Marionette Lines Treatment
Marionette lines are the vertical creases that can develop from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin and can often contribute to a downturned or more fatigued expression over time. As the skin naturally loses firmness and underlying support diminishes with age, these lines can become more defined and subtly alter the balance and harmony of the lower face.
At Dr BK Medical Aesthetics Clinic, we provide advanced non-surgical treatments designed to gently soften marionette lines while preserving your natural expression. Each approach is tailored to the individual, focusing on restoring subtle support and improving facial balance for a smoother, more rested appearance.
Expert treatment for marionette lines without surgery
We specialise in non-surgical treatments that focus on softening and restoring the appearance of marionette lines. Using advanced techniques, these treatments are designed to gently smooth deeper folds, support lost volume around the lower face, and improve the transition between the mouth and chin area. We can help you to reduce a downturned or heavy look while maintaining natural expression.
By carefully restoring structure where it has diminished, we can rebalance the lower face and create a more lifted, refreshed appearance. Every treatment is fully tailored, with a focus on subtle enhancement rather than alteration, to deliver natural-looking results without the need for surgery or downtime.

Why choose marionette line treatment with us?
At Dr BK Medical Aesthetics Clinic, marionette lines are assessed as part of the overall lower-face structure, as their depth is often linked to volume loss, skin laxity, and changes in facial support over time. Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation so we can understand how the lines are affecting your expression and recommend the most suitable approach for subtle rejuvenation.
You’ll benefit from:
- Personalised lower-face assessment: We evaluate the mouth-to-chin area in relation to overall facial balance to determine the most effective way to soften marionette lines.
- Targeted non-surgical correction: Treatments are selected to restore lost support, smooth deeper folds, and improve definition around the chin and jawline while preserving natural movement.
- Expert-led treatment planning: Under the care of Dr Bob Khanna, our focus is on precise, refined results that enhance the lower face without creating heaviness or over-correction.

Marionette line treatment FAQs
What causes marionette lines?
Marionette lines are caused by a combination of natural ageing, loss of collagen and volume, and changes in skin firmness. As facial support in the mid and lower face decreases, gravity and repeated muscle movement can deepen these folds. Genetics, lifestyle factors, and skin quality also play a role in how pronounced they become.
How to get rid of marionette lines
Marionette lines can be softened using non-surgical treatments. The most effective approach is usually restoring lost volume and support in the lower face, often combined with techniques that improve overall facial balance. This helps to reduce the depth of the lines and create a smoother transition between the mouth and chin area.
What is the best non-surgical treatment for marionette lines?
There are a range of non-surgical treatment options that can help soften marionette lines, depending on the underlying cause and the level of volume or structural change in the lower face. At Dr BK Medical Aesthetics Clinic, treatment is always guided by a personalised consultation, where we assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and goals before recommending the most suitable approach. This could involve restoring support, improving facial balance, or combining different techniques to achieve a subtle, natural-looking result.
Can Botox help with marionette lines?
Botox does not directly fill marionette lines, but it can help in certain cases by relaxing the muscles that pull the mouth downward. This can slightly reduce the downward tension and improve the overall appearance when used alongside other treatments such as dermal fillers.
How long does filler last in marionette lines?
Dermal filler results in marionette lines typically last between 9 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, individual metabolism, and the depth of correction required. Maintenance treatments can help sustain results over time.
Are marionette lines the same as smile lines?
No, they are different. Smile lines (nasolabial folds) run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, while marionette lines extend downward from the corners of the mouth towards the chin. Both can develop with age and are often treated together for overall facial balance.
At Dr BK Medical Aesthetics Clinic, we also offer a range of smile lines treatment options.
Can marionette lines be prevented?
Marionette lines can’t be completely prevented, but their development can be slowed with good skincare, sun protection, and treatments that support collagen production and skin quality. Early intervention with non-surgical aesthetic treatments can also help maintain facial structure for longer.
Do marionette line treatments look natural?
Yes, when performed correctly, the treatments are designed to subtly restore volume and support rather than change facial features. The aim is to soften the lines while maintaining natural expression and overall facial harmony.
