Folds on mouth commissure?

Question

What can I do to remove these folds other than a facelift? Its not so much the nasolabial crease but the mounds it forms of sagging skin

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Fortunately, there are several treatments available to address this concern. Skin-tightening procedures, such as treatments with lasers, ultrasound, or radio waves, can stimulate collagen production, making loose skin tauter. Additionally, fillers can be injected into the skin around the corners of the lips, the lips themselves, or even the cheeks and jawline to counteract any sagging.We would be more than happy to discuss these treatment options with you in more detail and determine the best course of action based on your individual needs and preferences.

Hello laji21! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. Based on the image, I highly recommend to try the Morpheus8 treatment. This procedure uses radiofrequency technology combined with microneedling and thus targets the deeper layers of the skin. It is an excellent treatment for skin tightening, improved skin texture, and reduces wrinkles/fine lines. I highly recommend!

Relax. Your issue is a simple one that is seen practically every day in active cosmetic dermatology practices. The use of an appropriately robust, lifting, HA filler properly injected in the correct locations around the corners of the mouth can quickly and easily elevate and straighten this kind of jowling and dwonturning of the angles of the mouth. I literally just did this for my wife the night before last. Takes about five minutes in the hands of an experienced injector and the results are immediate. You would be wise to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. So relax, and best of luck.
