When your skin starts to sag
Lift and refine facial contours the medical way.
The silent ritual of the "pull-back"
Beyond sagging is the habit of lifting your face to see the contours you once had. Skin drops, lines deepen, and facial clarity blur.
Makeup and "hacks" cannot rebuild structure
Makeup mimics contour; exercises target tone. Neither address structure. True refinement targets the cause.
This isn’t about change, it’s about preservation
It’s about looking refreshed, rested, and like yourself, all while preserving natural expression and identity.
Refined, not different

The foundation of facial support
The nasolabial folds develop as a result of three processes.
- A loss of structure in the upper jaw
- Sagging skin, primarily resulting from collagen loss
- Excess cheek fat
Over time, factors like genetics, sun exposure, and natural ageing accelerate the development.
Due to the interconnected nature of the face, marionette lines often develop simultaneously with nasolabial (nose-to-mouth) folds and a loss of lip volume, which shows as lip thinning and vertical lip lines.
To correctly treat marionette lines, we must first identify the cause.

Marionette lines are the grooves extending down and out from the mouth corners to the chin.
Marionette lines have three causes:
- Full lower cheeks which project further from the face, causing marionette lines
- Loss of lower jaw volume, causing the lines to deepen
- Sagging skin, which results in lines when the tissue descends towards the mouth area
Some people, especially those with naturally full lower cheeks have genetic marionette lines.
Everyone develops marionette lines as they lose facial volume and their skin starts to sag.
Yes, preventing marionette lines primarily involves collagen stimulation to slow down the development of sagging skin.
Treatment aims to restore lose facial volume and add support to the support reducing their depth.
By reducing the depth of the fold and supporting the overlying skin, and appearance of the marionette lines reduces.
The time to results after treating marionette lines depends on the specific methods used. Some techniques give instant changes, while others emerge over a few weeks.
Downtime is usually minimal. Some people experience temporary swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically resolves in a few days.
Treating marionette lines is low-risk when performed correctly, but does have some potential side effects.
