How it works

Sagging mouth corners? Feel like you’re always looking sad or angry? Downturned mouth injections (also known as DAO injections, or sad smile injections) are an effective treatment to lift to the corners of your mouth. Available at Cosmetic Connection Melbourne, downturned mouth injections will help you to look more lifted and refreshed.

Downturned mouth injections work by relaxing the depressor anguli oris muscle. This stops the muscle from pulling down the mouth corners, creating a lifting effect.

At Cosmetic Connection Melbourne, downturned mouth injections are one of our more common treatments. Most people combine this with other treatments including dermal filler and collagen stimulating injections for a more pronounced lifted look.

    Downturned and sagging mouth corners occur from overactivity of the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle, as well as age-related sagging skin.

    Downturned and heavy mouth corners can leave you looking tired, angry and unhappy, and are a frequent sign of ageing.

    Downturned mouth injections use muscle-relaxing product to relax the DAO (depressor anguli oris) muscle. The DAO muscle normally pulls the mouth corners down and out. By relaxing the muscle, the corners of the mouth can be lifted.

    Downturned mouth injections are performed using tiny needles to place muscle-relaxing product in the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle.

    The treatment takes just a few minutes, and has no downtime.

    When performed properly, downturned mouth injections have almost no discomfort. Tiny needles are used, and we have a range of strong numbing options available for those concerned about discomfort from having downturned mouth injections in Melbourne.

    The result from your downturned mouth injections in Melbourne will start to take effect after 3-5 days, with the peak effect seen in 2 weeks.

    Downturned mouth injections usually last an average of 3-4 months. The longevity of the effect will depend on the size and strength of the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle, and the amount of product injected.

    There are a few steps to take before your downturned mouth injections in Melbourne to optimise your result, and lower the risk of side effects. They include:

    • Cease all anti-inflammatories, aspirin, herbal supplements, fish oil, krill oil, glucosamine and vitamin E 1 week before your treatment (unless you have been advised to take these by a medical practitioner)
    • Avoid excessive alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment
    • Attend your appointment without makeup

    After having downturned mouth injections in Melbourne, you may notice slight redness at the skin of the injected area. This will resolve quickly.

    The effect will start to kick in 3-5 days after the treatment, with the final result seen in 2 weeks.

    When performed correctly, injections for a downturned mouth are categorised as a safe treatment.

    Visiting an experienced, doctor-led clinic is the best way to ensure that your downturned mouth injections are performed as safely as possible.
