Quick answer

What are marionette line fillers?

Marionette line fillers place hyaluronic acid filler under the lines that run from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin. Supporting this area lifts drooping mouth corners and softens shadows that can make you look sad, tired or annoyed.

Because a strong depressor muscle can also pull the corners down, filler is often combined with a few units of botulinum toxin. Deep lines with jowling may also benefit from jawline filler for support.

Your visit

How Marionette line filler works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

  1. Consult

    The doctor checks line depth, mouth-corner position and jowl support.

  2. Numbing

    Numbing cream around the mouth and chin.

  3. Support & fill

    Filler is placed beneath the corner and along the line, often with a cannula, for a gentle lift.

  4. Aftercare

    Avoid facial massage, saunas and alcohol for 24–48 hours.

Before & after

How filler lifts the mouth corners

Gel under the corner and along the line restores the support that has been lost, so the mouth sits more neutrally at rest.

FAQ

Marionette line filler questions

Why do marionette lines form?

Volume loss around the mouth and chin, ligament changes and muscle pull all contribute as we age.

Can Botox help marionette lines?

Yes. A small dose in the depressor muscle can lift the corners, and it works well with filler.

Will it affect my smile?

No. When placed correctly, the filler supports the area without changing how you smile or speak.

How long does it last?

Typically 9–12 months because the area moves a lot.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
