comment
This finding should be assessed with the mouth closed, the lips in relaxed contact, and the face relaxed. The finding may be difficult to assess if the lower lip is enlarged. Previous terms for downturned corners of mouth included Carp mouth andFish mouth which are no longer recommended (pejorative terms).
