This makes me look like I am constantly frowning when my face is at rest. I am 27 years old.
Answer: Facial sagging With some mid-face descent, a combination of cheek fillers and thread lifting would provide a "lift" without undergoing a surgical procedure. Additional filler in the area beneath the corners of your mouth can also provide improvement for a down-turned smile. A small amount of botox to the depressor muscle also help

Answer: Morpheus 8 and Botox in the DAO Hi @aehartman! I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting. In addition, I recommend getting a few units of Botox into the DAO muscle. The injections stop the DAO muscle pulling down the corners of the mouth. Treatment will cause the corners of the mouth to be slightly lifted, giving the mouth a more relaxed, happy, youthful and pleasing appearance. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Improving Marionette Lines- Lasers. Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, RF like VIVA, Peels, Fillers, Skin Care, Face Lift, Fat I recommend fillers for the lines themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, J Plasma and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Marionette lines Hi,Thank you for including your photos. I think an in-person evaluation would be very helpful - specifically because it's hard to tell if you have down-turned corners of the mouth or little pockets of fat that are associated with the marionette lines. The treatments can be very different. If muscles that pull the corners of your mouth down are overactive, then botox/dysport and maybe a little filler to that area will solve the problem. The other non-surgical option may be resuspension sutures (Silhouette InstaLift). These are dissolvable sutures that can help to pull the sagging tissue to a higher position and soften the transition between your cheek and chin (they last 2-3 years). Again, the best starting point for you is to visit a board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and review your treatment options.Best,Mehdi Sina, MD

Answer: Marionette lines The best option would be restyline injected to fill the fat pockets around your mouth. Restyline can also be used to fill marionette lines. Botox or Dysport would also be a good option for the lines as well
