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: Downward mouth corners Strategic placement of neurotoxins such as Botox or Xeomin can have a modest improvement in elevation of the corner of the mouth. If more drastic changes are desired then a surgical treatment such as facelift in the form of full facelift or midface lift will be more effective.

Answer: Available Treatments for Downturned Mouth? Botox Allows Mouth Corners to Lift Judging from your photos, there is a strong downward tug on your mouth muscles that could be alleviated with Botox. This neuromodulator will relax those muscles so they release the tension that is holding your mouth down, which will then allow the corners of your lips to lift. You may also need skin resurfacing plus dermal fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm to fill in the creases. I hope this helps.

Answer: Treatments for Downturned Mouth? Botox, Dysport or Xeomin Can Relax Mouth Muscles Your downturned mouth can be corrected with a neuromodulator that will relax the muscles that are dragging it downward. Botox, Dysport or Xeomin could all improve your expression, if administered by an expert. In addition, strategically placed filler, like Restylane or Juvederm can also lift and fill in this depressed area with results that last over a year. Often we use both of these techniques together for an amazing result. Please be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who has many years of experience using neuromodulators around the mouth; you want to get a beautiful result without impeding expression or motion.

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.
