Restoring Facial Youthfulness and Freshness

Purpose of Marionette Lines Filler Treatment
Marionette lines are creases that extend from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin. These lines can make the face appear sad, tired, or older. Factors such as decreased collagen production, loss of facial fat volume, and skin laxity contribute to the deepening of these lines. Filler injections in this area can reduce the depth of these lines, improve facial symmetry, and create a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Marionette Line Filler?
• Individuals with deep lines extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin, creating a tired or sad appearance.
• Those experiencing skin laxity in the lower half of the face.
• Individuals looking for a non-invasive alternative to facelift surgery.
• People who wish to enhance facial freshness and achieve a more balanced look.

What Is the “Happy Face” Technique?
Many aesthetic clinics use the “Happy Face” technique as a method to improve a sad or downturned facial appearance. This approach involves injecting filler into marionette lines and the corners of the mouth to prevent sagging and create a more open, refreshed, and youthful look.

Procedure
• Topical anesthesia with numbing cream or lidocaine for comfort.
• Precise filler injection along the marionette lines to fill depressions and reduce sagging appearance.
• Shaping and contouring the corners of the mouth to create a more balanced and natural look.
• Gentle massage to ensure even distribution of the filler and prevent uneven buildup.

Pre- and Post-Treatment Care
Before the treatment:
• Avoid taking blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) at least 48 hours before the procedure.
• Refrain from alcohol and caffeine on the day of treatment.
• Stay hydrated to improve skin hydration.

After the treatment:
• Avoid touching or applying pressure on the treated area.
• Refrain from excessive mouth movements (such as chewing hard foods or excessive laughing) for 24 hours.
• Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat exposure for 48 hours.

Longevity and Side Effects
The results of marionette line fillers typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolic response. Side effects may include swelling, bruising, and temporary sensitivity, which usually subside within a few days. This treatment helps reduce marionette lines and create a fresher, more naturally youthful appearance, giving a balanced and rejuvenated look.
