Treating a droopy mouth
If you’re worried that your mouth is assuming a rather droopy or sad look, this can be addressed by tightening the skin with dermal fillers and/or relaxing specific muscles around the mouth with toxin injections.
Certain medical conditions, such as Bell’s Palsy, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, Lyme disease, and facial trauma, can affect the drooping of the face around the mouth. It’s important to distinguish these conditions from normal ageing processes. If you have any doubts please talk to the team.
What Causes a Droopy Mouth?
Dr Sabika will advise you on the range of procedures that will give you the best results based on your individual concerns.
As we age, we lose the natural proteins in our skin that provide volume, structure, and elasticity. Under the pull of gravity, the skin sags, and the corners of the mouth may droop. Additionally, if you have a tendency to frown or ‘pull a face’ unconsciously, repetitive overuse of particular facial muscles can lead to a persistently drooping mouth. The depressor anguli oris muscle, also known as the facial DAO, is often the culprit.
Brands and Treatments for a droopy mouth
A combination of treatments can restore lost volume and lift the corners of your mouth. Results can last for several months or even up to a year. Anti-Wrinkle Toxins: Injected to help relax the muscles. Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid fillers support the corners of the mouth and lessen the appearance of marionette lines or the folds and creases that run down to the chin.
