Facial expressions reflect our emotions, but as we age, they may not always express how we truly feel. One common concern often overlooked is the downward turn of the mouth corners, which creates an unintended look of sadness or fatigue. Fortunately, you can correct this with a non-surgical, highly effective solution: Botox for mouth corners.
At Wymore Laser & Anti-Aging Medicine, our experts specialize in precision-focused enhancements that bring out your natural beauty. We use advanced Botox techniques to gently lift the corners of your mouth and help your expression match your vibrant personality.
What Is Botox for Mouth Corners?
Botox, or Botulinum Toxin Type A, is a purified neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. While most people associate Botox with smoothing forehead lines or crow’s feet, our team also uses it to address downturned mouth corners caused by the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles. When we inject Botox into these muscles, we reduce their downward pull. As a result, your elevator muscles can lift the mouth corners slightly, giving you a softer and more balanced smile.
Why Do Mouth Corners Droop?
Aging causes several changes that lead to sagging mouth corners:
- The DAO muscles become overactive, creating a constant downward pull.
- Collagen and elastin levels decrease, weakening skin structure.
- Fat pads and bone density in the lower face shrink, reducing support.
- Sun exposure, stress, and smoking accelerate these effects.
Over time, these changes cause your mouth to appear turned down even if you’re feeling great. Botox addresses the root cause by relaxing the right muscles for a subtle lift.
Are You a Candidate for Mouth Corner Botox?
You’re a great candidate if you:
- Notice that the corners of your mouth turn down at rest
- Want a non-surgical solution to refresh your facial appearance
- Feel that your resting face doesn’t match your mood
- Want natural, subtle results with minimal downtime
- Are in good health and have realistic expectations
At Wymore Laser, our providers assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and craft a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs.
What to Expect During Treatment:
We make your Botox experience safe, effective, and tailored from beginning to end.
1. Consultation
First, we perform a comprehensive consultation. We examine your:
- Facial muscles and expressions
- Aesthetic goals
- Medical history
- Need for combination treatments like fillers or PRF
2. Injection
Next, we inject Botox into the DAO muscles using an ultra-fine needle. This quick procedure takes 10–15 minutes. Most patients describe the experience as a slight pinch, and we rarely need numbing.
3. Aftercare
After your treatment, you can return to daily activities. However, we recommend:
- Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Staying upright for at least 4–6 hours
- Not massaging or touching the treated area
You’ll start seeing results in 3–5 days, with full effects in 10–14 days. Your refreshed look typically lasts 3 to 4 months.
