ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENTS
Lift Downward Mouth Corners Treatment with Anti-Wrinkle
If the corners of your mouth appear to turn down even when you feel perfectly happy, you’re not alone in noticing that mismatch. We’ll look at the way your lower face moves, as well as the support around the mouth, to understand what’s creating the appearance.
ABOUT THIS TREATMENT
What is our downward mouth corners treatment?
This anti-wrinkle treatment area focuses on the position of the corners of your lips. A muscle called the depressor anguli oris, or DAO, is involved in pulling them down. Changes in the surrounding tissue and the presence of marionette lines can also affect how the area looks.
We’ll look at your mouth both at rest and when you smile. That helps us explain whether your concern relates more to movement, nearby folds or a combination of factors.

WHAT IT HELPS
What can downward mouth corners treatment help with?
An appropriate approach may help if downward muscle movement is a main contributor. If changes in volume or support are more significant, we may discuss a different way of addressing the area. The aim is to understand the expression you’d like to keep as well as what you’d like to change. We’ll talk through the possibilities without assuming every downturned mouth corner needs the same approach.

FAQS
Common questions about downturned mouth corners
Why do the corners of my mouth look downturned?
It can be related to the way the muscles around your mouth move, changes in support as the face changes over time, or folds beside the mouth. Looking at your face at rest and in movement helps us identify what’s most relevant.
What does DAO stand for?
It stands for depressor anguli oris, one of the muscles that pulls the corners of the mouth downward. You don’t need to remember the name; we’ll explain how the area works in plain English when discussing your options.
Are downturned mouth corners the same as marionette lines?
They’re connected, but different. Downturned corners describe the position of the lips, while marionette lines are folds that can run down from beside the mouth. It’s possible to be concerned about one, the other or both.
Can I get DAO anti-wrinkle at Kiss Aesthetics?
If a prescription-only muscle-relaxing option is considered, an appropriate prescriber must assess whether it suits you. If the main issue is support or volume instead, we may discuss different options.
