Can lip enhancement injections help turn my corners up?

The corners of my mouth look turned down, like I'm frowning or unhappy, when I am not showing any expression. Can lip injections help turn the corners of my mouth up?

Both dermal fillers and Botox can flatten the corners of your lip and get rid of the down-turned mouth.

Yes. This is an excellent use of fillers. It can certainly erase any frown lines. I think you will be very happy with the results.

We would not suggest that lip injections can help with the "mouth frown", but we use fillers to minimize the creases created at the corners of the mouth and Botox around the mouth to relax muscles that pull downward in this area. These two in combination help to minimize
the effects of a mouth frown. Choose an experienced practitioner as these techniques are more advanced.

Yes, Fillers can make the corners of your mouth turn up. You may want to try Botox first. With a very small amount and 3 tiny injections you may get the results you want without having to use fillers.

I had my lips done before once by a different doctor, and all went well afterwards a massage. I went to a new place and she put Restylane in but did not massage at all, and told me not to touch my lips. She then wanted to inject a small amount into the small circle on the center of the top lip under my cupid bow, and I let her. Shockingly, she injected it on the inner soft tissue of my top lip and it hurt, even though I was numb. It's been seven days and it still stings off and on and it is red.
