Drooping corners of the mouth
Drooping corners of the mouth can make you look sad or angry, even when you're feeling well. This is often due to skin aging and loss of volume in the face, which causes the corners of the mouth to droop. Changes in the teeth and jawbone also play a role in the development of afhan
What are the causes of drooping corners of the mouth
Drooping corners of the mouth caused by several factors, mainly due to the aging process. In addition to loss of volume and a decrease in skin elasticity, changes in your teeth and jaw structure can have a significant impact.
Skin aging: As you age, the production of collagen and elastin in your skin decreases. These are the proteins that keep the skin firm and resilient. Without sufficient support, the skin hangs at the corners of the mouth, contributing to the tired appearance.
Decreased dental and jaw support: Aging can change the structure of your teeth and jaw. Teeth wear out, shift or become shorter, which means less support for the corners of the mouth. The jawbone can also decrease in volume, leading to a loss of firmness in the lower part of the face. This process reinforces downward pressure on the corners of the mouth.
Fat shift: In a young face, the fat compartments are evenly distributed. Over the years, the fat moves to the lower parts of the face, leading to sagging skin and less volume around the mouth.

With advanced skin therapies, we stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin around the mouth firmer and smoother.

Beautiful and natural
As I got older, my lips became thinner and lines appeared. With laser and filler treatments, I feel fresher again. My lips are fuller and the lines are reduced.
