Are Downturned Mouth Corners Affecting Your Confidence

Are Downturned Mouth Corners Affecting Your Confidence?

Downturned mouth corners can make you appear sad, tired, or unapproachable, even when you’re feeling content. This can impact your self-esteem and how others perceive you. While anti-wrinkle injections can relax the muscles pulling down the corners of your mouth, dermal fillers offer a different approach by adding volume and support to lift the corners upward. At Monaz Clinic, we specialise in using premium dermal fillers like Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Teosyal® to correct downturned mouth corners and rejuvenate your smile.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin. They work by:

  • Adding Volume: Restoring lost volume to lift and support facial structures.
  • Hydrating Skin: Attracting moisture to improve skin elasticity.
  • Enhancing Facial Contours: Providing subtle lift for a more youthful appearance.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections (e.g., BOTOX®):

  • Function: Relax muscles (depressor anguli oris) that pull the mouth corners downward.
  • Ideal For: Muscular causes of downturned mouth corners.
  • Duration: Results last 3 to 4 months.

Dermal Fillers:

  • Function: Add volume and support to lift the mouth corners upward.
  • Ideal For: Volume loss, structural support, and correcting asymmetry.
  • Duration: Results last 6 to 18 months.

Which Treatment Is Right for You?

  • Muscular Causes: If the downturn is mainly due to overactive muscles, anti-wrinkle injections may be sufficient.
  • Volume Loss or Structural Issues: If volume loss or skin laxity is contributing, dermal fillers can effectively lift and support the area.
  • Combination Approach: Often, combining both treatments provides optimal results for a lifted, youthful smile.

Procedure
  • Duration: Approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
