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.

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.
