A subtle smile can completely change a person’s impression.If your mouth naturally turns downward, making you look tired or unhappy, corner lip lift with Botox in Korea offers a quick and natural-looking correction — no surgery required.
Let’s look at how this treatment works, its benefits, and what you should know before booking your session.
Understanding How a Corner Lip Lift with Botox Works
Our mouth corners are controlled by multiple facial muscles that either pull the corners upward (for smiling) or downward (creating a sad or tense expression).
The main muscle responsible for pulling the corners down is the depressor anguli oris (DAO).When this muscle contracts too strongly, it overpowers the lifting muscles and causes the mouth corners to droop.
By carefully injecting Botox into the DAO muscle, dermatologists can relax its downward pull, allowing the upward muscles to dominate. As a result, the mouth corners gradually lift, creating a softer and more pleasant facial expression.
🩺 Dermatologist’s Insight:“We’re not artificially ‘pulling up’ the corners — we’re simply rebalancing the natural tension between facial muscles,” explains Dr. Choi, a board-certified dermatologist in Seoul.
Corner Lip Lift with Botox in Korea – Results and Timeline
The lifting effect doesn’t appear instantly but develops gradually over 5–10 days as the Botox starts to take effect. You’ll notice:
A slightly elevated mouth corner angle
A brighter, more approachable expression
Reduced frown-like appearance when relaxed
Expected Duration of Corner Lip Lift with Botox in Korea
The results typically last 3 to 5 months, depending on:
Muscle strength and facial tension
Dosage and injection precision

With consistent treatments, muscle tension balance improves, and the effect often lasts longer over time.

Potential Side Effects and Safety Precautions
Because the mouth area involves multiple overlapping muscles, precise technique is essential.If Botox is injected too deeply or in the wrong spot, it may temporarily affect speech or chewing.
To avoid such risks:
Always choose a board-certified dermatologist or cosmetic physician
Avoid massaging or touching the injection area for 24 hours
Refrain from lying face-down or exercising immediately after treatment
⚕️ Safety Note:Reputable Korean clinics follow MFDS (Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) guidelines and use only approved Botox products such as Botulax, Nabota, or Allergan Botox.
