Age 25 - What can help this sagging area around my mouth?

Question

I’m 25 years old and have begun to notice this sagging, thick area around my mouth. I’ve started noticing this more in side photos with certain lightings. Gives me a sort of frowning look as well. Would Botox, filler, thread lifts or what help with this? Or will it go away eventually? Thank you!

The best way to turn your frown upside down is with filler injections. Another option is Botox; however, that has a potential complication of causing a crooked smile. If you want a more permanent solution, we can also improve marionette lines with fat transfer during a surgical procedure.

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

The problem here is a routine one in any active cosmetic dermatology practice. It is simply early marionette lines. The expert use of an appropriately robust HA filler can quite easily lift them up and straighten the angles of the mouth. And the results are typically immediate. You would be wise to seek treatment by an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.
