Why Do the Corners of My Mouth Turn Down with Age?

Here are some common reasons:

Skin Elasticity Loss: Over time, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep it firm and supple. This reduction leads to looser, more lax skin, especially around the lower face.
Increased Muscle Activity: The depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle, which runs from the mouth corners toward the chin, is responsible for pulling the mouth downward. With repeated expressions and the natural loss of facial fat, this muscle can become more prominent, leading to a downturned appearance.
Cheek Volume Loss: With age, we lose fat in the cheeks, which contributes to a heavier-looking jawline. This volume shift can emphasize a downturned mouth as the support structure for the mid and lower face diminishes.
Bone and Jaw Changes: Aging also affects bone structure. The jawline may lose definition, and the area around the mouth and chin can become hollow, both of which can contribute to a downward turn at the mouth.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suffer with rosacea which has gotten progressively worse in my 30s. I also did not like all the pigmentation on my face from years of sun damage. I got BBL laser done with Sarah as this was highly recommended for pigmentation and redness. I couldn't recommend Sarah enough, she was so friendly, knowledgeable and informative and great at keeping me calm during the treatment. I had some redness directly after the treatment which subsided within a couple hours and my skin has not looked better in months. Can't wait for the final result. If you have been considering BBL do not hesitate and book it, you wont regret it. Many thanks to Sarah, looking forward to my next visit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How Can I Lift the Corners of My Mouth?

At our clinic, we offer personalised treatments to address the downturned appearance of the mouth. We typically recommend a combination of treatments to tackle the different factors involved:

anti wrinkle injections: By applying anti wrinkle injections to the DAO muscle, we can reduce its downward pull on the mouth corners. This relaxation effect subtly lifts the corners for a more natural, refreshed look.
Dermal Fillers: To counteract volume loss, we use dermal fillers in key areas like the cheeks and around the mouth. This restores fullness, supports the facial structure, and creates a balanced, youthful contour. Fillers also help to smooth lines and folds, enhancing the overall appearance.

Why Combine anti wrinkle injections and Dermal Fillers for a Downturned Mouth?

A downturned mouth is typically caused by multiple age-related changes, so a single treatment approach may not fully address the issue. Using both anti wrinkle injections and fillers allows us to:

Replenish lost volumeto lift and support the mouth area
Soften wrinklesand folds around the mouth
Relax overactive musclesthat contribute to the downward turn

By combining these treatments, we aim to restore balance and a natural, lifted look. If you’re interested in a personalised treatment plan to rejuvenate your smile, please reach out to schedule a consultation. We look forward to helping you achieve a look that reflects how vibrant you feel inside.
