luck!

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  I see your area of concern but do not think that this is a sagging jowl or drooping lip issue.  It appears that you have some sagging of your cheek taking place as well as a bit of volume loss from around the corners of your mouth.  I would recommend using one of the hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers, such as juvederm ultra plus, to augment your lip and consider a small amount of filler into your cheeks.  Hope this helps.

I have many patients who are bothered by the corners of the mouth which are drooping down.  The best treatment is to inject into this area and "lift" the corners up with fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm.  You can also put a small amount of Botox into the DAO's in that area to improve the appearance.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green

This area is commonly filler with a filler to give support and lift the corners of the mouth so you do not have a down turned smile. This are is called the oral commissure. This area is very commonly treated.
