Understanding marionette lines

Marionette lines run from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin, named after the hinged mouth of a puppet. As they deepen, they can give a downturned, sad look at rest. Softening them is a core part of our marionette line treatment.

What causes marionette lines

They form as the lower face loses volume and skin elasticity, so the tissue settles into lines from the mouth corners toward the chin. Loss of chin support, an active depressor muscle and gravity all contribute. Sun and smoking speed them up.

Who tends to notice them

They usually deepen from the forties onwards. People often notice them alongside a downturned mouth, feeling their lower face looks heavier or sadder than it used to at rest.

Dermal filler

Filler softens the lines and rebuilds support beneath the mouth corners so the lower face looks lifted and less tired.

Chin and jawline support

Rebuilding a stable chin and jawline gives the mouth area a firmer foundation, improving marionette lines from below.

What results are realistic

A noticeable softening of the lines and a less downturned lower face are realistic. Very deep lines improve but may not disappear entirely, and treating the chin and jaw as well often gives a more lasting, natural result. We advise honestly at consultation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had polynucleotide under-eye injections with Rachel, and I couldn’t be more pleased with both the experience and the results so far.

From the moment I arrived, Rachel was incredibly welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the treatment thoroughly and made me feel completely comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process.

The treatment itself was surprisingly pain-free, with minimal discomfort and very little downtime afterwards. I’ve already noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of my under-eye area - it looks brighter, more refreshed, and the fine lines have softened noticeably.

As someone who works night shifts in the NHS, tired-looking eyes have always been a concern for me, so seeing such positive results already has been amazing. I’m excited to complete the rest of my treatment course and see the full benefits.

I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone considering polynucleotide treatments. Her professionalism, expertise, and friendly approach make the whole experience exceptional ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What causes marionette lines?

Loss of volume and skin elasticity in the lower face, an active muscle that pulls the mouth corners down, and loss of chin support.

How are marionette lines treated?

Mainly with dermal filler to soften the lines and support the mouth corners, often alongside chin and jawline support.

Can marionette lines be removed completely?

They soften significantly. Very deep lines improve but may not vanish entirely, so a natural softening is the realistic goal.

Why treat the chin and jaw as well?

A stable chin and jawline give the mouth area a firmer foundation, so treating them can improve marionette lines and make results last.

How long do results last?

Filler in this area usually lasts nine to fifteen months, as the mobile mouth region metabolises product gradually.
