Botox for drooping mouth corners
Drooping mouth corners can give the face a tired or sad expression, often caused by skin aging and volume loss.
With Botox, we gently relax the muscles responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downward. This creates a subtle, natural lift, leaving your face looking fresher, more youthful, and relaxed.

What do drooping corners of the mouth do to the face?
The position of your mouth corners says more than you think, no one wants to look grumpy especially when you’re feeling confident and content. Unfortunately, downturned mouth corners are a natural part of aging and occur in both men and women. As the skin around the mouth becomes more fragile and loses volume, the corners of the mouth start to droop. This can lead to a permanently sad or angry expression, even if that doesn’t reflect how you truly feel. Luckily, this can be easily corrected with a Botox treatment that gently lifts the mouth corners, restoring a softer and more positive expression.

Drooping mouth corners are primarily caused by skin aging. As the skin around the mouth loses elasticity and volume, the corners naturally begin to sag.
This can result in a sad or angry appearance, even when you’re feeling fine. Fortunately, this can be effectively treated with Botox, helping restore a softer and more relaxed expression.
When you arrive at our clinic, we begin with a short consultation and take photos to compare your before-and-after results at a later stage. The Botox treatment then begins. Our goal is to gently bring the mouth corners back to a more horizontal position. Just a few tiny injections beneath the corners of the mouth can be enough to lift and support the area.
In some cases, dermal fillers may be a more suitable solution — for example, when volume loss is the primary cause. But don’t worry — during your free, no-obligation consultation, we’ll work with you to determine the treatment that best suits your facial structure and goals.
We recommend avoiding exercise and beauty treatments for the first few days after the procedure. Other than that, there is little to no downtime.
You may experience a small bruise at the injection site, but this can be easily covered with makeup if desired.
A mouth corner lift gives your face a fresh and friendly appearance. You’ll no longer look grumpy or sad — instead, you’ll radiate confidence and warmth, just like before.
Indien nodig volgt er na een botoxbehandeling, een gratis correctie of een touch-up van het behandelde gebied tijdens de controleafspraak na twee weken.
** Eerste behandeling altijd in combinatie met fillers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Drooping mouth corners can make your face look tired, sad, or even grumpy, even when you’re feeling perfectly fine. This can be caused by several factors:
-
Natural skin aging – A decrease in collagen and elastin leads to loss of firmness in the skin.
-
Overactive muscles – The muscles around the mouth pull the corners downward.
-
Volume loss – A reduction in fat and bone structure in the lower face can cause the corners to droop.
-
Genetic predisposition –Some people naturally have a lower mouth corner position.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward. This gives the lifting muscles in the face more freedom to subtly elevate the mouth corners.
The result is a more open and relaxed appearance, without altering your natural facial expression.
The treatment is quick and straightforward:
-
Our doctor will analyze your facial anatomy and determine the optimal injection points.
