Marionette Lines Treatment

Marionette lines run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin, pulling the mouth corners downward and creating a sad, stern or aged expression even when you feel perfectly happy. A combination of filler to restore volume in the fold and Botox to relax the depressor muscle gives the most complete correction.

These lines form as the fat compartments of the lower face descend with age, and as the depressor anguli oris muscle — which pulls the mouth corners down — becomes more dominant. Addressing both the structural and muscular component produces a balanced, natural improvement.
