Our goal is to soften these folds, restore lost volume, and support collagen regeneration using advanced cosmetic techniques.

Marionette lines, are the folds of skin that extend from your mouth corners to your jawline.
They are caused by a combination of volume loss in the chin and lower face, sagging of the overlying skin and facial fat, and tightening of the muscles along the front of your jawline.
Marionette lines can be treated with a variety of methods. The best approach depends on the severity of the lines, your skin quality, and your desired outcome. Common non-surgical treatment options include:
- Restoring volume loss to the marionette lines, chin and jawline. This smooths out the creases.
- Relaxing the muscles that pull marionette lines downwards to create a subtle lift, reducing the appearance of these lines.
- Repositioning sagging skin with long lifting threads.
- Stimulating collagen to strengthen the skin, slowing down the progression of the lines.
Often a combination of treatment modalities achieves the most natural results.
The ideal candidate for treating marionette lines is someone with mild to moderate lines with good skin quality, and who doesn’t have excessive lower face fat.
The best treatment approach depends on the underlying causes of your marionette lines, your desired outcome, and your preference for risk, cost and downtime.
A thorough consultation with a qualified and experienced aesthetic practitioner is essential to discuss your concerns and determine the most suitable treatment plan for you. They will assess your facial anatomy and recommend the most effective options.
The cost varies depending on the type and extent of treatment required. Often, combination treatments are more cost-effective.
The best way to understand the cost of treating marionette lines is to have a consultation. This allows the practitioner to properly assess your anatomy, understand your goals, and personalise a treatment plan.
Yes, treatments for marionette lines are often combined with other treatments to contour jowls, and smooth nasolabial folds and lift downturned mouth corners. This achieves a more balanced facial rejuvenation.
Treating marionette lines typically takes 10-20 minutes depending on the modalities used for your procedure.
Discomfort when treating marionette lines is usually minimal. For most treatments, topical numbing is applied beforehand to minimise any discomfort. Occasionally, injectable anaesthetic may also be used for more extensive treatments.
Realistic expectations are key. Treatments can significantly soften the appearance of marionette lines, making them less noticeable and creating a more youthful look. However, complete elimination may not always be possible, especially with non-surgical options for deep lines.
To achieve the best results, a combination of treatment methods is generally recommended.
For deep, long-standing marionette lines, non-surgical treatments may significantly improve their appearance but might not completely erase them. Surgical facelifts offer the best chance for complete removal.
The time it takes to see results from marionette line treatment depends on the methods used.
Typically, final results are seen within days to weeks.
A skilled and experienced practitioner will aim for natural-looking results that enhance your features without appearing overdone or artificial. The key factors that give natural-looking improvements in marionette lines are to use the right modalities, the right extent, and the right technique.
After undergoing treatment for marionette lines you may notice slight redness and swelling around the treated area. This typically resolved quickly.
As your treatment settles, you’ll notice a reduction in the severity of your marionette lines, giving a refreshed appearance.
Downtime after treating marionette lines is generally minimal to none. You may experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treated sites, but this usually resolves within a few days. You can typically return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects when treating marionette lines, although they are generally mild and temporary. These can include:
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Redness
- Local tenderness
- Rarely, infection or nerve irritation
