Marionette lines refer to the vertical lines going down either side from the corners of your mouth. They are often associated with the formation of jowls. The main causes of Marionette lines are: gravity, skin laxity, volume loss and overuse of the depressor anguli oris muscle resulting in down turned corners of the mouth. These are, perhaps, the most difficult to treat with non invasive methods.
Anti wrinkle injections to the depressor anguli oris muscle is the least invasive option. This can also help lift up the corners of your mouth. It is important to note that this will only bring about subtle changes to your Marionette lines.
