I am in my later 20s and I notice considerable drooping of the corners of my lips, comparing to photos taken in my mid 20s. They give me that frowning look. The corners of my lips are also drooping asymmetrically. I have heard of lip lift for mouth corners, dental facelift, and fillers. I worry that fuller lips from injecting filler will not harmonize with my Asian facial features. What are the best early interventions and procedures to correct the drooping and asymmetry?
Answer: Permanent option for drooping corners of mouth Thank you for your question. Although neurotoxins and fillers could improve the drooping corners of your mouth, it would require long term maintenance as neurotoxins eventually wear out and become very costly. I believe a simple corner lip lift would be more beneficial in your case because of your young age. Small wedges would be removed at the lateral ala to lift the corners of the mouth. Two small incisions would be hidden at the creases of the ala where they would be virtually undetectable. I typically remove tissue from this area on a routine basis in conjunction to a bullhorn lip lift to avoid a turned down mouth. You are welcome to view my gallery of lip lifts on this site to see my results. I hope this helps.Best wishes and kind regards,

Answer: Correcting the "Frowning Look"- Options All the procedures you mentioned can help in correcting the "frowning look" that is affecting the corners of the mouth. Before undergoing an invasive procedure such as a Lip Lift, I will suggest to try an intervention that will have less risks and downtimes. If you combine a neurotoxin, such as Botox or Dysport, with a filler, such as Refyne or Volbella, it will help correct the drooping and asymmetry that you are explaining.

Answer: How to Treat Drooping Mouth Corners We offer non surgical treatments to lift the drooping corners of the mouth for younger patients. This consists of Botox to weaken the muscles that pull the corners of your mouth downward, thereby allowing the corner of the mouth "lifting" muscles to work unopposed. Cautious use of a dermal filler with an appropriately selected firmness will provide a "scaffolding" of support in the deeper tissues to support the corner of the mouth and prevent it from sagging We also perform surgical treatments for patients starting in middle age. A well executed "Corner Lip Lift" has returned good results in our practice with patients gaining a more youthful mouth shape with lifted corners of their lips back to a neutral position with the remainder of the mouth.
