What can help with the drooping corners of my mouth? (Photo)

Question

I am 38, I have always had drooping corners and things lips to the corners if my mouth.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The technique I recommend is 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.  The procedure takes less than 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $3,000.

Best Wishes,

A downturned smile or permanent frown can be improved with a combination approach, including neuromodulators (such as Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau), injectable fillers, and radiofrequency skin tightening treatments such as Thermage or Venus Legacy. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there, based on photos you sent, without seeing the whole face, a corner lip lift seems to be the most reasonable option to improve your lip shape. Currently lip corners are downturned and corner lip lift effectively addresses this. Bullhorn lip lift focuses on central part of the lips. Best regards, Piotr Osuch, MD, PhD

You would require an extended corner of mouth lift with lateral vermilion advancements to properly address the downturned mouth corners and thin/disappearing thin sides of the upper lip.
