Typical ranges for lip corner lift; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is a lip corner lift?
A lip corner lift is surgery that raises downturned corners of the mouth by removing a small triangle of skin above each corner and adjusting the underlying muscle. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Mouth corners that slope downward can make a neutral face look sad or stern, and the slope increases with age. Lifting the corners by a few millimetres changes the resting expression without altering the rest of the lip.
Who is a lip corner lift for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Mouth corners that turn down at rest
- A sad or displeased expression when relaxed
- Asymmetric mouth corners
- Lines running down from the corners of the mouth
How a lip corner lift is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon measures the angle of the mouth corners and marks a small, symmetrical area of skin to remove.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Raising the corners A small triangle of skin is removed just above each corner, the muscle that pulls the corner down may be weakened, and the edge is sutured in a raised position.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.

Frequently asked questions
Is a lip corner lift permanent?
The repositioning is long lasting. Facial aging continues, but the corners generally remain improved.
Will there be scars at the corners of my mouth?
A fine scar sits along the lip border at the corner. It is usually inconspicuous once healed.
Can botulinum toxin lift the mouth corners?
It can give a mild, temporary lift by relaxing the downward-pulling muscle. Surgery gives a more definite change.
