DOWNTURNED MOUTH (DAO)- WITH DR ANDY & DR ANDEW

Medical FAQ

Is it safe?

Yes, but it requires an experienced injector to avoid affecting the DLI muscle (which lowers the lip).

"Medical aesthetic treatments require a face-to-face consultation to determine suitability. Prescription items (Botulinum Toxin, Tretinoin) are subject to strict clinical assessment. Results may vary."

WHY CHOSE DR ANDY & DR ANDREW

GP-Led Safety

Aesthetics is unregulated, but medicine is not. As fully qualified General Practitioners, we bring over 10 years of medical training to every procedure. We understand the complex anatomy of the face, the vascular risks, and the importance of sterility. You are not just a customer; you are a patient in a medical environment.

INDIVIDUAL Results Only

We specialise in achieving the look and outcome that you want. We do not apply broad templates to individual faces- we respect your own anatomy, muscle strength and all the nuances that make you- you.

After every treatment, you have unlimited followup with Dr Andy & Dr Andrew, and we are the only clinicians you will see.

Honest Medicine

We are doctors, not salespeople. If a treatment isn't right for you, or if your expectations are unrealistic, we will tell you. We pride ourselves on ethical practice and will never recommend a procedure unless we believe it is in your best medical and aesthetic interest.
