Mouth to Chin (Marionette) Lines

When we look in the mirror, the fine lines and deep creases around our mouth are among the ones we find the most unattractive. They’re also the ones that other people are most likely to notice as people tend to watch our mouth as we speak.

Marionette Lines, aptly named as they resemble the mouth of a marionette puppet, are the lines that run from the corner of the mouth down to the chin and are a normal consequence of skin that eventually sags with age. These lines are typically associated with the very elderly so having them any earlier can make you look old well before you’re time.

For some it is not simply the loss of skin elasticity that contributes to the marionette lines but also a strong downward muscular pull of the corners of the mouth by the Depressor Anguli Oris muscle. By relaxing the action of this muscle with Botox^®, the corners of the mouth are able to lift up once again to a happier position.
