DOWNTURNED MOUTH & LOWER FACE

LEARN MORE ABOUT MOVEMENT AROUND THE MOUTH AND LOWER FACE

The position and appearance of the corners of the mouth vary naturally between individuals and can also change during facial expression.

​

Movement of several muscles contributes to this area, including muscles that can draw the corners of the mouth downward.

​

UNDERSTANDING LOWER-FACE MOVEMENT

The appearance of the mouth and surrounding area can be influenced by:

• Individual facial anatomy

• Facial expression

• Muscle movement

• Lip and chin proportions

• Skin quality

• Natural ageing

• Facial asymmetry

 

A naturally downturned mouth is not a medical problem and does not require treatment.

 

LOOKING BEYOND ONE MUSCLE

During consultation, I consider the relationship between the mouth, lips, chin and surrounding lower-face structures rather than assessing one muscle in isolation.

​

YOUR CONSULTATION

Your individual anatomy and facial movement are assessed alongside your medical history, concerns and goals.

Where appropriate, available management options, limitations, risks and alternatives can then be discussed.

​

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Cosmetic procedures are not suitable for everyone and carry risks and potential complications. Individual suitability, alternatives, limitations, expected recovery and relevant risks are discussed during consultation. Results and experiences vary between individuals. A consultation does not mean you are required to proceed with a procedure.
