Batagovskaya noted that with age, the corners of the lips can droop spontaneously, as the entire facial frame of muscles and ligaments weakens, and facial features tend toward ptosis.

“Less obvious causes of drooping corners of the mouth include prolonged exposure to the sun without protective equipment, as well as smoking, which leads to a decrease in the level of oxygen in tissues,” added Batagovskaya, talking with AiF.
In addition, the corners of the lips may droop due to poor posture, excessive tension in the neck muscles, deformation or spasm of the mouth muscles, and a tucked chin.
