Mouth corner filler at Forever Young Spa. Fills marionette lines and lifts the lower face with hyaluronic acid filler. 262 Beacon Street, Suite 3.
Marionette lines create a downturned expression at rest — volume loss and muscle descent pull the mouth corners toward the chin. Filler placed along the groove lifts the corners and softens the line. Combined lower-face treatment addresses the structural cause for more natural, longer-lasting results. Complimentary consultation included.
Marionette lines form from two overlapping causes. The treatment approach depends on which is dominant — and the most natural results often address both.
Direct Fold Filler
Filler placed directly in the marionette groove fills the crease and provides immediate lift at the mouth corner. This is appropriate when the fold is the primary complaint and the surrounding lower face has adequate volume. A conservative amount of product achieves a natural result without adding visible puffiness.
Combined Lower Face Approach
When volume loss in the chin, pre-jowl sulcus, or lower cheek is contributing to the marionette fold, combined treatment produces a more natural result. Restoring the structural foundation around the fold — rather than just filling the groove — lifts the corners from below and prevents over-filling of the fold itself.
Product quantities depend on line severity and whether a combined lower-face approach is the right plan. Your injector will determine this at consultation.

Marionette lines are vertical folds that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin — named for marionette puppets with jointed jaw sections. They form from a combination of volume loss in the lower face, descent of the midface fat pad, and repeated movement of the depressor anguli oris muscle that pulls the mouth corners downward. Deep marionette lines can give the appearance of a frowning or dissatisfied resting expression even when the face is neutral.
Filler placed along the marionette line fills the groove and lifts the corner of the mouth. The most effective treatment combines fold filler with chin and pre-jowl volume restoration — addressing the structural deficit that allows the line to form, not just filling the groove itself. Your injector will assess whether a combination approach produces the most natural result for your specific anatomy.
Marionette line filler typically requires 0.5 to 1 syringe per side (1 to 2 syringes total). Mild marionette lines treat with 1 syringe total; deeper lines use 1 to 2 syringes. Combined treatments addressing the chin and pre-jowl area may use an additional 0.5 to 1 syringe.
Marionette line filler typically lasts 9 to 12 months. The lower face has significant muscle activity from speaking and chewing, which causes filler in this area to metabolize faster than in less active areas. Consistent maintenance before the filler fully dissolves often requires less product over time.
Marionette line filler is priced per syringe at $700 to $900. A typical treatment uses 1 to 2 syringes ($700 to $1,800). Combined lower face treatments (marionette plus chin) use 1.5 to 2.5 syringes ($1,050 to $2,250). Members receive 15% off. A complimentary consultation includes a complete lower face assessment and a specific treatment plan.
