How to Get Up-turned Lips?

Botox injections to the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle can help return the corner of the mouth to a neutral or even upturned position. The bilateral depressor anguli oris muscle inserts at each oral commissure (corner of the mouth). This muscle may become hyperkinetic
with time, resulting in downturned oral commissures. The individual with downturned corners of
the mouth takes on a sad face appearance or an expression of disapproval. A few units of Botox injected into the depressor anguli oris muscle relax
this downward pull vector. The corners of the mouth
return to a neutral or even upturned position. This
positioning also can be assisted with filler material
placed inferior to the commissures. Despite often beneficial effects, treatment of this muscle occasionally can have inconsistent results. In general, we have obtained good results with botox 5 units per side as the standard starting dose for the treatment
of oral commissures. We tend to administer one
injection per side. Injections can be made directly
into the DAO muscle located on the mandibular
body. Reference: Petrus GM, Lewis D, Maas CS. Anatomic considerations for treatment with botulinum toxin. Facial Plast Surg Clin N Am. 2007; 15: 1-9

In my hands a combination of botox to the muscles the depress the lips and a small amount of filler in this area can make a big difference.The key is to find that balance and to not put too much filler in this location as it can.Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

Dear SuzyAv8trix,A direct lip lift
surgery removes tissue directly from above the upper lip line border. The end
result is a slightly raised effect.

A Subnasal Lip Lift
is arguably the most popular method of lip lift surgery. This procedure is performed by removing a bit
of skin tissue from underneath the nose. When the incision is closed, the removed tissue creates a slight lift in
the upper lip. The
corner lip lift can help create a more uniform lip line post procedure. The
corner lip lift uses tiny incisions above the outer corners of the mouth to
subtly raise and even the overall mouth contour. This can prevent lip lift
patients from winding up with a slightly downturned lip line.I suggest you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to receive the best care, treatment, advice and expertise available.
