Dropped Mouth Corners or Sad Face
Subtle treatment to lift and balance the corners of the mouth.
Skin Care Area of Concern: Dropped Mouth Corners or Sad Face
Dropped mouth corners (sad face) is a common concern. We personalise every plan to lift this area and restore a more neutral or positive facial expression.
Dropped mouth corners can appear sad, tired, or dissatisfied even when you’re feeling relaxed or content. This concern can develop gradually as muscle activity pulls the corners of the mouth downward, or as volume and skin support in the lower face begin to decline.
At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, we offer gentle, personalised treatments to help lift and balance this area, supporting a softer, more harmonious expression.
Contributing Factors:
A number of structural and muscular changes can contribute to this concern.
Muscle Pull: Overactivity of the depressor anguli oris muscles pulls the corners of the mouth downward.
Volume Loss: A reduction in support tissue around the mouth and jaw contributes to downward pull.
Skin Laxity: As collagen declines, the skin loses firmness and lift.
Facial Asymmetry: Natural imbalances may become more visible with age.
Ageing: Changes in fat distribution and bone support affect mouth shape.
Genetics: Some individuals naturally have more downturned mouth corners.
Because this concern involves both muscle activity and structural changes, we take a holistic approach. During your consultation, we assess facial movement, skin support, and expression patterns to create a plan that gently lifts and rebalances the mouth area without looking overdone.
Treatment Approach
Our approach to dropped mouth corners includes softening the muscles responsible for downward pull and restoring structural support around the mouth. Treatments are carefully selected to improve symmetry and lift, always preserving your ability to express emotion naturally. Subtle volumising or hydration therapies may also be used to support the surrounding skin and enhance overall results.
