Non-surgical treatment options include injections of dermal fillers and botulinum toxin type-A (BoNT-A). Whether injected into the lips or part of a larger rejuvenation of the lower face (cheeks, nasolabial folds, jaw), filler can lift and shape the area by adding volume.

Lip ptosis (a.k.a. lip drooping) most often impacts the lower lip and is caused by aging, trauma, previous cosmetic procedures, or certain medical conditions. Fortunately, there are a myriad of invasive and non-invasive cosmetic procedures to correct lip ptosis and restore your desired aesthetic and function.
A nonsurgical lip lift, also known as our MM Lip Lift, is a minimally invasive alternative to a surgical lip lift. Filler will add volume to the skin below the nose and above the red lip allowing more red lip to show, turning a small portion of the red lip upward.
Your healthcare provider injects botulinum toxin into the corners of your mouth (oral commissures) and the edges of your lips (vermillion border). The botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles around your upper lip, which makes your lip “flip” upward a tiny bit (eversion) and appear larger than normal.
Tightly press your lips around a tongue depressor while someone tries to remove it, for 5 seconds. Relax and then repeat 5 times. Fill your cheeks with air and move the air from one cheek to the other 5 times, with no air escaping from the lips or nose. Relax and then repeat 5 times.
The levator labii superioris muscle, also known as the quadratus labii, contributes to facial expression and movement of the mouth and upper lip. It courses alongside the lateral aspect of the nose, and its primary function is elevation of the upper lip.
Frowning lips usually are a result of age, due to a loss of volume in our cheeks and elasticity in our skin. This means that the skin around our mouth loses the support it once had, and the outside corners of our lips turn down resulting in frowning lips.
Hydrate with hyaluronic acid
According to dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross, hydration hero sodium hyaluronate is one of the best ways to fill out fine lines in your lips, helping them to look plumper in an instant. “Derived from hyaluronic acid, this powerful humectant holds 1000 times its weight in water,” he explains.
Hyaluronic acid, or HA, naturally occurs in the body and not only attracts moisture (and volume) to the lips but also stimulates the lips' own ability to produce more collagen. This means you get immediate, natural-looking results and you also see a gradual improvement in your lip area as collagen increases. Dr.
Hyaluronic acid is a hydrating substance that is naturally found in skin, connective tissue, and elsewhere in our bodies. It has the ability to hold a thousand times its weight in water, which makes it an ideal ingredient for skin-care products that aim to moisturize and plump the skin.
As individuals age, distinct anatomical changes of the bone and soft tissue result in the development of rhytids in the perioral region. Most notably, the oral commissures turn downward, creating the appearance of a perpetual frown and adding years to the facial appearance.
Fortunately, there is a safe and non-surgical solution to this common aesthetic concern– Botox. When injected into the Depressor Anguli Oris muscle, Botox lifts the corners of the mouth for a more neutral and pleasing “resting expression.”
A downturned mouth can be treated with muscle relaxing injections. The injections stop the DAO (depressor anguli oris) muscle pulling down the corners of the mouth. Treatment will cause the corners of the mouth to be slightly lifted, giving the mouth a more relaxed, happy, youthful and pleasing appearance.
Answer: Lip fillers
Yes, fillers can help manage facial asymmetry, including asymmetry of the lips. A small amount of soft filler on each side of your upper lip will make them look fuller without changing the over all shape of your mouth.
Usually 1/2 - 1 syringe per side. The amount of filler needed to lift the corners of your mouth depends on your overall facial structure and the amount of hollowing. It also depends on what the skin in the surrounding areas looks like: everything needs to be balanced.
As you age, your lips lose their plumpness and tone, gradually resulting in volume loss. This can be treated with hyaluronic acid fillers that restore the volume to your lips and bring back their youthful pout.
Niacin or Vitamin B3
