I had Sculptra injected into my nasolabial and melolabial folds. However, it did not seem to make a difference in the downturn of my mouth. Is there another injectable to fix this? Do I need Dysport or Botox for that area? Is surgery my only option?

Answer: Options for a downturn mouth. Hi SDN. Yes, absolutely there are options for downturned corners of the mouth. Rather than Sculptra, which is injected very deeply into the skin, we would have used a product like Restylane which is injected into the dermal tissue near the surface. Placing this product under the indentation at the corner of the mouth would have helped to address your concerns. If that was not enough, we can inject a muscle that pulls the corner of the mouth down with Dysport (Botox). When we do this, the muscles that pull upward in the same area take over and you see an improvement. To see an example of a patient that had these two injection procedures, click on the link below.

Answer: Laxity There are different options to address that issue and they include: botox, filler and non surgical tightening like ultherapy. Best would be a in person consult to determine the ideal treatment option.
