What is the Best Facial Procedure to Address the Drooping Corners of the Mouth?
It looks like I am sad and frowning due to my mouth corners falling down. I have tried injectables and fat transfer with little success. Would a mid facelift or cheek lift address this?
Drooping corners of the mouth
Thanks for your question. We perform facelift procedures frequently in our San Francisco area office. Usually a combination of short scar mid-facelift and possible fat grafting would make the most substantial change. Skin laxity and dropping of facial fat pads is likely contributing to the overall look and these issues can be well addressed with a facelift. I hope this helps
Facial fat transfer (autologous fat grafting) uses the patient’s own fat, harvested via liposuction, to restore volume lost through aging. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, temples, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, and jawline. Approximately 60–80% of transferred fat typically survives long-term.
Patient safety protocols, including operating in accredited facilities with board-certified anesthesiologists, significantly reduce surgical risk.
