Marionette filler is one of the aesthetic medical procedures applied to reduce the appearance of the vertical lines called marionette lines, which extend from the corners of the mouth toward the chin area. Aging, reduced skin elasticity, and loss of volume in the facial area can cause these lines to become more prominent over time.
Marionette filler is the controlled injection of dermal fillers, usually hyaluronic acid-based, into the area where the prominent lines between the corner of the mouth and the chin are located. The aim of the procedure is not to completely eliminate the lines, but to provide support in line with facial anatomy and achieve a softer, more balanced appearance.
Marionette filler may help the lines extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin appear less noticeable. By supporting the balance of volume loss in the lower part of the face, it may create a more vibrant and rested appearance. With proper planning, it may help the contour around the mouth appear more balanced.
Before the procedure, the facial structure, skin characteristics, and the degree of prominence of the marionette lines are evaluated. The appropriate filler product and application points are determined according to the person's needs. The filler is applied in a controlled manner by an experienced physician.
After the procedure, temporary swelling, sensitivity, or bruising may occur. To achieve a natural result, marionette filler should be planned individually, taking the person's facial proportions and anatomical features into account.
