Having an angry appearance without actually feeling this emotion is a common concern in consultations. Many patients describe a face that appears closed, harsh or irritated, even though they feel calm and relaxed. This mismatch between inner feelings and the image reflected can be a source of discomfort in both personal and professional life.
An angry appearance is based on precise anatomical mechanisms. It is not only about wrinkles, but about a set of muscle tensions, volume loss and changes in facial features.

Several characteristic signs make it possible to identify an angry appearance.
The term “Resting Bitch Face” (RBF) is sometimes used to describe a facial expression at rest that can be perceived as harsh or closed.

Correction is based on a global approach aimed at relaxing tension, restoring volumes and softening facial features.
Botulinum toxin is the reference treatment. It helps relax the muscles responsible for frown lines and eye tension. By reducing their contraction, it opens the gaze and softens facial expression.
Hyaluronic acid can be used to restore support to facial structures. It helps soften certain hollow areas and rebalance proportions. Lips that are too thin or pursed can be slightly enhanced to restore a more relaxed expression.
Improving skin quality is achieved through injections of Skinboosters, Sculptra and mesopeel sessions.
Skinboosters help rehydrate the skin deeply and improve its suppleness.
Sculptra works by progressively stimulating collagen production, which improves skin density and firmness, with a diffuse effect on the entire face.
Peels, particularly mesopeel protocols, help even out the complexion, smooth skin texture and restore radiance.

Furrowed brows are linked to muscle contraction. Botulinum toxin helps relax these muscles and restore a more relaxed expression.
