One of the most common concerns I hear is:
āI feel like I look unhappy, even when Iām not.ā
While volume loss can certainly contribute to changes in the lower face, it isnāt always the primary cause.
The depressor anguli oris (DAO) is a muscle responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downward. When this muscle becomes overactive, it can create a downward pull at rest, contributing to a tired, sad, or frustrated appearance.
By strategically treating the DAO with neuromodulator, we can reduce this downward tension and improve the resting position of the corners of the mouth, creating a softer and more balanced expression.
No filler.
No added volume.
Just a thoughtful assessment of facial anatomy and treating the muscle responsible for the concern.
