Depth of injection is everything when treating the depressor anguli oris. Go too deep or too low, and you risk hitting the depressor labii, leading to unwanted lip ptosis and asymmetry. Here’s the anatomical reason: The DLI dives underneath the DAO and attaches to bone beneath it. So if you inject too deep or too inferiorly, you’re right in its danger zone. Instead, stay superficial and more superior to precisely target the DAO and avoid complications. 📍This is just one of the clinical strategi
