Marionette Lines

Lift and soften lines around the mouth for a smoother, more youthful appearance

Overview

What Are Marionette Lines?

Marionette lines are the vertical lines that run from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin.

As we age, loss of collagen, reduced skin elasticity, and volume loss in the lower face can cause these lines to deepen, creating a downturned or tired appearance.

Marionette line treatment uses advanced hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to restore volume, lift the corners of the mouth, and soften these lines — resulting in a more refreshed and balanced look.

Marionette Lines FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes marionette lines?
They are caused by ageing, collagen loss, gravity, and volume loss in the lower face.
Why do some people get more severe marionette lines than others?
Marionette lines vary due to a combination of genetics, skin type, bone structure, and lifestyle factors. People with thinner skin, reduced collagen levels, or greater volume loss in the cheeks and jawline may develop deeper lines. Factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and weight loss can also accelerate their appearance.
What age do marionette lines typically appear?
Marionette lines can begin to appear in the late 20s or 30s but usually become more noticeable in the 40s and beyond as collagen and facial volume decrease.
How do marionette lines differ from nasolabial folds?
Nasolabial folds run from the nose to the mouth, while marionette lines extend from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin. Both are treated differently depending on their cause.
Can weight loss make marionette lines worse?
Yes. Significant weight loss can reduce facial fat, leading to less support in the lower face and making marionette lines appear more pronounced.
Can marionette lines be prevented?
While they cannot be completely prevented, good skincare, sun protection, and early aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers or skin boosters can help slow their development.
Is filler injected directly into marionette lines?
Not always. In many cases, treating surrounding areas such as the cheeks or jawline provides better structural support and a more natural result than filling the line alone. That’s why our clinicians take time to review the wider facial context before providing any treatment.
How long do marionette line results last?

Results typically last between 9–18 months. depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolism,

Will the treatment look natural - even when I smile?

Yes. Our approach focuses on restoring balance and subtle lift without overfilling.

Can marionette lines be treated without surgery?
Yes. Dermal fillers are a highly effective non-surgical solution.
Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimal, and numbing cream is used to keep the procedure comfortable.
Can this be combined with other treatments?
Yes, marionette line treatment is often combined with chin enhancement, jawline filler, or cheek filler for fuller facial profile enhancement.
