Q. The corners of my lips are drooping and make me look older and dissatisfied. Do you know what I could do about it?
This is definitely not a one-size-fits-all solution, as many physical factors can contribute to drooping corners of the mouth, but a good doctor should consider lifting them with precisely calculated amounts of dermal filler.
“I apply it in a fan of small threads to the corners of the lower lip, to support them,” says aesthetic doctor Dr. Wassim Taktouk (drwassimtaktouk.com). “It acts as a scaffold, resulting in a brighter, more cheerful appearance.”
Beauty expert Inge Van Lotringen (pictured) asked aesthetic doctor Dr. Wassim Taktouk for advice on how to fix drooping corners of the mouth.
Dr. Wassim Taktouk admits that he would only use Teoxane Teosyal RHA fillers for this procedure. The brand also offers a range of skincare products (pictured).
But, he warns, a very specific type of filling is needed. ‘You have to be able to integrate perfectly and move naturally in this dynamic area. I would only use Teoxane Teosyal RHA fillers as they have this flexibility; the low density RHA 2 option is best in most cases.
Taktouk charmingly calls this “Resting Bitch Face Reversal” and can combine the treatment with toxin injections to paralyze the muscles that pull the corners of your mouth down (you’ll still be able to smile!).
The results are instant and last between 12 and 18 months; the filler would cost from £495 and the toxin from £295 at drwassimtaktouk.com (less outside London). To find a doctor nationwide who works with teoxane fillers, visit teoxanetreatments.co.uk.
