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. Visit a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to receive a personalized treatment plan that helps you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Dysport can be injected into the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles to elevate the oral commissures. Usually between 6-15 units are injected into each muscle. For more resistant cases, often filler is used in combination to achieve the desired result.
It is very difficult to achieve that kind of result with a neurotoxin. You could attempt about 30 units of Dysport in the orbicularis oris muscle. You may see a bit of a result.
Only a small amount of Dysport is needed to lift a downturned mouth. Approximately 5 units per side is needed, but it will vary based on patient exam. See an expert injector for your treatment.
To treat a downturned mouth I usually use a 2 step process because it is caused by muscle activity and loss of lower face volume. For Dysport, I will use a range of 12-18 units to each side and also filler to restore volume. This can be done in the same sitting.
Only a small amount of dysport is typically needed to lift the corners of the mouth (I usually start with 2.5-3 units per side). This should be injected into a specific location within the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle. I recommend going to an experienced board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for this injection because misplacement of dysport in this area can cause the mouth to become temporarily lopsided. It is a great treatment when done properly. Good luck!
Dysport or any other neurotoxin is a good treatment to lift the corner of the mouth. The usual dose range, depending on age, gender and muscle strength, is between 3-6 units/side.
Hello and thank you for your question, This is very difficult to answer without seeing any pictures. I suggest you see a medical provider for an in person consultation for the answer that is best for you. Best wishes.Dr. T
Dysport is also used to contour facial features. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures. Determine if this is the best approach for you.
Neuromodulators can be a great tool for improvement in synkenesis. The goal of the treatment is to modulate the strength of the muscles of facial expression in order to bring balance to the face as well as improve some of the pain that may be associated with increased activity in certain muscles...
It is likely that it was the Restylane, and no the Dysport, that left the bump under your eyes. The enzyme will break down the hyaluronic acid present in the Restylane but will not affect the Dysport. It is possible that you may need a bit more hyaluronidase injected if you still have the bump....
