A downward pull at the mouth corners can give your face a serious expression even when you feel at ease. Treatment softens that muscular pull, bringing a gentler look to the lower face while respecting the natural movement of your lips and the character of your smile.
What is treatment for downturned mouth corners?
This treatment uses botulinum toxin to reduce the action of muscles pulling the mouth corners downwards. Assessment distinguishes muscular pull from changes in skin support or volume around the lips.
When do you choose this treatment?
Consider treatment when muscle activity pulls the corners of your mouth downwards. It is suited to a muscle-related downturn, with the lips and surrounding lower face assessed together.
Safety of Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin treatment starts with a medical assessment of your health, medicines and the area being treated. Temporary bruising, tenderness or unwanted weakness can occur. Seek urgent medical attention for difficulty swallowing or breathing, or weakness beyond the treated area.
