Mouth Wrinkles? How to Treat Marionette Lines | Doctor Explains

In today's episode I take you through what marionette lines are, how they appear and what can be done to treat them.
MARIONETTE LINES
The name originates from marionette string puppets who have dark lines from the corners of the mouth to the jaw allowing them to move their mouth.
As we age, we loose volume in this area and hence lines appear more prominent.
HOW TO TREAT
There are several options that may be explored.
Non-permanent dermal fillers can be strategically used in this area to reduce the volume deficit.
Another option is to consider anti-wrinkle treatment to the muscles of the lower face - DAO. These muscles pull the corner of the mouth down and out. By temporarily inactivating this muscle, the corners of the mouth settle in an upwards position. It's important to understand that if the crease lines of the marionettes are very deep, anti-wrinkle to this area is unlikely to change this appearance. Very often dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatment to the corners of the mouth are done in conjunction with one another.
A final method to consider is a mini face lift or a permanent surgical procedure to lift and pull back the lower face.

Can you tell us what to expect after marionette filler, also is darkening of the lips a common side effect after marionette filler.

I've not seen darkening of lips in any videos. I have a friend who's had this done a few times, and no affect on lips.

[@gvelden1]

How bout microneedling?

[@lisakaz35]

I'm trying it but not sure of depth. Not getting better yet. I think I have to do it 3 times before I see better but I suspect 1 mm depth isn't enough.
