Mouth Corner Botox Treatment
Lift a tired looking smile and restore balance with expert care at Tinkable
If the corners of your mouth turn down when your face is at rest, it can make you look sad, stern or tired even when you feel fine.
Botox for downturned mouth corners gently relaxes the small muscles that pull the mouth downward, allowing the corners to sit in a softer, more neutral position. The result is a more open, positive resting expression, with your smile left completely natural.
Every treatment at Tinkable is carried out by an experienced medical practitioner, and your consultation is always free.
Why mouth corner treatment can make a real difference
The corners of your mouth are held in balance by opposing muscles, some lift, some pull down. The main downward puller is the depressor anguli oris (DAO), a small muscle running from the mouth corner to the jawline. When the DAO is overactive, it wins the tug-of-war, and the mouth settles into a downturned position at rest. This has nothing to do with mood, but it changes how others read your expression and how you feel about photos and mirrors.
A tiny, precisely placed dose of Botox relaxes the DAO so the lifting muscles can work freely again. The corners of the mouth settle into a softer, more neutral position, and your smile stays exactly as it was. The treatment targets the resting position, not your expression. You’ll usually notice the change developing within a few days, with the full result at one to two weeks.
One honest note: A downturned mouth isn’t always muscle driven. If volume loss with age has created folds running from the mouth corners down toward the chin (often called marionette lines), dermal filler may be more effective, either instead of or alongside Botox. Your practitioner will assess what’s actually causing the downturn and recommend the right approach, not just the treatment you arrived asking about.
