The best filler for the corners of the mouth really depends on your mouth and your skin. If you have thin skin, a thinner filler, such as Restylane, Restylane Silk or Volbella work best. These fillers provide lift using just a very thin fine amount and they can also fill some of the little edged lines.
If the corners of your mouth turn down or droop, fillers can help add to support and structure to uplift the mouth and restore your smile back to its natural position. Think of it as the filler acting as invisible scaffolding supporting and lifting the corners of your mouth!
Botox is useful for relaxing the muscles that pull down the corners of the mouth, while dermal fillers are the “go-to” treatment for erasing marionette lines because they are more effective in adding volume to the lower parts of the face. Doctors may also recommend combining both treatments to achieve the best results.
Lip fillers aren't permanent. They slowly wear away over time, usually 12 to 18 months after you get them, depending on your metabolism. You may need routine touch-up treatments to maintain your desired volume.
The effects of the fillers will wear off after months or years, but the treated area is likely to return to its original state. The benefits of both Botox and fillers will be gone and you'll notice that those lines and volume loss will come back.
The generally accepted standard is to inject 1ml of lip filler every 6 months, however we recommend infrequent filling of the lips, and to use only small amounts with each session.
A downturned mouth can be treated with muscle relaxing injections. The injections stop the DAO (depressor anguli oris) muscle pulling down the corners of the mouth. Treatment will cause the corners of the mouth to be slightly lifted, giving the mouth a more relaxed, happy, youthful and pleasing appearance.
Putting Botox into the muscle area that is pulling down relaxes the strong muscle and the corners of the mouth can go up. Botox is safe and effective for relaxing muscles that can be hyperactive. Botox is also given far more for medical reasons than cosmetic Botox.
Dermal fillers can fill fine lines and wrinkles around the lips and add volume to deeper folds, such as smile lines (also called nasolabial folds) and marionette lines. Dermal fillers are also commonly used for mid-face or cheek filler.
Bellafill® is a dermal filler that replaces lost volume in the skin for correction that is both immediate and longer-lasting than other types of fillers.

A corner lip lift is a relatively simple cosmetic procedure that lifts the corners of the mouth for a more youthful appearance and happier expression. Although it's simple, the change in appearance is significant.
During a Lip Lift Edge Filler treatment, the product will be injected into the outermost corners of the patient's lips at an upward angle. This will cause the corners of the lips to remain pointed upwards, leaving patients at all times with a semi-permanent smile.
Botox injections can be utilised to relax muscles around the mouth, preventing them from contracting and dragging the lip corners downwards, whilst filler provides structural support to the lower face, helping to lift and rejuvenate the area.
Botox for downturned mouth treatment
Botox injections may be appropriate for people whose mouth corners naturally drawdown at rest. This can also happen in younger patients with overactive Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) muscles. If you want to address this, Botox can work wonders.
But what causes them? Sagging skin on the mouth corners is caused by a set of muscles in the jaw called depressor anguli oris (DAO). These muscles run from the corners of the lips down to the chin and can create a tired and aged appearance for most.
BOTOX is an effective and safe treatment for down-turned corners of the mouth. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the area, allowing them to become more pliable. This helps lift and smooth out wrinkles in the lower face, giving a refreshed and relaxed appearance.
So how much filler is used in marionette lines? Typically, 0.5ml to 1ml of filler for each side of the face.

The filler can take several weeks to soften and settle into your skin. This means that patients won't see the ultimate results of their treatment immediately. Although individual results will vary, many people achieve the full effect within two weeks after receiving their injections.
The FDA has warned against getting filler injected into the breasts, buttocks, or spaces between the muscles. Using injectable filler for large-scale body contouring or body enhancement can lead to serious injury, including long-term pain, infection, permanent scarring or disfigurement, and even death.
Fillers are a great option for patients seeking a softer, more youthful look. However, if used improperly or over used, fillers can have negative long term consequences. In fact, patients who do not properly use filler could actually speed up their skin's aging process, resulting in older looking skin.
