Drooping corners of the mouth caused by several factors, mainly due to the aging process. In addition to loss of volume and a decrease in skin elasticity, changes in your teeth and jaw structure can have a significant impact.
Skin aging: As you age, the production of collagen and elastin in your skin decreases. These are the proteins that keep the skin firm and resilient. Without sufficient support, the skin hangs at the corners of the mouth, contributing to the tired appearance.
Decreased dental and jaw support: Aging can change the structure of your teeth and jaw. Teeth wear out, shift or become shorter, which means less support for the corners of the mouth. The jawbone can also decrease in volume, leading to a loss of firmness in the lower part of the face. This process reinforces downward pressure on the corners of the mouth.
Fat shift: In a young face, the fat compartments are evenly distributed. Over the years, the fat moves to the lower parts of the face, leading to sagging skin and less volume around the mouth.
Tackling drooping corners of the mouth ensures that your appearance becomes fresher and friendlier. This can increase your self-confidence enormously. At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we treat the cause of the problem with a combination of:
Our treatments are tailored to your specific situation. At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we strive for natural results that suit your face without looking “overdone”.
At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we opt for a personalized approach. Depending on your specific situation, we combine different techniques to achieve the best result:
Fillers:
Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume around the corners of the mouth, lifting the skin. This treatment immediately gives a fresher look and can also provide structural support to the surrounding skin and tissues.
Botox:
Botox relaxes the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down. This reduces downward pressure and provides a subtle lift without affecting the natural movement of your mouth.
Skin tightening through skin therapy:
With advanced skin therapies, we stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin around the mouth firmer and smoother.
A treatment for drooping corners of the mouth is quick, effective and almost painless.
Local vs. Holistic Treatment
Drooping mouth corners are caused by multiple factors, such as volume loss, skin laxity, and changes in the bone and dental structures. A local treatment focuses directly on the mouth corners and provides a quick solution, while a holistic approach balances the entire facial area and addresses the underlying causes.
Below, we outline the pros and cons of both treatment options.
At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we focus on subtle, natural results. Whether it's restoring volume loss or relaxing muscles, we'll make sure your appearance stays friendly and fresh without people noticing you've had a treatment. Our treatments are adapted to your facial structure and needs, with a focus on safety and precision.
