Frowning Lips: Causes, treatment options, and maintenance

Frowning Lips

Overview

A frown is a unique facial expression that involves the action of many muscles used to convey a negative emotion across cultures and language barriers. A frown is supposed to be a temporary emotion but sometimes the corners of your mouth can droop down, causing you to frown even when relaxed. Fortunately, there are ways to help lift the corners of the mouth and bring back your happy face.

Contrary to popular belief, frowning lips are not caused by excessive frowning or being angry all the time. 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.

How we can reduce the appearance and formation of Frowning Lips

If you have noticed that your lips have started to turn down and cause you to frown or look sad, we can help restore your beautiful smile and get you looking and feeling like yourself again.

Neuromodulators can be used to relax the muscles and help lift and smooth the skin and dermal fillers can be used to fill in deeper lines and creases reducing the severity of the downturned corners of the mouth.

Treatments for Frowning Lips

During your consultation, we will evaluate the cause of the downturned corners of the mouth and whether neuromodulation and/or dermal fillers are necessary. This will help determine the number of neuromodulators units needed to achieve your desired smile.

An appropriate amount of neuromodulators will be injected into the muscle downward pulling the corners of lips, and dermal filler may be used to fill any deep lines and creases.

Popular Treatments for Frowning Lips

Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators such as Botox are substances that are injected into muscles in order to temporarily block the transmission of nerve impulses and prevent muscle contractions. This can lead to a reduction or complete elimination of muscle spasms. These medications are often used to treat conditions such as facial wrinkles, chronic migraines, and overactive bladder. The effects of neuromodulators may take a few days to fully take effect and can last for several months

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to add volume and fullness to the skin by increasing its natural supply of hyaluronic acid. They are injected into the skin to smooth wrinkles and lines, enhance facial contours, and restore volume to the face. The results of dermal fillers can last several months to a year, depending on the specific filler used and the patient.

Subtle Lip Filler

Dr. Frame cares about what you want and is one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen. I waited a couple years to leave this review to ensure it would be honest. I am so happy with the services at this clinic and would absolutely recommend it. Not a single negative experience yet and on many times my expectations have been exceeded. Thank you to the whole team!

Under-Eye Enhancement

I have been to a few clinics in Vancouver and this is by far the best one due to the comprehensive knowledge, experience and care of the staff and doctors. I felt so comfortable and welcome. Definitely the only place I will go to from now on!

Infini RF Microneedling

I have had a great experience at the Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic. I came in with concerns about my ongoing adult acne and the team really went above-and beyond in working out a treatment plan. One of the team members, Jocelyn, has really helped me with not only my treatments but also picking appropriate skincare products and tips for at-home care. I am super grateful for Jocelyn and the entire clinic for their care, and I am feeling confident in my skin for the first time in years.

Filler

I am so happy with the filler and neuromodulator treatments I received at the AntiAging clinic. I received a lovely natural result and I particularly like looking less tired. The consultation from Nadine Frame was excellent. She gave me all the options and is very skilled at knowing what kinds of treatments would be best for the look I want to achieve. Dr Gidon Frame is friendly and skilled. He is entertaining and relaxed while perfectly administering the treatment required. Thank you all of you at AntiAging for such a stress-free experience and lovely aesthetic outcome for my face.

Neuromodulators

Dr. Frame and Nadine are a dynamite duo. Together, they made my dreams come true with a combination of Neuromodulator and Filler. Both took their time to assess my face and to understand my ambition. I took a long time to consider the options after an initial consult (several months actually) and there was absolutely no pressure placed upon me. Dr. Frame has a less-is-more conservative approach leading to a natural yet elegant and impactful result. The pair truly have a cosmetic eye that is second to none. Thrilled with my result. Highly recommend.
