Background
Aging affects the perioral region, resulting in folding, wrinkles, and drooping of the corners of the mouth. This might cause esthetic and functional problems. Here, we demonstrate a new suspension technique to lift the descending corners of the mouth.
Method and results
Two case reports are presented. A wraparound mouth corner lift is combined with an additional suspension method. A suspension suture is fixated at the commissure and subcutaneous layer in the nasolabial fold just lateral of the alar base to provide an extra lift of the corners.
Conclusion
Ptosis of the corners of the mouth can be corrected naturally with the additional suspension technique. Further investigations are necessary to provide insight into the long-term results.
