Are Downturned Mouth Corners Making You Look Sad or Unapproachable?

Downturned mouth corners can give an unintended impression of sadness or disapproval, even when you’re feeling content. This can affect your confidence and how others perceive you. At Monaz Clinic, we offer BOTOX® injections to gently lift the corners of your mouth, helping you achieve a more positive and approachable appearance while maintaining your natural expressions.

What Are Downturned Mouth Corners?

  • A condition where the corners of the mouth droop downward.
  • Caused By:
    • Aging: Loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone.
    • Genetics: Some people naturally have downturned mouth corners.
    • Gravity and Muscle Pull: Overactive muscles pulling the mouth corners downward.
  • Impact: Can make you appear sad, angry, or unapproachable.

Why Consider Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Downturned Mouth Corners?

  • Quick Results: Notice improvements within 3 to 5 days.
  • Non-Surgical Solution: No incisions or significant downtime.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Lift mouth corners without altering your expressions.
  • Boosted Confidence: Feel more positive and confident in your appearance.
  • Preventative Care: Helps prevent further down turning over time.

Who Is This Treatment For?

Anti-wrinkle injections for downturned mouth corners are ideal if you:

  • Notice that your mouth corners turn downward, giving an unintended sad or stern look.
  • Desire a non-invasive treatment with minimal recovery time.

how is downturned mouth corner treatment works

How Does the Treatment Work?

  • Muscle Relaxation: BOTOX® blocks nerve signals to the muscles (depressor anguli oris) that pull the mouth corners downward.
  • Lifted Appearance: With these muscles relaxed, the upward-pulling muscles (zygomaticus major and minor) elevate the mouth corners.
  • Balanced Smile: Creates a more neutral or slightly upturned mouth corner, enhancing your natural smile.
  • Preserved Expressions: Only specific muscles are treated, so your natural facial movements remain intact.
