Mouth Corners Lift: The Difference Between Fillers and Botox

What is Botox for Mouth Corners?

Botox for mouth corners works by relaxing the muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth downward (depressor anguli oris), lifting the mouth corners naturally. This treatment is ideal for individuals whose mouth corners appear straight or downturned when neutral, giving off an impression of sadness or anger, or those who desire a more cheerful, smiling appearance. When combined with dermal fillers, the lifting effect is enhanced, and results gradually appear within a week. The effects typically last for about three months.

Difference Between Fillers and Botox for Lifting the Corners of the Mouth

When it comes to lifting the corners of the mouth, both dermal fillers and Botox offer effective solutions, but they work in different ways. Understanding their differences can help you choose the right treatment for your needs.

1. Fillers (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid)

• Purpose: Fillers are used primarily to add volume. By injecting dermal fillers into the corners of the mouth, they restore lost volume, giving the appearance of a naturally lifted mouth.
• How it Works: Fillers like hyaluronic acid are injected beneath the skin to plump up areas where volume is lacking. This helps lift the corners of the mouth and improves sagging skin, giving a youthful appearance.
• Duration: The effects of dermal fillers typically last between 6 months to a year, after which the filler is gradually absorbed by the body.
• Ideal for: Individuals who have sagging mouth corners or volume loss around the lips will benefit most from fillers.

2. Botox (Botulinum Toxin)

• Purpose: Botox works by temporarily weakening the muscles responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth down, thereby lifting the corners and creating a more elevated appearance.
• How it Works: Botox is injected into the muscles around the mouth, specifically the depressor anguli oris (muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward). By reducing muscle movement, Botox allows the corners of the mouth to naturally lift.
• Duration: Botox results typically last 3 to 6 months, after which the effects wear off, and muscle movement gradually returns to normal.
• Ideal for: Botox is ideal for individuals whose mouth corners turn down when they smile or at rest, often due to muscle overactivity.

Key Takeaways

• Fillers add volume to the skin, lifting the corners of the mouth by restoring lost fullness.
• Botox works by relaxing the muscles around the mouth, offering a more subtle lift by inhibiting downward muscle movement.

Choosing the right treatment depends on your individual needs and desired results. For those seeking a natural-looking lift with minimal downtime, fillers and Botox can be used together for optimal results.

Are There Any Side Effects?

After the treatment, minor side effects like redness or swelling may occur. These symptoms usually subside naturally within a few hours to days and do not significantly interfere with daily life. However, for those with sensitive skin, these effects may last longer, so it’s important to follow pre- and post-treatment care guidelines.
