What vibe does your face give off when you are relaxed? If you have downward lip lines, frown lines or other aging facial factors, you may look unhappy or even angry when your face is at rest. This appearance has been labeled “resting bitch face,” or RBF, an undesirable facial look. Achieve a more pleasant and happy appearance – Maia Plastic Surgery offers non-surgical treatment to fix resting bitch face (RBF) at our locations in the Washington, D.C., area.

RBF Features

RBF affects individuals of various ages, but it is more common as you get older. You may be a happy, positive person but if your mouth naturally turns downward when you are relaxed or scrunch lines appear between your brows, you may look grumpy and unapproachable. Some of the key features that contribute to resting bitch face include:

  • Marionette lines – these are the downward lines that appear at the corners of the mouth, creating a “perma-frown” when your face is relaxed.
  • Frown lines – the “11s” between the brows that are caused by the glabellar muscles in the forehead.
  • Puckered lips – wrinkled, puckered lips can appear to be angrily pursed when your face is resting.

These lines and wrinkles can create a cranky expression on your face. For some individuals, it can affect their work and personal lives. The good news is that you can eliminate RBF and portray a more pleasant appearance with cosmetic injections.

RBF Cosmetic Injections

A combination of dermal fillers and neuromodulator injections are the solution for RBF. Dermal fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® use hyaluronic acid to plump wrinkled lips or erase marionette lines. This can create a more pleasant mouth appearance when your face is relaxed. Neuromodulators like Botox® and Dysport® injections can smooth away the frown lines between your eyebrows, creating a happier resting face.

If your resting face looks angry and unapproachable, you may be suffering from RBF. Change your look with the help of resting bitch face treatment at Maia Plastic Surgery. Contact our clinic in Tysons Corner, VA, or Chevy Chase, MD, to schedule an RBF treatment consultation.

Dr. Maia and her staff are incredibly professional and truly empathetic. They’ve done a beautiful job with the treatments that I’ve gotten and I look forward to coming to the office every single time.

Dr. Maia deserves more than 5-stars! I’m thrilled with my results and I’m less than 3 months post surgery. Dr. Maia is confident and kind, and not at all pushy like other plastic surgeons. I was overly impressed the morning of the procedure. The surgical and hospital staff know her well! They were ready for her and put me at ease while I was getting settled in the OR. I appreciate the team in Dr. Maia’s office for their patience and care. They are just as calm as Dr. Maia.

Mid 40s male who’s always had nasal breathing issues and a dorsal bump. I finally decided to do something about it with a septoplasty/rhinoplasty combo. I met with a few doctors but Dr. Maia stood out. She instilled confidence, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. The surgery was straight forward, and the swelling was surprisingly light. A week later the cast was off and I was on the short road to recovery. Honestly, if I had known it was this easy I would have done it earlier. Thanks Dr. Maia!

I recently had Dysport injected by NP Kristina, and I could not be happier with the outcome. I can already see some of the results few days post-injections! I love how quickly Dysport softens the wrinkles, without giving you the "frozen look". Just in time for the upcoming holidays! Earlier this year, I did 3 Morpheus-8 treatments to my face and neck, and I am CONSTANTLY being complimented on how good my skin looks. Worth every penny! I also had fillers injected by Dr. Maia and Kristina. Dr. Maia did my under-eye, which I am obsessed about... what a change! Kristina injected my lips, chin, jawline, and cheeks. My face looks more proportional and guess what.... I FINALLY HAVE A CHIN :) Thank you, Dr. Maia, Kristina, and the Team. You're the best. I will surely be back for more.

I had tummy tuck and muscle repair with Dr. Maia 3 months ago. I couldn't be happier. I am 44 and I got my 25 year old body back after tummy tuck with Dr. Maia. The initial consult was great. The surgery was fast. The post op care was excellent. Dr. Maia and team assured me that I had great post recovery and everything going okay. I had no complication whatsoever. The incission was very small and low which I love. She is amazing and caring surgeon. He teams are very responsive and wonderful. I am very happy with the result and everything.
