Smooth Lines Around the Mouth for a Lifted, Youthful Lower Face
Marionette lines are the vertical creases that extend from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin. These lines can make the lower face look tired or pulled downward, even when you feel refreshed. At SkinFit Medical Spa, we offer marionette line fillers to help soften these shadows, restore support, and create a smoother, uplifted look. Using FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers, our injectors enhance the contours around the mouth while maintaining natural movement and expression.
What Are Marionette Lines?
It appears gradually with age as collagen decreases, the cheeks lose volume, and skin elasticity weakens. Genetics, sun exposure, and repeated facial movement can deepen these lines, causing the corners of the mouth to turn downward. This contributes to an aged or “saddened” appearance in the lower face.
Filler for lines around the mouth is an effective solution because it restores the underlying support, thereby softening marionette lines. By placing small amounts of filler in strategic areas, we help lift the corners of the mouth, soften creases, and create a more balanced facial profile. Treatment can also complement other lower-face fillers, such as chin or jawline enhancement.
Benefits of Treating Marionette Lines with Fillers

- Lifted Corners of the Mouth: Restoring volume helps gently lift the downward pull at the corners of the mouth, creating a more refreshed expression.
- More Youthful Facial Expression: By improving lower-face support, fillers help the face look brighter and less tired without changing natural movement.
- Improved Lower Face Contour: Treatment enhances the balance and structure of the lower face, complementing surrounding features such as the chin and jawline.
- Immediate, Long-Lasting Results: Clients see noticeable improvement right away with minimal downtime and results that last several months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do marionette line fillers look natural?
When carefully placed by an experienced injector, filler in this area appears soft and natural. Our approach focuses on subtle lifting and smoothing, ensuring your expression remains natural and your face looks refreshed, not overfilled.
What's best: Botox® or filler for marionette lines?
Botox® and fillers serve different purposes. Filler is typically the best choice for marionette lines, as the concern is due to volume loss and skin sagging rather than muscle activity. Botox® may be used in combination in select cases to soften downward pulling, but filler is the primary treatment for restoring lift and structure.
How long do results last?
Typically, results last from 9 to 12 months, depending on your metabolism, the product you use, and your lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments can help preserve smoothness and support in the lower face.
How many syringes are needed?
Most clients need 1 to 2 syringes to achieve natural softening and subtle lift. The exact amount depends on the depth of the lines and whether additional lower-face support is required.
Is there downtime after the treatment?
Downtime is minimal. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur for a few days, but many clients return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
