I’m 55 and the corners of my mouth have begun to droop

March 23, 2011 by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question:
I’m 55 and the corners of my mouth have begun to droop. Can this be improved with a facelift without making me look like the Joker from Batman?

Answer:
Having the corners of the mouth begin to droop is a fairly common occurrence as we begin to age. In my office, I am able to inject dermal fillers and use Botox or Dysport to elevate the corners of the mouth, which is only temporary. A face lift which also addresses the descending cheek will also help to correct the drooping corners of the mouth, the melolabial folds. Elongation and descent of the muscles of facial expression and facial fat pads is what is primarily responsible for this particular occurrence. I think that like all face lift procedures, a conservative approach to rejuvenation of the face is always the best approach. It leaves the patient with a refreshed facial appearance and avoids the well known sequela of the face lift look.

Dr. Schoenfeld fixed my broken nose last St. Patty's Day and I couldn't be happier with the results. I fell on my nose multiple times as a kid and officially broke it 3 years ago, so let's just say my nose was pretty messed up and useless. I finally decided it was time to get it fixed at the beginning of 2017. Dr. Schoenfeld has a great bedside manner, is honest about expectations, and exudes a confidence that immediately made me trust him as a surgeon. The surgical team at River Road Surgery Center was also excellent. They answered all of my questions, made me feel at ease, and pumped me…

5 stars

Thanks again for the most excellent work you did on my nose -- I am just thrilled (yet still recovering.) It has made a world of difference to my breathing and I couldn't be happier with the work you did! I've almost got my smile back. Best wishes -- and thanks so much again to you (and Dawn, too). Sincerely,

5 stars

Thank you so much for not only beautifully repairing my nose, but for rearranging your schedule and going out of your way to help me in my time of need. Your friendly and distinctive assistance is appreciated more than you know. Thank you,
