Corners of the mouth

Downward pointing corners of the mouth can give the face a gloomy, tired or stern appearance even when you feel fine. At Xavier Clinics we treat drooping corners of the mouth in a subtle and safe wayusing botulinum toxin.

With a precisely placed injection we relax the muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth down. This creates a softer, friendlier and fresher appearance, without losing your facial expressions.

Why do the corners of the mouth droop?

Drooping corners of the mouth are usually caused by:

  • Overactivity of the muscle that pulls down the corners of the mouth

  • Skin aging and volume loss

  • Loss of collagen and elasticity

  • Genetic predisposition

In some cases, a combination treatment (for example, with fillers) is more effective. During the consultation, we will assess what is best for you.

Consultation with the doctor

Before all treatments, a consultation is scheduled. During this consultation, the doctor will listen to your wishes and explore the options available to achieve them. The doctor will thoroughly inform you about the pre- and aftercare, the expected results, any risks, and the recovery process for the chosen treatment.

The treatment

Once you've chosen to undergo treatment with us, we'll ask you to complete a medical questionnaire and sign a treatment agreement beforehand. If you take a lot of medication, please bring your medication list to your appointment.

Photos will be taken of you both before and after the treatment for your medical records. In some cases, the skin is locally anesthetized with a numbing cream or anesthetic solution before the treatment.

Aftercare

After the treatment, you will receive an aftercare form by email. You do not need to stay at the clinic and can go home immediately. It is common for the skin to be red and swollen after the treatment, and sometimes some bruising may occur. These side effects will disappear on their own. It is important that you cool the treated area well with the cool pack you received, if advised. If you experience severe bruising, we recommend applying Arnica cream to the treated area.

It is recommended that you avoid applying makeup to the treated areas for the first four hours after treatment. Exposure to intense heat (sun, sauna, or tanning bed) is also discouraged for one week after treatment. We advise against having a facial for two weeks after treatment. You can assess the final result after two weeks.

If you have any questions about your recovery, please feel free to contact us.

Risks

The risk of complications is very small. As with any procedure, there is a small risk of infection or allergy.
