How Mouth-corner botulinum toxin works
Regulating the contraction of muscles involved in pulling mouth corners downward
Several interacting muscles around the mouth support speech, smiling and eating. Both a resting frontal view and a smile are observed to distinguish muscular downward pull from skin sagging. If injections affect nearby muscles, an asymmetric smile or uncomfortable lip movement may occur.
Expected changes and suitable candidates
Assess the direction of mouth-corner descent and smile asymmetry; define an area that preserves speech and lip closure
An examination is appropriate if the corners of the mouth appear pulled downward. When skin sagging, bone structure or teeth play a major role, changes achievable through muscle regulation alone are limited.
We assess the gap between your current condition and desired changes, and discuss the treatment's scope and limitations. Individual responses can differ.
Number of sessions, intervals and duration
Changes in movement around the mouth develop over several days. Discomfort when drinking or speaking should be reviewed; avoid additional injections before the response stabilizes.
Planning before and after treatment
- Consultation: share your medical history, past treatments and important dates.
- Planning: confirm the treatment areas, products or devices and recovery plan.
- Follow-up: follow the aftercare instructions and contact a medical institution about unusual symptoms.
Possible side effects and precautions
Bruising, swelling, asymmetry, unwanted muscle weakness, or eyelid drooping may occur. Area-specific risks, such as chewing discomfort or dry mouth with jaw/salivary-gland treatment, must be checked. Seek immediate medical attention for breathing or swallowing abnormalities.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, inflammation at the treatment site, implanted devices and medication can affect suitability. A clinician should assess these according to the guidance for the particular product and device.
Mouth-corner botulinum toxin prices and costs
Final cost depends on the exact product or device, area, amount, number of sessions and any additional procedures. Check VAT inclusion and event eligibility conditions together.
