How to Lift Downturned Mouth Corners Non-Surgically

- The downward positioning of the corners of the mouth can create a facial expression that appears sad or angry, regardless of one's true emotional state. This drooping effect often arises from marionette lines, which are vertical creases that extend from the mouth corners towards the chin.
Over time they can deepen, resembling a puppet's mouth and exacerbating the appearance of jowls. Consequently, it is essential to understand the causes of drooping mouth corners and explore non-surgical treatment options.
Various factors contribute to the occurrence of drooping mouth corners:
Gravitational changes: As we age, the effects of gravity can affect facial features, including the corners of the mouth, causing them to droop.
Loss of cheek volume: The diminishing volume in the cheeks can lead to a loss of support for the mouth corners, resulting in their downward displacement.
Repetitive facial muscle expressions and jaw bone shrinkage: Frequent muscle movements, such as frowning, combined with the shrinking of the jaw bones, can contribute to the development of drooping mouth corners.
The ageing process leads to the depletion of collagen and elastin in the skin and underlying tissues, causing a reduction in volume, strength, and structural integrity. Consequently, the structures that previously maintained the elevation of the mouth corners and the surrounding skin weaken, leading to sinking and sagging.
One specific cause of mouth downturn is the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles situated on the jaw. These muscles extend from the mouth corners to the chin and tend to strengthen with age. When these muscles are overused, typically through repetitive frowning, they can contribute to the downward displacement of the mouth corners.
There are many ways we can treat drooping mouth corners, from anti-wrinkle injections and fillers to RF microneedling and ultrasound.

A video about before and after procedures would be good.
Beautifully explained
I would love to try injectable’s but there very expensive I wish I could afford it I would do it immediately
This was useful. Thank you.
Loved this video ,🎉 😊 ❤ xx
Glad you liked it!! x
If one sided, can it be nerve damage from dental injection?
Ummm…how about facial exercises?
Doesn’t work
@@sandradjurovic6887. Sooo many people swear by it. I can’t be bothered 😂😂
@sandradjurovic6887 it does if you do the right ones
Very useful
I have serious Marinette lines. I'm 62. Should I get a mini face-lift? Or continue with fillers/ botox.? Thank you.
I just looked into this. A lower face lift starts at 10k in my area. Fillers for me was about 6k. Both very expensive.
Want to try fillers but how to pick the right practitioner? Derm? Aesthetician assoc w plastic surgeon? Spa aesthetician who's popular on Yelp? No friends to ask for refs. TY.
Dr Sam Lam of Lam Facial Plastics appears "right" based on his awards, training, endorsements, and pubs. Yes?

Not spa technician or lash artists
🙏🙏🙏✨
deceptive title......given that you are a doctor, you are working on more clients : ( nothing wrong with that but doing it deceitfully is not going to bring you the results you are looking for.
How is it deceptive? Injections are considered non surgical treatments. It's notnher fault that you're not educated about that
I lost 8 stone in 6 months due to a lump on my thyroid. I looked so much older and deep wrinkles appeared out of nowhere! I only use nivia q10 but ive put 2 stone back on since the op in jan and the wrinkles have softened. Dont thonk its the q1o.nivia.
Yeah.turned off soon as i saw that it was an injection. Not scared of needles but no chemicals thanks. I assume its chemicles?probably wrong.
Usually it's done by fillers using hyaluronic acid which is something that is naturally existing in your body already and if you don't like the result, it does get metabolized - at least the big majority of it and can also be deflated by another injection if you'd REALLY want to get rid of it all.
But really it's ridiculous to talk about not wanting "chemicals" as your entire body is made of "chemicals" 😂
Smiling is an instant face lift.
I would suggest for your videos, speaking faster, having diagrams and images and examples of the technology, or at least clips
I hate the idea of injecting anything into my face! We have many muscles in the face just like our body we can exercise those muscles daily! Instead of pushing injectibles how about suggesting various facial exercises.
Your title said non-surgical - injectibles are invasive. I had hoped that you were going to recommend exercising muscles. Your interest is to sell injectibles!
Thanks You for your comment, I don't regret nota seen they video.
It is considered non surgeical even while it is invasive. There is a difference. If you're not interested that's your thing but the title is correct.
Injectables are considered non-surgical procedures here in the UK. Unfortunately, there is no clinical data to support the claims that facial exercises help with skin tightening and lifting so this is not something I would recommend. Facial ageing is complex and there is a lot we must consider, including fat loss, bone resorption, and skin laxity.
Don’t inject anything then no one is forcing you. Carry on with your exercises. There is only so far facial exercises work if at all. They certainly don’t work for relaxing strong muscle’s depressor muscles
Im late to the ball but what a self contradictory statement.
A little disappointed by this one. I already know that I kinda have rbf (more like resting sad face, really) and always had it, but you where only talking about downturned mouth corners due to age. So that doesn't seem too helpful for your younger viewers.
And if tense muscles below the mouth pull the area down, couldn't you just train the muscles that pull in the opposite direction? In the comments you said, there are no studies that support that this would work, but as someone with knowledge about facial muscles, you could perhaps explain, if it at least makes sense, theoretically.
I’m in the same boat as you, I’ve researched everything I possibly could and I just can’t find a solution for my problem. People don’t understand what it’s like for everyone to always think your miserable or just a bitch, especially when you’re younger.
It’s caused from depression, prolong sadness & frowning. Not using the “smile” muscles
