Should I get fillers or anti-wrinkle for downturned mouth?
This concern cannot be solved with dermal filler, which is primarily used to correct hollowness or define contours by adding volume or structure.
We can only treat this issue by inhibiting the muscle movement responsible for causing this mouth position. Our muscle-relaxing injections work to relax the overactive muscle, and in turn, the overly downwards pulling of the mouth corners can be corrected.
In some cases, the placement of dermal filler into the cheekbone area may contribute to a lifting effect for the lower face; however, this is a supplementary measure and not a standalone solution and depends on the individual patient’s facial characteristics.
How many treatments will I need?
This will depend on the strength and severity of your DOA muscles and their effect on your mouth corners. Generally, one treatment is all that’s required to inhibit the targeted overactive muscle, making this a highly effective and convenient solution.
We welcome our patients to the clinic for a complimentary follow-up appointment to review the results of your treatment, and if required, will provide a complimentary top-up treatment to ensure you are satisfied with the outcome.
