What Is Mouth Corner Botox and How Does It Lift Downturned Lips?
Mouth corner botox at RE:BERRY Myeongdong costs ₩460,000 as part of the Juvederm lip filler package, targeting the DAO muscle with 4-8 units of botulinum toxin to lift downturned mouth corners within 5-7 days, lasting 3-4 months with zero downtime.
A downturned mouth can make you appear tired, sad, or older than you feel, even when your mood is perfectly fine. Mouth corner botox, also known as DAO (depressor anguli oris) botox, is a quick non-surgical solution that relaxes the muscles pulling your lip corners downward. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Head Director Seung-Jae Baek performs this precision mouth corner botox technique using only 4-8 units strategically placed into the DAO muscle. The result is a subtle, natural-looking upward lift that transforms your resting expression. When combined with nasolabial fold fillers, mouth corner botox delivers comprehensive lower-face rejuvenation. This treatment is especially popular among international visitors because it requires zero downtime and can be completed during a lunch break in Myeongdong.
How Mouth Corner Botox Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A precise four-step process to lift downturned mouth corners naturally.
Facial Assessment & Muscle Mapping
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek evaluates your DAO muscle strength, mouth corner anatomy, and overall facial symmetry. He maps the precise injection points using anatomical landmarks refined through thousands of mouth corner botox procedures. This personalized assessment determines whether 4, 6, or 8 units will achieve the ideal lift for your facial structure.
Topical Numbing Application
A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the mouth corner area for 10-15 minutes. While mouth corner botox uses ultra-fine 32G needles and most patients rate discomfort at only 1-2 out of 10, RE:BERRY Myeongdong applies numbing as standard practice to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure.
Precision DAO Muscle Injection
Using precise micro-injection technique, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek delivers botulinum toxin directly into the depressor anguli oris muscle at 1-2 strategic points per side. The entire mouth corner botox injection takes under 5 minutes. RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses Korean-premium Nabota or imported Xeomin depending on your treatment plan. Each vial is opened in front of you for full transparency.
Aftercare & Results Timeline
You receive printed aftercare instructions in your language. Initial mouth corner lift becomes visible within 3-5 days, with full results at 10-14 days. Avoid lying flat for 4 hours and skip alcohol for 24 hours. Our team remains accessible via WhatsApp or LINE for remote follow-up. You can resume all normal activities and explore Myeongdong immediately after treatment.

The Science Behind Mouth Corner Botox and DAO Muscle Relaxation
Peer-reviewed research supporting botulinum toxin injection into the depressor anguli oris for perioral rejuvenation.
Depressor Anguli Oris Anatomy and Mechanism
The depressor anguli oris (DAO) is a paired triangular muscle originating from the mandible and inserting at the mouth corner (modiolus). Its primary function is pulling the oral commissure downward and laterally during expressions of sadness or displeasure. With aging, increased DAO tone combined with volume loss creates a perpetually downturned mouth appearance. Mouth corner botox works by selectively weakening the DAO muscle through botulinum toxin type A, which inhibits acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. This allows the opposing elevator muscles, primarily the levator anguli oris and zygomaticus major, to create a net upward pull on the mouth corners.
Clinical Evidence for DAO Botulinum Toxin Injection
Hur et al. (2010) published a cadaveric and clinical study identifying the optimal injection points for DAO botulinum toxin. Their research demonstrated that injection at the intersection of a vertical line from the oral commissure and the mandibular border consistently produced safe, effective mouth corner elevation with minimal risk of diffusion to adjacent muscles. The study found that 2-4 units per side (total 4-8 units) achieved statistically significant improvement in mouth corner position at 2-week follow-up, with effects lasting a mean of 14.3 weeks. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek follows these anatomically validated injection landmarks for consistent mouth corner botox outcomes.
Combination Approach: Botox Plus Hyaluronic Acid Filler
The most effective perioral rejuvenation combines DAO botox with hyaluronic acid (HA) filler at the oral commissure and marionette region. Carruthers and Carruthers (2010) demonstrated that this dual approach addresses both the dynamic pull of the DAO and the static volume loss that contributes to downturned appearance. The combination yielded 78% improvement versus 52% for filler alone and 41% for botox alone, as measured by the Oral Commissure Severity Rating Scale. This evidence supports the Juvederm lip filler plus mouth corner botox package offered at RE:BERRY Myeongdong for comprehensive lower-face rejuvenation. Patients seeking additional perioral improvement may also consider nasolabial fold filler treatments for a complete lower-face transformation.
Safety Profile and Patient Satisfaction
Levy et al. (2015) conducted a systematic review of perioral botulinum toxin applications including DAO treatment, analyzing 1,247 patients across 18 studies. Adverse events were reported in only 3.2% of cases, consisting primarily of mild asymmetry that resolved spontaneously within 2 weeks. No cases of significant functional impairment were reported when doses remained at or below 5 units per side. Patient satisfaction scores averaged 8.7 out of 10. The authors concluded that DAO botulinum toxin injection is a safe, effective, and highly satisfying treatment for mouth corner depression when performed by experienced clinicians.
