How many units of Dysport are required on each side to lift the corners of the mouth?

very little is needed around the mouth to lift the corners IF you are a good candidate, 2.5-5 units per side of dysport would suffice. I would suggest at home dermarolling to get skin tightening of this area. Best, Dr. Emer.

Typically, only 2-3 Botox equivalent units (6-9 units Dysport) are required to lift the corners of the mouth. While this will seem relatively simple, it can result in asymmetric smile if the wrong muscles are injected, so please make sure you visit an experienced injector.

Hello and thank you for your question. The problem with a downturned mouth is typically twofold. While muscle movement can pull the corners of the mouth down, so can lost facial volume. I often recommend targeting the area with a combination of neuromodulators, like Botox, and dermal fillers to correct both causes.
