Mouth Corner Newtox in Buffalo
Soften Downturned Mouth Corners for a More Balanced-Looking Expression
Do the corners of your mouth naturally turn downward, making you look tired, sad, or unhappy even when you’re feeling your best? Mouth Corner Newtox is a targeted, non-surgical treatment designed to temporarily reduce the activity of selected muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward.
What Is Mouth Corner Newtox?
Mouth Corner Newtox is a botulinum toxin treatment targeting selected muscles around the lower face, particularly muscles that contribute to downward movement of the mouth corners.
The treatment may be considered when muscle activity is a significant factor in the appearance of a downturned mouth.
Depending on your individual facial anatomy, Newtox may help:
- Reduce downward muscle pull
- Soften a downturned-looking mouth
- Create a more relaxed-looking expression
- Improve the visual balance of the lower face
- Complement other facial aesthetic treatments
- Create a subtle, refreshed-looking appearance
A qualified practitioner will assess your facial movement and anatomy before determining whether treatment is appropriate.
Why Do My Mouth Corners Turn Down?
A downturned mouth can have more than one cause.
Muscle Activity
Strong activity of the muscles around the mouth can pull the corners downward, particularly during certain facial expressions.
Natural Facial Anatomy
Some people naturally have a mouth shape where the corners appear slightly downward.
Changes With Age
As we age, changes in skin elasticity, facial volume, and structural support can affect the appearance of the lower face.
Volume Loss
Changes in facial volume can make folds and lines around the mouth more noticeable.
Combination of Factors
For many people, several factors contribute to the appearance of the mouth corners.
This is why an assessment is important before choosing a treatment.

What Is DAO Newtox?
Understanding the Depressor Anguli Oris Muscle
The depressor anguli oris, commonly called the DAO muscle, is located around the lower corners of the mouth.
Its function includes helping pull the corners of the mouth downward.
When DAO activity contributes significantly to a downturned mouth, carefully targeted botulinum toxin treatment may reduce its activity temporarily.
This is why the treatment is sometimes referred to as:
- DAO Newtox
- DAO treatment
- DAO muscle treatment
- Mouth corner Newtox
- Downturned mouth Newtox
- Non-surgical mouth lift
Mouth Corner Newtox is intended to create a subtle change in muscle activity, rather than physically lifting the skin or restructuring the face.
For suitable patients, the treatment may result in:
- A softer-looking mouth corner
- Less visible downward pull
- A more neutral-looking resting expression
- A more relaxed-looking lower face
- A subtle improvement in facial balance
Results vary depending on your facial anatomy, muscle activity, treatment technique, and individual response.
