How many muscles does it take to smile in numbers?
To smile, it take as many as 15 muscles in total, but ultimately it depends on which elements of a smile you are referring to. The act of raising the corners of your mouth is done by three muscles, primarily the zygomaticus major and risorius muscles and aided by the buccinator muscle. If you squint your eyes while you smile you may also use orbicularis oculi. If you scrunch your nose with your smile then you may also use your procerus and nasalis muscle. If your forehead wrinkles and eyebrows raise then your occipitofrontalis helps as well. For someone with a very expressive smile, they are likely using a lot of their facial muscles (up to 15, the rest of the facial muscles would oppose a smile and cause frowning)."It takes one more muscle to smile than to frown, according to plastic surgeon David H.

How many muscle do you use to frown?
There's a stupid saying to the effect that "it takes X muscles to frown, but only Y muscles to smile", where Y is always smaller than X (though the actual numbers themselves vary).The reason it's a stupid saying is that nobody really knows how "many" muscles it takes to smile or frown because the number depends on exactly how you define "muscles", "smile", and "frown". This is also part of why the numbers vary (another part of it is that the people that come up with these sorts of sayings generally have almost no idea what they're talking about, and just pull numbers out of their ... er, the air).There's a somewhat more clever variant that ends "but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face."
