Drooping corners of the mouth can make the face look grim, sad or expressionless. Many people feel uncomfortable with this and wish instead for an attractive, youthful smile. In a smile lift with Botox®, the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down are weakened, automatically lifting the corners of the mouth in this way. No complicated surgical procedure is required for this. A small amount of Botox®, injected into specific muscles around the mouth to relax them, is enough to lift the corners of the mouth.
Lifting the corners of the mouth – smile lift by Aesthetify
More and more people want a youthful and attractive smile – lifting the corners of the mouth (smile lift) is the right treatment for giving your smile a friendly expression. During a smile lift, Botox® is used to specifically weaken the muscle responsible for pulling down the corners of the mouth. This lifts the corners of the mouth, which in turn also reduces the mentolabial fold (marionette line). We help you subtly modify the shape of your lips and lift drooping corners of the mouth – for a warm, approachable smile.

Lifting the corners of the mouth with Botox® – in detail
-
-
The main cause of drooping corners of the mouth is increased muscle tone with age. The muscle is involuntarily tensed and pulls the corners of the mouth down. Botox® relaxes the muscles again, after which the corner of the mouth lifts. Other factors behind drooping corners of the mouth include the natural ageing process (over time, the skin loses elasticity, which can cause slacker facial features and drooping corners of the mouth), weight loss (sudden weight loss, or also being overweight, can contribute to the skin around the mouth becoming slack), stress (emotional strain can lead to increased tension in the facial muscles), muscle or nerve damage, and uneven use of the facial muscles, which can lead to a muscular imbalance and thus to a drooping corner of the mouth.

A small amount of Botox®, injected into specific muscles around the mouth to relax them, is enough to lift the corners of the mouth. Depending on how your body responds, the individually tailored injection lasts between three months and a year.

A smile lift with Botox® has several advantages over other cosmetic procedures: Fast and simple – the procedure is quick and simple to perform and generally does not require anaesthesia. Non-invasive – a smile lift with Botox® requires no surgical procedures to lift your smile. This means no incisions or sutures are needed. No downtime – our patients can return to their usual daily routine immediately after the procedure. Natural look – a smile lift with Botox® can achieve a more natural look than other cosmetic procedures, as it specifically relaxes certain muscles around the mouth. Boosts confidence – a radiant smile can boost your confidence and contribute to a positive self-image.

Drooping corners of the mouth do not always have the same cause. Botulinum toxin can be a good option when a muscle is actively pulling the corners of the mouth down. Hyaluronic acid tends to be more suitable when volume loss, marionette lines, or a lack of support in the area of the corners of the mouth play a role. For this reason, it is often decided individually whether Botox®, hyaluronic acid, or a combination of both methods best suits your particular case.

Frequently asked questions about the smile lift
How long does the result last after lifting the corners of the mouth?
The result of a Smile-Lift usually lasts for around three months up to a year. The actual duration depends on the strength and dosage of the Botox® and can vary according to individual metabolism. However, the treatment should be refreshed regularly to maintain the result.
How painful is the Smile-Lift?
A Smile-Lift is low-pain and the procedure is completed after just a few seconds. Only a slight burning sensation may occur during the injection to lift the corners of the mouth. Anaesthesia is not necessary in most cases.
Can you train the corners of the mouth upwards?
Yes, targeted exercises can train the corners of the mouth upwards. However, it can be difficult to achieve significant and lasting results through mouth-corner training alone. In such cases, a Smile-Lift with Botox® can offer a more effective and faster solution for lifting the corners of the mouth.
