Botox injections into the Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) muscles can help improve the appearance of a downturned mouth or a frowning expression. By relaxing these muscles, the corners of the mouth can be lifted, creating a more positive and youthful look. This procedure is commonly used in cosmetic treatments to enhance the overall facial appearance.

Many individuals may be unaware of this treatment, but it can effectively address concerns related to sagging skin around the jawline. It is often the first-line therapy utilized in this area.
Botox injections into the DAO relax this muscle, which is responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downward, often giving a frown-like appearance. The relaxation of the DAO allows for a lift in the corners of the mouth, providing a more neutral or slightly upturned mouth posture.
Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing a persistent frowning appearance of the mouth, which can impart a sad or angry look. Botox may help improve the resting position of the mouth corners. An assessment by a cosmetic healthcare provider is necessary to ensure suitability for the procedure.
The treatment generally involves minimal pain, equivalent to a small pinch, as the needle used is very fine. Some practitioners may offer a topical anesthetic or cooling ice pack to decrease discomfort during the procedure.
Side effects may include temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Rarely, patients can experience an asymmetrical smile or difficulty in performing lip movements if the Botox spreads to nearby muscles.
Results typically appear within several days to two weeks after treatment, with maximum effects visible about a month post-injection. The effects can last between 3 to 4 months, at which point retreatment is required to maintain the results.
