Lift the Corners of the Mouth – For a Smile That Lasts

Drooping corners of the mouth can quickly make your face appear tired, stern, or sad – even if you feel completely different inside. In everyday life, people often ask if you’re in a bad mood. Or you unconsciously avoid smiling because your expression “doesn’t suit you”.

However, precisely this can be gently changed with a targeted treatment at BONITAS: Your corners of the mouth are lifted, your face appears open and friendly again – and you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

Why Do the Corners of the Mouth Droop Over Time?

With increasing age, the lower part of the face changes significantly:

  • The depressor anguli oris muscle permanently pulls the corners of the mouth downwards
  • The natural fat content decreases
  • The skin loses elasticity & volume
  • Facial expressions “tend to adopt” negative expressions more quickly

The result: A permanently grumpy or sad facial expression that doesn’t reflect your inner self – and can also influence your self-image over time.

Lifting Methods: Botox®, Hyaluronic Acid, or Both?

Botox® – Relaxation of the “Mouth Corner Depressor Muscle”

  • Goal: The muscle that pulls the corner of the mouth downwards is inhibited
  • Result: The antagonist (smiling muscles) regains the upper hand
  • Effect: after approx. 3–5 days
  • Duration: 4–6 months
  • Ideal for: pronounced facial expressions

Hyaluronic Acid – Volume & Structure

  • Goal: Gentle filling of the volume deficit around the corner of the mouth
  • Result: Corners of the mouth appear visually lifted & harmonized
  • Immediate effect, Duration: 6–12 months
  • Ideal for: structural laxity

Combination of Both Methods

Often, the best effect is a combination: Botox provides muscle relaxation, Hyaluronic Acid for aesthetic correction. We will advise you on this honestly, individually, & with medical expertise.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How Can You Lift the Corners of the Mouth?

Lifting the corners of the mouth is usually achieved through targeted injections with botulinum toxin. Hyaluronic Acid can gently plump up the tissue and smooth out wrinkles, while Botox® reduces the pull of the downward-pulling muscles. Both procedures can be combined and lead to a friendlier, more relaxed facial expression – without overcorrection.

What Does Lifting the Corners of the Mouth Cost?

The cost for a corner of the mouth lift depends on the chosen technique (Hyaluronic Acid, Botox®, or combination), the material used, and the treatment effort. At BONITAS, you receive transparent information and an individual cost estimate during a personal consultation. Quality and experience are crucial for a harmonious result – not the price alone.

Is Lifting the Corners of the Mouth Painful?

No – the treatment is performed with very fine needles or blunt cannulas. Most patients only feel a slight pressure. If desired, a local anesthetic cream can be used. The procedure is generally very well tolerated and takes only a few minutes – with no downtime.

Will My Smile Remain Natural after Lifting the Corners of the Mouth?

Yes – with correct dosage and placement, your facial expressions remain completely natural. The goal is not a mask-like effect, but a subtle harmonization. At BONITAS, we pay special attention to a result that preserves your facial expression while making you look noticeably fresher.

When Will the Results of the Corner of the Mouth Lift be Visible?

The effect of Hyaluronic Acid is immediately visible – slight asymmetries or drooping corners of the mouth immediately appear more balanced. With Botox®, the effect becomes apparent after about 3 to 5 days, with full effect after around 10 days. A particularly gentle but effective smoothing can be achieved when combined.

How Can You Permanently Lift the Corners of the Mouth?

A permanent lift of the corners of the mouth usually requires regular touch-ups with Hyaluronic Acid and/or Botox® at intervals of approximately 6–12 months. In selected cases, a surgical procedure may also be advisable – e.g., a targeted lip lift. We will clarify which method is suitable for you during an individual consultation at BONITAS.
