Thank you for your question. Typically the amount of Juvederm needed to lift the corners of the mouth depends on the amount of volume loss in that particular area. I usually start with small amounts and then gradually increase the amount until the corners appear lifted and naturally balanced with the rest of the face. Best,
Your age, possible volume loss and muscle activity near your mouth will determine how much hyaluronic acid filler will be needed to correct your features.I, and most injectors, start with not more than 1/2 cc (half of one syringe) per side to see if we can create a nice correction. Too much Juvederm in the corners could result in lumpiness; give it some time (10-14 days) to blend with your tissues.
Usually 1/2 - 1 syringe per side.The amount of filler needed to lift the corners of your mouth depends on your overall facial structure and the amount of hollowing. It also depends on what the skin in the surrounding areas looks like: everything needs to be balanced. Beauty isn't about chasing a shadow, but creating one harmonious topography with seamless transitions from one facial zone to the next. Be well.
Always start with one syringe and see if you are satisifed with the desired result. You can always add more.
There is no pat answer to the question of how much fuller is needed for a particular area like the corners of the mouth. It depends on how severe your problem is and the cause. Down turned commisures (the mouth corner) are usually multifactorial: volume loss in the cheeks and skin above the upper lip above, in the lip itself, and in the pre-jowel sulcus/chin below and excessive muscle pull down by the depressor muscles of the chin. A combination of fillers and toxins may be necessary. If the downturn has created almost scar like skin in the crease, multiple treatments may be needed over time to soften it and avoid creation of a 'donut' effect around the crease with filler.These are all issues that should be discussed with your physician at consultation. Wishing you the best of luck.
From your photos it looks more like melasma than a consequence of the filler injection. Melasma can darken quickly if you had some unprotected sun exposure after the procedure.
Yvoire is a filler that is not approved in the U.S. so I have no personal experience with it. However, it is an HA filler and we often use different HA fillers together without issue. So, I would suspect that it is fine to use the two HA products in the same region, but more than that, I would...
You are experiencing a little bruising after the filler. This will dissapate quickly in 2 weeks and be no problem. Do not get sunburned. My Best, Dr C
