What Are Nasolabial and Marionette Lines?

Nasolabial lines are lines that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Marionette lines, on the other hand, are grooves that run from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline, giving the face a sad or tired expression. These lines become more prominent over time due to aging, gravity, volume loss, and the use of facial expressions.

Aesthetic problems in these areas should be treated not only by filling the lines themselves, but also with a holistic approach that considers the supporting areas of the face.

What is Nasolabial and Marionette Filler?

Nasolabial and marionette fillers are hyaluronic acid-based fillers designed to soften deep lines in these areas and give the face a more rested and balanced appearance.
