Downturned Mouth Corners

As we age, we can start to develop a droop to our mouth corners which can make us look ‘sad’ and give a more aged appearance. These are caused by our depressor anguli oris muscles, which pull on the corners of the mouth.

If mild, we can place a small amount of neuromodulator into these muscles to reduce the downturn of the mouth corners.

For more moderate to severe cases, we often combine this with filler into our peri-oral lines for best results.

Duration & Longevity

The appointment takes around 30 minutes, with the injections taking only 5 minutes.

The results from the botox take a few days to start to show, with full results in 2 weeks. Botox in this area generally lasts around 3-4 months on average, after which time, the muscles simply resume their normal activity.
