This does wonders to correct that unfortunate grumpy, saddened look that commonly appears in the late twenties or early thirties, and gets worse with progressing years. Its name comes from the small lopsided valentine excision performed at the corner of the mouth.

It is common for one or more other small procedures to accompany valentine anguloplasty such as injection soft tissue filler (Juvaderm, Radiesse) into the lip and lip lines, chemical peel or resurfacing of the lip, chin augmentation, or shortening the distance between the upper lip and the bottom of the nose.

Valentine mouth rejuvenation is an office-based procedure, can be done under local anesthesia only, and makes wonders when the focus is the mouth area.
