A mouth corner lift with Botox is a treatment that injects Botox into the "depressor anguli oris (the muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth downward)," which causes a downturned mouth. This relaxes the muscle's pull, so the corners of the mouth turn upward more naturally.
No scalpel is used at all, so there is almost no downtime, and it can create "lifted mouth corners that look like a gentle smile," even when your face is at rest. It is an ideal treatment for anyone who wants a friendly, approachable first impression.
Recommended for people who:
- Tend to have a downturned mouth without realizing it, and are often seen as looking angry or in a bad mood
- Are bothered by sagging around the mouth and look older than their actual age
- Are hesitant about full cosmetic surgery involving incisions, but want the corners of their mouth to look neater
