Drooping corners of the mouth elevators
Drooping corners of the mouth, also known as marionette lines, are folds that occur between the corners of the mouth and the jawline. These can make a person look sad, angry or stern, even when it is not felt that way. On this page, read all about the causes of drooping corners of the mouth and treatment options with fillers (sometimes combined with botox).
Mouth corner elevators and any additional treatments
Corners of the mouth can be lifted with hyaluronic acid fillers and botox. Usually, hyaluronic acid fillers are the most appropriate. If the mouth corner muscle pulls the corner of the mouth down, it often makes sense to add a little botox as well. Sometimes we recommend additional treatments for a more harmonious result.

Drooping Corners of the Mouth: Botox or Fillers?
Liquid facelift
A liquid facelift restores volume and contour throughout the face, making the results around the mouth look even more natural and balanced.
Lip filling
With lip fillers, we can correct asymmetry and create more balance between the top and bottom of the face. In addition, any wrinkles around the mouth can be naturally filled, rejuvenating the area. This creates an even softer, youthful appearance.
Botox and or filler in the chin
Sometimes there is an overactive muscle in the chin, which can cause lines. It is also possible that skin aging has caused the skin of the chin to sag a bit and there is not enough tissue to keep the skin tight. By means of a small amount of filler in the chin, this space can be filled, so that the skin becomes tighter again and the chin falls less inward.

Fillers mouth corners: before and after
The results clearly show how wrinkles and folds around the mouth diminish and the appearance becomes friendlier and fresher.
The cause of drooping corners of the mouth
Hanging corners of the mouth occur due to natural skin aging as a result of loss of volume and elasticity. As we age:
- Weaken supporting connective tissue.
- Does the skin lose collagen and firmness.
- Gravity pulls down sagging skin.
This creates creases around the corners of the mouth, which can give a gloomy or tired appearance, even when a person is just feeling good.

Fillers around the mouth and corners of the mouth
This result was achieved with fillers at the corners of the mouth and chin area. That loss often creates deep lines, shadows and a tighter appearance.
By strategically restoring volume with an appropriate filler, marionette lines and folds are softened and the face regains a fresher, softer expression - without excessive padding or unnatural contours.
A subtle lip filler was also added.
