What is Mouth Corner & Chin Botox, and what does it do?

Mouth corner Botox relaxes the depressor anguli oris (DAO), the small muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth down and gives a resting face a sad or stern look; a few units on each side let the corners sit level and soften the marionette shadow. Chin Botox relaxes the mentalis, the muscle that bunches the chin into a pebbled, dimpled texture when you speak or close your lips, and that pulls the chin up into a deepened crease below the lower lip. Both are low-dose, high-precision areas: the muscles are small, they sit next to the muscles that shape your smile, and placement matters more than units.

At Boom Dermatology in Seomyeon these two areas are priced per area like the forehead, treated in the same visit as wrinkle Botox when the lower face is the concern, and often paired with a small amount of chin filler two weeks later when the chin is short as well as dimpled. The doctor watches you speak, purse and smile before marking a point.

What Busan patients ask before Mouth Corner & Chin Botox
  • My mouth turns down even when I feel fine. Can that be changed?
  • Is it risky to inject Botox this close to the smile muscles?
  • What causes the pebbled, dimpled chin texture?
  • Will my smile look different afterwards?
  • Why are these doses so much smaller than forehead Botox?

All of these come up most weeks at our Seomyeon skin clinic. The page answers them in order.

02 Who it suits

Who is Mouth Corner & Chin Botox for?

Good candidates

  • Mouth corners that turn down at rest, a stern or sad resting expression
  • Early marionette shadows that soften when the corners are lifted
  • A chin that dimples, bunches or pebbles when you speak or close your lips
  • A deepened crease between the lower lip and the chin
  • Patients who want a subtle, natural change rather than a reshaped mouth

We will suggest something else

  • Deep marionette folds with real volume loss, which need filler along the fold
  • A short or receding chin, which is a chin filler question, sometimes combined
  • Lip lines, which have their own protocol and are dosed separately
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding, neuromuscular conditions
  • Patients who rely on precise lip control professionally (wind instruments, singing) in the next month

How does Boom Dermatology dose Mouth Corner & Chin Botox?

Mouth corner and chin Botox are dosed in single units and placed by the doctor after watching the lower face move.

Watch the lower face

Speak, purse, smile, frown. The DAO is marked where it pulls on the corner; the mentalis where the chin bunches.

Small units

2–6 units per corner, 4–10 in the chin: a fraction of a forehead dose, because the muscles are small and the neighbours matter.

Timing and repeat

Two weeks before an event; every three to four months to maintain.

07 Questions, answered properly

Is it risky to inject Botox this close to the smile muscles?

It is precise work, which is different from risky. The DAO sits next to the depressor labii, the muscle that lowers the lip for a full smile; placed too high or too medially, a dose spreads into it and one side of the smile drops for a few weeks. The doctor at Boom Dermatology marks the DAO low and lateral, where it inserts into the jaw, uses small units and does not treat this area with a wide-spreading brand. In practice the corners lift and the smile is unchanged.

What causes the pebbled, dimpled chin texture?

The mentalis, a small muscle that lifts the chin skin when you close your lips or speak. When it overworks, usually because the chin is short or the lips need help to meet, it bunches the skin into a cobblestone texture and pulls a crease under the lower lip. A few units relax it; if the chin is short, a little filler two weeks later removes the reason the muscle was overworking.

Will my smile look different afterwards?

It should look the same, with the corners sitting level at rest instead of turned down. The muscles that lift the corners into a smile are not treated. If anything changes, it is that the resting face reads as neutral or content rather than tired.

Why are these doses so much smaller than forehead Botox?

Because the muscles are a fraction of the size and their neighbours control your lips. A forehead takes 8 to 20 units spread across a broad flat muscle; a mouth corner takes 2 to 6 units in one precise spot. At our Seomyeon skin clinic these areas are priced per area, so the small dose is never a reason to inject more.

Botox or filler for the corners of the mouth?

Both, depending on what is pulling. If the corner turns down because the DAO is strong, Botox lifts it. If a fold has formed from the corner toward the chin, that is lost volume, and a small amount of filler along the fold does what Botox cannot. Many patients over forty get a little of each, two weeks apart; the doctor shows you which on your own photo.
