What is Downturned Mouth Treatment?
Downturned mouth treatment uses precise injections of botulinum toxin to relax the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles — the small muscles responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downward. When these muscles are overactive, they can create a sad, tired, or stern appearance even when you feel perfectly fine.
By gently reducing the pull of the DAO muscles, the corners of the mouth lift subtly and naturally, restoring a softer, more positive expression. The treatment is quick, effective, and often combined with chin or jawline treatments to enhance overall facial balance.
Is Downturned Mouth Treatment right for me?
This treatment may be ideal if you want to:
Lift the corners of your mouth for a more refreshed look
Soften a naturally downturned or “sad” expression
Reduce tension or overactivity in the lower face
Complement dermal fillers around the mouth or chin
Achieve a more balanced, harmonious resting expression
A few small injections are placed at the sides of the mouth to relax the DAO muscles. Most patients feel only mild pressure, with temporary redness or small bumps resolving within minutes.
Results begin within 3–5 days, with full lift visible at around 2 weeks. Effects typically last 3–4 months, depending on natural muscle activity and facial animation.
