A considered assessment of lines extending from the corners of the mouth and the factors that contribute to them.
Duration
45 min
From
£350/ml
Treatment Summary
Marionette lines can relate to skin changes, volume distribution and facial movement. Treatment may involve filler for selected patients, but directly filling the line or treating the chin first is not always appropriate.
Also known as: marionette filler London · downturned mouth corner filler · lower face filler · oral commissure filler · sad mouth lines treatment
Key Benefits
Expected change and limitations
The aim is to reduce the appearance of a suitable concern while preserving natural expression. Filler cannot remove every crease, lift significant jowling or correct all causes of a downturned mouth.
Your consultation includes a review of your concerns, relevant medical history and treatment options. We will explain the likely benefits, limitations, risks and aftercare before any procedure is agreed.
Results and recovery vary between individuals. Treatment is offered only after an assessment confirms it is appropriate.
