What Procedure Will Lift the Corners of my Mouth Up So I Don't Have a Frown? (photo)

Question

What procedure do I need to lift the corners of my mouth up so I don't look like I'm frowning? I also have pockets of fat just under the corners of my mouth, what procedure do I need to get rid of those? I have some fat and irregular hanging skin under my chin what proceeded do I need For this? I had lipo under my chin many years ago and the PS said the skin would even out but it didn't. I am 53. I would love a recommendation of a PS near the San Francisco areas who does a lot of this.

Good day! Thank you for providing a photo with your query. Ask your doctor about corner lift that focuses on the outer edge of the upper lip to the corner. This procedure is used to raise the corner of the mouth and improves the look of despair. The small incision is closed with dissolving sutures and can be covered with make up within the week. There are other non invasive options such as Botox, Dysport or similar muscle relaxers can be used to soften the smoker’s lines and allow the corners of the mouth to turn up. But it is still best to have an in person examination with a board-certified surgeon in your area that has extensive experience with your case. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Radiesse is a great filler that lasts about 1 yr and can upturn the corners of the mouth quite easily for roughly $650. Sincerely,
