Treatment of the corners of the mouth with Botox is
Treating the corners of the mouth with Botox is one of the tried and tested ways to visually lighten a facial expression that is perceived as sad or unfriendly. By precisely injecting as little botulinum as possible, we can relax overactive muscles that may be responsible for pulling down the corners of the mouth. In this way, a harmonious, fresher and more positive overall appearance can often be favoured within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers to the most important questions about our treatments.
Average response time: 1h
In order for Botox to visually favour the corners of the mouth, we use the treatment to specifically relax the DAO muscle (depressor anguli oris), which pulls the corner of the mouth downwards. As a result, the corners of the mouth can rise again slightly, which often makes the face look friendlier.
The treatment is considered to be very well tolerated as we use very fine needles for the injection. As a rule, you will only feel a slight prick.
The actual injection treatment usually only takes a few minutes.
Experience has shown that the effects of Botox for the corners of the mouth can be seen after just a few days and then take around two weeks to fully develop.
The effect can last for an average of three to five months. As soon as the muscle activity increases again and the corners of the mouth lower again, the treatment can be repeated.
The treatment costs depend on the individual muscle activity and the resulting dosage (according to GOÄ). We will of course advise you transparently and explain all price-relevant factors to you in advance.
Yes, after treatment you are usually able to socialise and work again immediately. There is usually no downtime. If the injections cause minimal redness, this can be easily concealed with a little make-up.
Yes, treatment of the corners of the mouth with Botox can be combined well with complementary methods, such as skin smoothing or volume optimisation. We will be happy to advise you individually on which combination makes sense for your goal.
The effect of a sagging mouth area
We can automatically associate a negative mood with drooping corners of the mouth, such as listlessness, worry or sadness.
Drooping corners of the mouth and wrinkles on the lips can make you look tired or exhausted to the other person, even if you actually feel good.
The permanent tension caused by drooping corners of the mouth can cause fine lines around the mouth to become more visible wrinkles over time.
When the mouth does not reflect the mood
A facial expression that is perceived as unfriendly or exhausted can lead to misunderstandings in everyday life, for example in customer contact.
Overactive muscles tend to constantly pull the corners of the mouth downwards. Even with active muscle relaxation, it is often difficult to counteract this.
Over time, deeper lines can develop, such as the classic wrinkles at the corners of the mouth. Preventive treatment can help to counteract them.
We strive for targeted muscle relaxation
Targeted injections at the corner of the mouth can relax the downward pull and often achieve a promptly visible effect.
The corners of your mouth can lift slightly again, making your face appear more open, relaxed and harmonious.
Our aim is a subtle change. That's why we use dosages that are designed to preserve your facial expressions and individuality.

The art of successfully applying Botox to the corners of the mouth lies in the exact placement - often supported by ultrasound - and the appropriate dosage.

In our Medical Contour practice, we do not look at your mouth area in isolation. On request, Botox for the corners of the mouth can be optimally combined with other aesthetic measures to support a harmonious overall result. Depending on the initial situation, additional treatments such as a Skinbooster or Chemical peeling can also be useful to improve the quality of the skin or to harmonise neighbouring muscles. We would also be happy to advise you on additional wrinkle treatments, for example Botox for wrinkles around the eyes (before or after) or minimally invasive methods such as the Thread lifting. In a personal meeting, we will show you transparently and clearly what options we offer.
