Can dermal fillers treat sagging near corners of my mouth? (Photos)

Question

I have some sagging/ a slight bulge near the corners of my mouth. Can dermal fillers treat this? I had cheek fillers in March, which didn't help or give me the lift I wanted.

Based on what you circled, there appears to be two vertical ridges next to the corners of your mouth on both sides. The cause of this is unclear, and it may just be a normal natural part of your face. I suspect that fillers could make ridges like this worse. Digital photos rarely tell the whole story, so please consider Consulting with a reputable facial plastic surgeon for advice moving forward if this is bothering you significantly. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Dermal fillers are a great tool to soften the appearance of folds and improve facial contours.  You may also benefit from Morpheus8 treatments to improve overall skin tone and texture.  See an expert injector near you for evaluation and treatment.

Yes, dermal fillers are one of the best options for reducing these lines, which are commonly called marionette lines. Because marionette lines tend to form deep crevices in the skin, we commonly recommend Juvéderm Ultra or Juvéderm Ultra XC, which are both designed to reach deeply into the dermal tissue.
Juvéderm Ultra XC (which includes lidocaine for a more comfortable injection) is an ideal formula for mild to moderate nasolabial folds, as it is lighter weight and sits higher in the dermal layers; while Juvéderm Ultra is designed to reach deeper into the dermal tissue, making it a great option for more major results on marionette lines. We hope this helps!
