Fillers for lip corner fold? I'm 19 and slim and have always had downturned lip corners. (photo)

Question

I'm 19 and slim and have always had downturned lip corners due to chubby cheeks, but one is significantly worse. I've tried DAO botox to no avail, as it seems to be caused by skin tightness. It's not a wrinkle or sagging, which are most of the problems asked about here, so I'm wondering if placing support below the fold using dermal fillers may help?

Your intuition is right on the mark The use of robust HA lifting filler to provide support to the angles of the mouth is the appropriate treatment for this kind of issue. It doesn't typically much to achieve the desired result. You would wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Be sure to ask to see his/her personal befores and after prior to agreeing to proceed. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Filling in the corners of the mouth will make a sad smile look happy and youthful.  Botox is usually worthless and can distort this area easily.

Based on your posted photo for the downward effect of the corners of your mouth, you can try HA fillers a lip lift minor surgery under anesthesia is a more permanent result. Fee for that surgery is $3000. Best to consult virtually so recommendation can may be made for surgery in Houston. Regards.
