Drooping mouth corners

Drooping mouth corners are a problem associated with the natural aging process of the skin. As a result of loss of firmness and adequate hydration, lips lose their volume, change color, and shape. Drooping mouth corners make the face appear older than it really is.

Loss of freshness and elasticity of the skin for some people, especially women, can be a serious aesthetic defect. Fortunately, with the use of appropriate anti-aging therapies and treatments to stimulate collagen production in the dermis, it is possible to effectively halt or even reverse the skin aging process. In Zakrzewscy Clinic we offer a number of modern methods to restore firmness and elasticity of the skin lip contour.

Why the mouth corners droop with age

After reaching 30 years of age, unfavorable processes for the appearance of our skin begin in the dermis. Reduction of subcutaneous fat, as well as decrease in the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid cause the skin to gradually lose its firmness and elasticity. Flabby skin on the cheeks and lip contour causes the mouth corners to droop and the entire oval of the face to fall. This process worsens over the years.

Factors such as skin exposure to UV radiation, air pollution, cigarette smoke, poor diet and excessive alcohol consumption also have a significant impact on the rate of collagen and hyaluronic acid loss in the skin. In addition, rapid flabby of facial skin can also occur in people who have lost a lot of weight quickly.

How to improve the firmness of drooping mouth corners

To improve the tone of drooping mouth corners, non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments are used to correct hyaluronic acid deficiencies in the skin and stimulate cells to produce more collagen. This is usually accomplished with subcutaneous injections of hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin, which are effective and safe when performed by an experienced aesthetic physician.

The procedure of improving the firmness of drooping mouth corners is sometimes combined with deeply revitalizing skin treatments such as dermabrasion, chemical peelings or laser skin resurfacing.

Most people can safely undergo treatments to improve the firmness and tone of the skin lip contour. However, pregnancy, skin infections, and certain medications are contraindications for invasive treatments. It is advisable to consult a medical aesthetician prior to any procedure that will penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.
