Marionette Line Filler

Marionette lines are the vertical lines that run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin. As facial volume naturally decreases over time, these lines can become more noticeable, sometimes creating a shadowed or downturned appearance around the mouth.

At You Derma in Ottawa, marionette line filler treatments are designed to soften these lines while preserving natural facial movement. By carefully placing dermal filler in targeted areas, our injectors restore subtle support to the lower face and smooth the transition between the mouth and chin. Results are visible shortly after treatment and continue to refine as the filler settles, leaving the lower face looking refreshed and naturally balanced.

Restoring Balance Around the Mouth

Marionette lines often develop due to a combination of collagen loss, facial volume changes, and natural skin laxity. Treating this area requires a thoughtful approach that focuses on restoring structure and balance rather than simply filling a line.

In many cases, treatment may also consider nearby areas such as the chin, jawline, or mid face to create a harmonious result. Our approach focuses on conservative placement that softens the appearance of marionette lines while maintaining natural expression and movement around the mouth. As the filler settles, the lower face appears smoother, more supported, and naturally refreshed.

Considering Marionette Line Fillers? Here’s What to Expect

1

Before your appointment

Your consultation begins with a detailed assessment of the lower face, including the depth of the marionette lines, chin projection, and overall facial balance. We evaluate how the corners of the mouth and surrounding areas contribute to the appearance of these lines and create a personalized treatment plan designed to restore support while preserving natural expression.
2

On the day of your treatment

Please arrive with clean skin and no makeup on the lower face. Marionette line filler treatments are performed using precise injection techniques to soften the lines and support the surrounding structure. Appointments are typically completed within 30 to 45 minutes, with comfort measures used throughout to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
3

After the treatment

Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur and usually resolve within a few days. Results are visible shortly after treatment and continue to refine as the filler integrates naturally into the area. As healing progresses, the lines appear softer and the lower face looks more balanced and refreshed.
