Are the corners of your mouth pointing downwards even though you feel happy?

An oral angioplasty, or a tongue lift as it is also known, is used to lift the corners of the mouth that have dropped due to sagging of the overlying tissues.

If you are considering an oral angioplasty/lift, the following information will give you an idea of how we at Conturkliniken® in Stockholm work, how the process works and what results you can expect. However, since every patient is unique, we cannot give you all the answers here. That's why we always start with a personalised consultation.

  • Can acidic mouths be treated with fillers?

  • I am 41 years old and, like many in my family, have always had "pulled down/sour mouths", which of course has become more pronounced over the years. I am now tired of repeatedly hearing from my children and colleagues that I look "sour" or "angry". Is Restylane something you could try?

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    Sagging jowls can be treated with either Restylane or Juvederm, which can be combined with Botox, but also with an operation called mouth angle plasty. My advice is that you come for a consultation and I can tell you what is best and the pros and cons of each treatment.

  1. Consultation & planning You will meet with a doctor and/or nurse to ask any questions, address any concerns and clarify your expectations.
  2. Preparations You will receive specific instructions on what to eat and drink, rules on smoking, use of vitamins, medications and other preparations. The day before the surgery, we will have a phone call for a final briefing.
  3. The procedure itself Oral angioplasty takes about 1 hour and is performed under general anaesthesia combined with local anaesthesia or local anaesthesia alone.
  4. The time after On each side of the mouth you have a small incision with a small suture (stitch). After a week this is removed, there may be some redness which can be made up.

An oral angioplasty is a surgical procedure with very little risk.

After surgery, there may be swelling that subsides within a few days and bruising that disappears after a week.

Feel free to contact us at Conturkliniken® in Stockholm for a personal consultation, and we will tell you in more detail how the process works with us and also talk more about how we can help you.

A simple surgical procedure can be used to lift downturned muzzles. A small wedge-shaped strip of skin is cut away above the outer edge of the roof of the mouth and then the outer edge of the roof of the mouth is lifted and stitched to the overlying tissue to create a new upward angle of the roof of the mouth.

Mouth angle plasty with Conturmetoden - for a more natural result.

For us at Conturkliniken® in Stockholm, it is important to achieve a naturally beautiful appearance that harmonises with the whole, and does not reveal any intervention. Therefore, we perform all our treatments according to Conturmetoden.

No two people are the same. There is more than one way to treat sagging mouths. In our practice, each treatment is individualised, and we often work with a combination of different procedures – both surgical and non-surgical.

Combining different methods in most cases gives a superior result, with less contrast after the procedure and a shorter recovery time as well as lower overall costs. After an oral angioplasty has been performed, it may sometimes be necessary to add fillers in order to achieve an optimal result.

Of course, you can also choose to take one thing at a time. For example, many patients start with non-surgical treatments such as filler injections (Restylane or Juvederm) and Botox, and then are so satisfied with the end result that they choose not to proceed.
