Marionette Line Filler in Seoul |
Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic
Marionette lines can make you look sad or tired even when you feel fine. At Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic, Dr. Jung Yoo-jin uses filler to soften these lines and support the mouth corners for a more relaxed, approachable expression.
What is marionette line filler?
Marionette lines run downward from the corners of the mouth toward the chin, named after the hinged jaws of a puppet. They form as the lower face loses volume and support, and as muscles that pull the mouth downward become more active over time.
Marionette line filler uses hyaluronic acid filler to restore support beneath the lines and at the mouth corners, reducing the shadow and the downturned look.
Who is it for?
You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Lines or shadows running down from the mouth corners
- Downturned mouth corners that look unhappy at rest
- Mild volume loss beside the chin
Filler is not the whole answer when heavy jowls or significant skin sagging cause the lines; skin tightening or other options may be needed. Treatment is also postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infection or cold sores near the mouth, or a filler allergy.
Benefits
- Softens lines from the mouth corners
- Lifts a downturned, tired expression
- Restores lower-face support
- Works well with Botox and jawline treatments
Your treatment at EU:GENES
We begin with a doctor-led 1:1 consultation. Dr. Jung observes your mouth corners at rest, while talking and when smiling, and looks at the wider picture: jawline, chin and midface. Marionette lines often improve best when the areas around them are supported too.
The doctor performs the treatment herself, placing small amounts of filler under the lines and at the corners of the mouth, with careful attention to the facial vessels in this region. She may also suggest a little marionette lines Botox to relax the muscle pulling the corners down. You receive aftercare advice and WhatsApp follow-up.
Results and how long they last
Improvement is visible immediately and continues to settle over about two weeks. Because the mouth area moves a lot, results typically last around 6 to 12 months for most patients. Combining filler with Botox may help results look better for longer.
Downtime, aftercare and possible side effects
Expect some swelling, tenderness and possibly bruising around the mouth for a few days. Avoid excessive facial movement, pressing on the area, alcohol and strenuous exercise for about 24 to 48 hours.
Possible side effects include lumps, unevenness, and cold sore flare-ups in those prone to them. As with other facial areas, rare vascular occlusion can occur, so the doctor's knowledge of anatomy is important. Contact us immediately about severe pain or changes in skin color.
Frequently asked questions
Is marionette filler painful?
Most patients describe mild discomfort only. Numbing cream helps keep treatment comfortable.
Will I look like I have had work done?
Our aim is a relaxed, natural expression. Friends are more likely to say you look rested.
Can I treat smile lines at the same time?
Yes. Many patients combine marionette and smile line treatment for a balanced lower face, sometimes alongside jawline filler.
