I’ve always had prominent corners of my mouth, and a sagging jowl. They are always the first thing I see. I’ve had nasolabial and cheek fillers with little results. A lot of doctors here have recommended a thread lift, which I am open to but they only last 6-12 months. Is there anything else I could do that would last longer?
Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Recessive chin leads to mouth changes The common answers of botox for the depressor muscle or filler will be brief and partially correct the concern. A correctly sized chin augmentation will release the ligaments pulling the corners of the mouth down and more importantly produce a better jawline. This is permanent and rarely but easily removed.

Answer: Corners of mouth turned down Its not a long last treatment, but I would recommend trying Botox injections into the DAO (depressor anguli oris). Some people have a hyperactice DAO muscle which can be the main reason the mouth corners pull down. Botox can help the actual problem and help prevent this from getting worse as you get older.

Answer: Improving heavy mouth corners As you'll see from the various answers, you have a few options, different price points, down time, discomfort and duration for each of them. In your case I'd try some mid-cheek fillers and DAO Botox injection and see if that gives you the result you desire. If insufficient, a surgical correction (e.g. chin implant) may be considered.

Answer: Sculptra and Botox Thank you for sharing your pictures. I like treating with Sculptra injections in my younger patients as it revolumizes/ recontours the face and it stimulates new collagen which helps with firming and mild sagging. In addition, adding Botox including to the depressor muscles of the mouth could help. Best to you.
