Concerns
Marionette lines
Are you noticing the skin around your mouth beginning to sag, and pulling your mouth corners down with it? Marionette lines are the ageing skin folds that run from mouth corners to jawline. Resulting from volume loss and sagging skin, they cause a heavy, aged, sad smile look.
Typically emerging in our thirties and progressing steadily over time, marionette lines are a common reason for looking older than you are. It’s important to get detailed information about marionette lines so you know how to treat them.

Marionette lines, also known as melomental folds, are the grooves that run from your mouth corners to your jawline.
A common sign of ageing, marionette lines give your lower face a heavy, saggy appearance.
Marionette lines result from a combination of facial volume loss and sagging skin.
With age, your chin and jaw bone reduce in size. As the loose skin on your lower cheeks sag, it falls over the tighter skin overlying your chin creating folds.
These folds are the marionette lines.
The best non-surgical treatment for marionette lines are dermal fillers and thread lifts. Using them in combination allows both volume loss and sagging skin to be treated in one procedure.
For severe marionette folds and longer lasting results, facelift surgery is a more effective option, but comes with higher cost, risk and downtime, as well as scarring.
To get rid of your marionette lines it is important to treat the causes.
While diet and exercise may help reduce the severity of your marionette folds, they alone are not sufficient as they don’t address facial volume loss and sagging skin.
To properly treat your marionette lines, you may consider facelift surgery for severe cases, or a combination of dermal fillers and thread lifting if your lines are mild.
