What can help?
In younger patients with stronger depressor muscles, injectable muscle relaxants such as Botox® are excellent at correcting a downturned mouth. In more mature patients, however, a comprehensive approach to restoring lost facial volume is often required to achieve a naturally rested appearance, and eliminate a downturned mouth.

COMMON
QUESTIONS
Dermal fillers also do not necessitate anaesthetic; however they do contain a local anaesthetic known as lidocaine. This helps to reduce discomfort, while topical numbing cream can also help if the patient is anxious.
Dermal fillers work by replacing the volume lost from areas of the face, such as the chin and cheeks – and by restoring the patient’s natural scaffolding we can support the mouth and prevent drooping at the corners. The results of the dermal filler typically last 12 – 18 months.
Dermal fillers can cause slight swelling, and post-procedure, the area will feel sore – though this has normally settled by the next day. If bruising occurs, it can be covered with post-procedure makeup – this should also not be applied until the following day. In addition, we encourage patients to sleep with their head elevated for the first few nights following the procedure, to keep any swelling to a minimum.
Dermal fillers are instantly gratifying and results can be seen immediately (though the best results are to be seen in two weeks’ time, when the filler has fully integrated with the tissues).
