WHAT CAUSES DROOPING CORNERS OF THE MOUTH

Do you hate your drooping mouth corners? They can make you look sad to grumpy and even angry. You can get them either from an inherited  genetic trait or from the process of aging.  Let’s take a closer look at the causes. There are two ways to get them.

1. One way your mouth can droop is due to the contraction of the mandible muscle known as the depressor anguli oris (DAO) shown as the blue dots in the illustration below. This is a paired set of muscles that run adjacent to the corners of your lips. For example, when you frown, these muscles pull down both sides of the mouth. Try to make a down-turned frown and you will feel those jaw muscles tensing up and causing the muscles to pull the corners of the mouth downward. If your drooping mouth is caused by the repetitive action of DAO,  you can use Botox to paralyze these muscles and reduce the drooping of the corners of your mouth. As a caution, if Botox is not injected properly, the possible negative side effects can include drooling, slurred speech, and difficulty drinking from a cup. Unfortunately, there is no Botox antidote to undo paralyzed lips. You will have to wait for 3 months for the Botox to wear off.  If it is done correctly, you will have repeated treatments every 3 months to maintain your look. Each session runs about $300.

2. Another cause of lip drooping is related to aging. Take a look at the young skin and aging skin illustration below. As you age, your skin loses elastin and collagen. Both are structures that support elements of the skin.  Elastin keeps the skin tight and collagen gives skin its firmness.  Both of these fibers are rich in young skin. Observe how perfectly aligned these fibers are.  As you age, they start to deteriorate and look like a broken mesh.  As a consequence, the skin lost its shape.  This action causes the skin to sag, forcing the corners of your mouth to droop.   To restore the corners of your mouth, hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are commonly used to replace what you lost. Some patients may use both Botox to relax the DAO and lip fillers to target lost collagen. The cost of lip fillers for drooping mouths may run about $500 per syringe. The effect may last 3 to 6 months. You may need approximately 2 treatments a year. The possible negative side effects may include bumps and nodules developing in treated areas.

OTHER OPTIONS TO REDUCE DROOPING OF THE CORNERS OF THE MOUTH

If you opt to have a permanent procedure done to eliminate the drooping corners of your mouth, watch these two videos below. Both procedures make incisions at the corners of your mouth. In the first video, the surgical Smile Lipt procedure will cut into the muscles at the corners of your mouth. In the second video, only the top skin at the corners of your mouth is cut out. The possible risks are scar formations, asymmetrical lips, or overlifting of the mouth corners which may give you a joker’s look. The cost may run round $2,500 to $3500 per lip lift procedure.
