What are marionette lines?
Marionette lines are the creases that extend down and outwards from the corners of the mouth towards the sides of your chin. They usually result from changes to the facial structure that occur with age, and some people are genetically predisposed to developing them earlier.
Marionette lines have three causes:
- A loss of deep bone and fatty tissue structure beneath the skin.
- Sagging skin of the lower cheeks collapses over the top of the more rigid chin skin.
- Increasing muscle tension along the front of your jaw.
The combination of these causes a grooves in the skin known as melomental folds (or marionette lines) to become apparent.
How are marionette lines treated?
We can treating marionette lines in various ways, depending on your unique pattern of ageing. Typically this involves addressing lost volume, stimulating collagen, repositioning sagging skin, and relaxing muscles. The specific modalities required for your treatment is determined during your consultation.
