the corners of the mouth play a powerful role in how expression is perceived. when certain muscles pull the mouth downward, it can create an appearance that feels serious, tired, or less approachable—even when that does not reflect how you feel.
over time, repeated muscle movement can strengthen this downward pull, making it more noticeable.
neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau help relax the muscles responsible for this movement. by softening the downward pull, the natural resting position of the mouth can appear more neutral or gently lifted.
patients in Buda, TX often seek this treatment to restore balance and softness to their expression.
how neuromodulators help improve a downturned smile
the dao muscle pulls the corners of the mouth downward. when this muscle is relaxed, the opposing muscles can lift the corners slightly.
treatment can help:
- soften downward pull of the mouth
- improve resting facial expression
- create a more balanced smile
- reduce tension in the lower face
