Marionette lines are the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin. They’re so named because they resemble the mouth of a marionette. They give the face a downward, sad expression that has nothing to do with how you feel. A marionette line filler effectively addresses this issue. In this blog, you’ll learn how marionette lines form, how a filler works, and what to expect from the treatment.
Cause
What causes marionette lines?
Marionette lines are usually caused by a combination of natural skin aging and loss of facial volume. As we age, the amount of collagen, elastin, and fatty tissue gradually decreases.
At the same time, gravity plays a role, causing the skin to have less support and slowly sag downward. This can lead to drooping corners of the mouth, and the lines extending toward the chin become increasingly visible.
Not everyone develops marionette lines in the same way. Factors such as facial structure, skin quality, and genetic predisposition also play a role.
Treatment
How does a marionette line filler work?
A hyaluronic acid filler treatment for marionette lines carefully plumps the skin around the lines, softening them and giving the face a fresher appearance.
The goal is always a natural-looking result. That’s why we look not only at the lines themselves, but at the face as a whole. Sometimes, a marionette line develops because volume has been lost higher up on the face. In that case, combining the treatment with a midface filler or another procedure can lead to a more attractive and balanced result.
During a consultation, we’ll discuss which approach best suits your face and your preferences.
Visible results
How long does the result last?
On average, the results of a marionette line filler last for about 12 months. Exactly how long the effects last varies from person to person and depends, among other things, on the filler used, the treated area, and the rate at which the body breaks down hyaluronic acid.
