The corners of my mouth turn down slightly, but there is also a turned down look that seems to extend past my mouth and down toward my chin. Can Botox fix this??
Answer: Turned down mouth or Marionette lines The turning down of the corners of the mouth happens with age. From your photo, it looks very mild. I like to put 2 units of Botox into the muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth down. You can also fill in the corners of the mouth with filler, such as Restylane, or Juvederm. The muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth down is called the Depressor Anguli Oris. The injection is actually done along the jawline where the muscle inserts. If you inject near the lip, or too medially, then you can hit the mentalis muscle - this will result in a crooked smile. Making sure you have the botox injection by someone that has done it many times will give you a great result.

Answer: Botox for Turned Down Smile A small dose of Botox can be injected into the Depressor Anguli Oris muscles (DAO) to help with your down turned smile. However, you need to find someone who is skilled in doing this procedure as very little Botox is required and if injected incorrectly can result in an uneven smile.

Answer: Turned down mouth. Do not do anything for this since the various"treatments" will not correct this and you take a chance of distorting your smile.

Answer: Botox and the mouth area It is much safer and effective to use Restylane or Juvederm to turn up the lip. Botox can cause the opposite effect and I would not recommend it. Please find a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience in cosmetic procedures for the best results.
