Downturned smile corners — sometimes called a "resting sad face" — occur when the depressor anguli oris muscles pull the corners of the mouth downward, creating a permanently unhappy or displeased expression. Our treatment uses carefully placed anti-wrinkle injections to relax these muscles, allowing the corners of the mouth to return to a neutral or slightly upturned position. The result is a more pleasant, approachable resting expression that better reflects how you actually feel. This subtle treatment makes a significant difference to overall facial appearance and is often combined with other lower face treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation.
