Thanks for your question and photo. There are three types of corner lip lifts, each of which provide their own idiosyncratic benefits.The noninvasive route would be fillers plus or minus a neuromodulator such as Botox® into the depressor anguli oris muscle. This treatment route is good for mild cases. However, corner lip ptosis progresses with age. A traditional corner lip lift will elevate the drooping corners of your mouth while at the same time, help eradicate the small fold (marionette fold) that originates from the corner. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia and results are subtle yet dramatic. The DAO release is performed within the mouth but is a less effective treatment option than a traditional corner lift (the effects of which can be predicted by injecting Botox ® into the aforementioned muscle). A medial corner lip lift is one which elevates the corners of the mouth, lessens the marionette folds and also can directly reshape the lateral vermillion. It is essentially a "magic trick". Results are permanent, subtle and yet, as mentioned, very dramatic. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in lip augmentation to discuss best individual treatment plan.
Thank you for your question. While fillers are an option, the corner lip lift is a permanent procedure to subtly raise and even the overall mouth contour. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy.Best wishes,
Shirleybird. Fillers like Juvederm Ultra plus works very well in the oral commissures, corners of your mouth. Placed properly, Juvederm raises the corners nicely. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist with lots of filler experience. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your question. You may wish to consider a small amount of botox near your jawline to help with the downturned appearance of your corners as well as filler placement along the lower portion of each. This should help improve upon your current appearance. Hope this helps.
A combination approach would give the most improvement. I recommend fillers, botox and pdo nova threads to improve shape and provide lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
