Mouth corner lift botox: what does it involve?

A mouth corner lift with botox helps with downturned mouth corners. The treatment relaxes the muscle that pulls the mouth corners down. This eliminates the downward pull, giving the mouth corners a subtle lift. The result is a more positive facial expression.

For deeper lines, fillers are more effective.

When should you opt for Botox in the corners of your mouth?

Botox in the corners of the mouth is suitable when muscle activity pulls the corners of the mouth down, causing a gloomy or tired appearance. By reducing this muscle activity, the corners of the mouth can be subtly lifted. During a no-obligation consultation, the doctor will assess which treatment is best for you.

When do you choose botox for the mouth corners?

Botox is suitable when overactive muscles pull your mouth corners down, creating a tired appearance. This is often effective with just a few injections. Sometimes a filler is a better solution. During a free consultation, you and the doctor will determine which treatment is best for you.

Treatment process

Below, you can read step-by-step how a botox treatment for downturned mouth corners proceeds.

The treatment

The treatment lasts 10-15 minutes. The doctor marks the injection points and places a few small injections into the muscles that pull the mouth corners down. The result is subtle and natural.

Recovery at the clinic

After the treatment, the doctor briefly presses on the injection points to minimize swelling or bruising. If desired, you can relax for a while at the clinic. The doctor will discuss with you what you can and cannot do in the coming hours and days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find direct answers to questions about treatments, costs, and recovery.

  • Of course, something changes in your face when the corners of the mouth are treated with Botox. It sometimes happens that someone experiences this as unnatural. Drooping corners of the mouth often make the facial expression look sullen or bitter. The effect of Botox injections in this area is that your face gets a softer and more satisfied look. This is generally perceived as positive. However, it sometimes happens that someone experiences this treatment as unnatural. A treatment with a filler can then offer a solution.

  • A Botox treatment for drooping mouth corners costs €210. In combination with another area, you pay €105 for the second treatment.

  • As with any treatment, there are also risks associated with a treatment of the corners of the mouth. Many small muscles converge in this area, and if the wrong muscle is injected, this can cause an asymmetry of the corner of the mouth or a smile. In most cases, this can be corrected, but in some rare cases, you have to wait until the Botox has worn off.

  • If there is already a somewhat deeper wrinkle visible at the corner of the mouth, a filler is often a better solution. For initial sagging of the corner of the mouth, botox can offer a solution. Schedule a free and no-obligation consultation with our doctors to see which treatment is most suitable for you.

  • Yes, Botox can indeed help with downturned mouth corners, but it's important to have realistic expectations about what it can and cannot do. How it works: Botox relaxes the muscle (depressor anguli oris) that actively pulls the corners of the mouth downwards. By temporarily blocking this muscle, the mouth corners get a slight lift, and the unintentionally sad or stern expression disappears.

  • In most cases, your natural smile will not change significantly. If other muscles in this area are affected, there is a small chance your smile might temporarily change.

  • The results of a Botox treatment for downturned mouth corners typically last for an average of 3-4 months. After this period, the effect gradually diminishes as the muscle becomes active again, and the mouth corners slowly return to their original position. Repeated treatments are necessary for lasting results. With regular repetitions, the effect may sometimes last slightly longer. It is important to note that this is a subtle treatment – the mouth corners receive a slight lift, but the effect is not permanent.

  • Yes, absolutely! Fillers in the corners of the mouth are often combined with filling the jawline, cheekbones, or cheeks for optimal results. The treatment can also be part of a liquid facelift. Your doctor will advise you during the consultation on the best approach for your situation.

  • A botox treatment for downturned mouth corners costs €210. In combination with another area, you pay €105 for the second treatment.

  • Botox for downturned mouth corners does not work immediately. You will start to notice the effect after 3-5 days, as the muscle that pulls the mouth corners down gradually relaxes. The maximum effect is visible after 1-2 weeks. At that point, the mouth corners are slightly lifted, and the grumpy expression is reduced. So, the effect develops gradually: you won't see results immediately after the treatment, but you will within 2 weeks.
