Anatomy of the Mouth Corners
Oral Commissure: The place where upper and lower lips meet
The Modiolus: A dense, highly complex muscular node situated just lateral to each corner of the mouth. Nine distinct facial muscles (including the orbicularis oris, zygomaticus major, and risorius) converge at this exact point
Biological purpose: The modiolus helps for lower facial movements such as talking, swallowing, chewing, facial expressions, and maintaining a fluid tight seal (labial competence) to prevent drooling.

Medical Risks and Dangers (the important part)
Infection: The human mouth contains hundreds of bacterial species. Creating open cuts near oral flora leads to high risks of infections
Disfiguring Scarring: When you cut the corners of your mouth, you don't get a smooth wider lip you get permanent scar tissue. The edge of your lips (the vermilion border) can't just regrow itself when they are sliced open because your mouth keeps opening when u talk, eat or smile, the healing wound gets fucked up. Instead of clean skin, your body responds back with building thich scars (hypertrophic scars or keloids) that leaves the corners of your mouths deformed
Loss of Mouth Function: Damaging the orbicularis oris, ruins the mouths ability to do shut down properly leads to drooling when you sleep, liquids spilling from ur mouth when drinking something.
Permanent Nerve Damage: The corners of ur mouth is filled up with facial nerves that controls movement and feelings. If you slice thru these nerves the damage is PERMANENT. You can lose all of the feelings in your lower face and leave it numb and it can paralyze the muscles permanentaly and that results side of your mouth to drop downwards and lose all of ur abilities to express your facial expressions
