all about
downturned
mouth corners

what are downturned mouth corners?

Over time, the depressor anguli oris muscle (DAO) gradually pulls the corners of your mouth further down. At the same time, the cheeks and jawline lose volume and elasticity, which makes the effect even more noticeable.

causes and triggers

• natural skin ageing
• an overactive DAO muscle (pulls the mouth corner down)
• volume loss in the cheeks and chin area
• smoking, sun damage and weight loss
• hereditary anatomy of the jaw and chin

symptoms

• mouth corners pointing downwards at rest
• an angry or sad facial expression
• fine vertical lines next to the mouth (marionette lines)
• possibly shadows or small wrinkles around the chin

who is a mouth corner lift suitable for?

Would you like a softer, friendlier expression? This treatment is suitable for both men and women. Whether you’re younger or over 40 and noticing some volume loss, you’re very welcome.

treatment methods at uma clinic

mouth corner botox

A subtle dose of botulinum toxin relaxes the DAO muscle, the muscle that pulls the corners of your mouth down. This gives the opposing muscles more room to do their job, so the corners of your mouth lift slightly in a natural way.

fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers restore lost volume around the mouth and chin. By placing filler strategically, we soften marionette lines and give the lower face a softer, more balanced look.

polynucleotides or prf

These biostimulating treatments improve skin quality from within. They boost collagen production and elasticity, leaving your skin firmer and smoother. Polynucleotides and PRF are ideal for supporting the effect of fillers and improving the condition of the skin around the mouth in the long term.

combination treatment

For a natural, lasting result, we often combine botox, fillers and skin boosters. Botox relaxes the muscles, fillers restore volume and skin boosters improve skin quality. Together, they create a fresher, more relaxed look.

results you can expect

• botox: the first lift after 3 to 5 days, with the maximum effect within 2 weeks.
• fillers: an immediate, subtle volume correction, with the optimal result after 7 days.
• polynucleotides: smoother skin and extra firmness after 4 to 6 weeks.

before and aftercare

• avoid intensive exercise, sauna and massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours.
• no make-up or sauna on the first day.
• daily SPF protects your skin, so the results last longer.
