Describe what you’ve noticed in your own words, and we’ll help you understand the options.

Understanding facial movement & expressions
Our faces do a lot of moving, and sometimes one little feature draws our attention more than the rest. You might notice your chin puckering, your smile looking uneven or your face appearing tense when you’re actually relaxed.
There’s no need to know which muscle is responsible. We’ll look at how your face moves and what might be contributing. If your concern is more about shape or fullness, our facial shape and structure page may be a better fit.
What causes facial movement and expression concerns?
The muscles in your face work together whenever you smile, speak or frown. Their strength and the way they work together affect your expressions, alongside your natural features.
Skin firmness and volume loss can influence the appearance too, so it isn’t always about muscle movement. If a tight or aching jaw is the issue, our jaw clenching and grinding page covers that separately.

Masseter Treatment
For concerns involving jaw clenching, teeth grinding or prominent jaw muscles. We’ll assess the area and discuss your options, including whether a dental assessment would be the best starting point.
Gummy Smile Treatment
For a smile that shows more gum than you’d like. We’ll look at how your upper lip moves and explain whether a muscle-focused approach could be appropriate, as not every gummy smile has the same cause.

Common questions
Can treatment change the way I smile?
Some procedures can affect your smile, which is why we take time to assess your movement first. We’ll explain possible changes, including unwanted effects or asymmetry, so you can decide whether treatment feels right for you.
Is a downturned mouth always caused by muscle movement?
No. Changes in skin firmness and facial support can contribute too. We’ll look at the area both relaxed and moving, then explain what’s creating the appearance you’ve noticed.
Will I still be able to make facial expressions?
We know keeping your expression matters. We’ll talk through how any proposed treatment could affect movement, including its limits and risks. No procedure can guarantee an exact amount of movement or a particular result.
Do I need to know which area to book for?
Not at all. You can contact us and explain what’s bothering you without knowing any treatment names. If it’s mainly lines appearing with movement, our fine lines and wrinkles page may help too.
