Marionette Line Filler in Myeongdong, Seoul
Marionette lines run down from the mouth corners toward the chin and can make you look sad or stern. Filler restores the lost support, often with a little Botox to ease the downward pull.
Quick answer
Marionette line filler softens the lines and shadows that run from the mouth corners down to the jaw, using hyaluronic acid, usually 0.5–1 ml per side. Because the muscle below the corners also pulls downward, many plans combine filler with mouth corner Botox. Swelling is mild and results usually last 9–12 months.
What causes marionette lines?
They form when fat below the mouth thins and descends, the jawline begins to jowl and the depressor muscle pulls the corners down. Filler restores the volume under the corner and along the line; Botox reduces the pull; and lifting helps if the jowl is the main issue.
Who is it for?
- Lines or shadows running down from the mouth corners.
- A sad or stern expression at rest.
- Heavy jowls may need pre-jowl filler or lifting as well.
