Have you ever had someone ask you “why do you look so sad?” or “why do you look angry?” even though you feel great? If yes, you might be suffering from droopy mouth corners. These lines that run downward from the corner of the mouth and along the chin are called marionette lines and can often make you look grumpy and/or unhappy.
2. Pulling down of the mouth corner by muscles in the face and neck
3. Loss of volume in the face
4. Droopy buccal (cheek) fat
5. Overactivity of lower facial muscles
How We Gently Lift & Renew :
The two main treatments we use to treat marionette lines are the V-Line Power Lift, and the Botox Neck and Mouth Corner Lift
1. V-Line Power Liftis a 3-step process that works much like a facelift. It gently lifts the drooping areas of the face such as marionette lines, creating a younger and more radiant appearance. This lift can be accomplished through a combination of the three methods listed below, depending on your unique needs.
Mid facelift with Radiesse or Juvederm Voluma
Power facelift with Sculptra
Power lift with Ultherapy
2. Botox may be used to minimize lines around the mouth and relax the lower facial muscles. Neck bands can also be treated to keep from pulling down the corners of the mouth.
