I have naturally thick lips and have previous lip corner lift surgery to change the shape of the lip corners (extended a bit); I thought this would fix my corners but didn't (I also have a visible scar). I am quite young (mid 20's) and yet the corners of my mouth appear to droop and form lines from the side view. I'd like to know if this is something botox can help with, and/or if there are any other procedures I can get to address this.
Answer: DAO Botox Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Yes, Botox can be helpful in some cases if your mouth corners are being pulled downward. The DAO muscle is typically responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth down, and Botox can be injected in this area to prevent that area not being pulled down.

Answer: Exploring Botox and Alternative Treatments for Lifting Mouth Corners Post-Surgery To determine if Botox can raise the corners of your mouth, especially after previous lip corner lift surgery, it's important to understand how Botox works and explore other potential treatments. Botox can relax the depressor anguli oris muscles, which pull the mouth corners downward. By doing so, it allows the upward-pulling muscles to have a more pronounced effect, potentially lifting the corners of the mouth.

Answer: RE: Can Botox raise the corners of my mouth? Hello, It is Dr.Hong from Fresh PS Clinic, S.Korea Seoul.Unfortunately botox has no power to lift anything. It only can relax muscles, what leads to it size reduce or just relaxation ( go down), so for already droop corners of the mouth it is not good idea. Based on the second pictures, it looks like excessive fat...(cheeks and near mouth) also micrognathia (small chin) make this issue more prominent. In my opinion lipo of cheeks and around mouth, chin filler (help to make it advanced) can help to fix it by mini invasive approach.
