My mom has droopy lines on the corners of her mouth so I’m guessing I got them too by genetics but is there anyway to get rid of them? It really brings my self esteem down.
Answer: Treating lines around the mouth Thank you for your question and photo. This concern can be addressed with some different treatments. A neuromodulator like Botox targets the overactive muscles that lead to the downturned mouth corners, raising them upward. Results will last 3-4 months for most patients. Filler can also be used, either alone or in combination with the neuromodulator. Finally, a surgical lift may also be an option to achieve a longer-lasting result. I encourage you to meet with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess you in person and create a customized treatment plan based on your precise concerns and goals.

Answer: Botox for the DAO muscle Hi @elena.ortiz! I recommend getting 2 units of Botox into the DAO muscle. The injections stop the DAO muscle pulling down the corners of the mouth. Treatment will cause the corners of the mouth to be slightly lifted, giving the mouth a more relaxed, happy, youthful and pleasing appearance.

Answer: Droopy jowel Jowls can be addressed many different ways. Skin tightening can help and so can filler or even a combination of the two. If it is caused by tight muscles in the jaw, then even Botox or Dysport can make a difference.

Answer: Droopy mouth corners Hi, droopy corner of the mouth is an easy fix. One way is to use Botulinum toxin to relax the muscles that pull down the corner of the mouth. This treatment lasts between 3-4 months. Another option is to use fillers to push up the corners of the mouth. The results can last anywhere from 6 months to 5 years depending on which product is used.
