A Drooping Corner of the Mouth That Makes You Look Angry Even Without an Expression? 🥹 Let’s Watch Forena Clinic in Hongdae Together Through Video!

Today is the second Q&A session from our precious subscriber

You mentioned through a YouTube comment that your mouth corners droop a lot compared to most people,

and asked whether getting corner-of-the-mouth Botox would make them look like smiling mouth corners... You’re 23, so it’s not because of ageㅠ

That’s the question you left for us through the YouTube comments

Then let’s get right into it!

👇️Watch the video now👇️

Let’s quickly take a look at the concern today as well!

*The content in the video may vary depending on the individual’s condition and skin state.

Corner-of-the-mouth Botox is not a万能 injection that lifts the corners of the mouth!

💉 The basic principle itself is different

People often think that if they get corner-of-the-mouth Botox, the Botox drug will gently pull the mouth corners upward.

But once you know the real principle of Botox, you may think, “Huh? That’s different from what I thought!”

Botox does not have a “pulling” force!

First, you need to understand the basic principle of Botox.

Botox does not contract the muscle (pull it together),

but rather relaxes the muscle (releases tension).

To explain simply,

it is like slightly cutting or loosening the “rope (the depressor muscle)” that was tightly holding the mouth corners down from below.

Then the muscles that pull from above become relatively stronger,

and the mouth corners naturally appear to lift upward!

Corner-of-the-mouth Botox is not a “lifting” procedure that forcibly raises the mouth,

but a procedure that quiets the muscles that interfere by pulling the mouth downward.

First, smile a lot!

☺️ Getting into the habit of a natural smile can help?!

Smiling can help with drooping mouth corners

Not only can it have a temporary effect, but if your usual expression naturally includes a smile,

your mouth corners may look as though they have lifted compared to before.

Also, most people with this concern

often hear others ask whether they are angry when they have a neutral expression,

or say that they look cold and are hard to approach.

So in situations like this, a smile can be an even bigger help!

In this case, lip filler may be recommended instead of Botox?

💋 Why might “corner-of-the-mouth filler” be more recommended?

If Botox plays the role of “removing the obstacle,”

filler plays the role of “filling in missing areas to shape the form.”

That is because filler is a form of “direct correction” that designs the mouth shape itself.

In particular, it may be more recommended for the following reasons.

1. Drooping mouth corners even when the face is at rest

Botox controls muscle movement, so its effects usually appear when “smiling” or “making an expression.”

But for people whose mouth shape droops even when they are resting, filler is recommended.

That’s because it adds volume to the drooping area and physically creates an angle that makes the mouth corners appear lifted.

2. The visual illusion created by “volume”

If the outer ends of the lips (the lower part of the mouth corners) are sunken in deeply,

the mouth can look more downcast.

At this time, if filler is used to restore volume in that area,

a shadow effect can form that makes the lip ends look slightly curled upward.

Through this, added volume may create a softer impression!

In fact, the most recommended method is to combine the two procedures.

If filler is used to create a nice shape (design), and Botox is used to block the force pulling downward (maintenance),

the duration of the procedure’s effects may become longer.

Well, today we looked at the second subscriber question.

If a new subscriber question comes up, we’ll be sure to cover it again!
