Marionette lines are the shadows that start from the corner of the mouth and run down towards the jawline, either side of the chin. They look like the lines on marionette dolls and hence are often described as marionette lines. Loss of skin collagen and loss of mid-face volume causes the skin on the face to descend down towards the jaw. This results in the formation of jowls and marionette lines.
Marionette lines can be treated effectively using dermal filler. Dermal fillers are injected in the area between the chin, jawline and corner of the mouth to re-contour the area, provide support to the corners of the mouth and reduce the appearance of the marionette shadows. As with all our treatments at Drs Tatiana + Rishi Advanced Aesthetics, we aim for a natural and subtle result that suits the proportions of your face.

How to prepare?
At the Dr Tatiana Clinic’ to ‘at Drs Tatiana + Rishi Advanced Aesthetics, we ensure that only highly trained doctors or surgeons carry out dermal filler treatments, so you can be sure that you are getting the highest possible standard of care. When considering a dermal filler treatment, we recommend that you start by booking in a consultation with the doctor. During the consultation we will assess the area of concern, answer any of your questions, show you examples of our work and develop an effective treatment plan for you.
On the day of treatment your doctor will confirm the treatment plan, take you through the consent process and take some pre-treatment photographs. The skin will be cleaned and numbing cream will be applied. Once the area is numb, the doctor will start the treatment. The process of injection is normally no longer than 10 minutes. After treatment, the doctor will apply aftercare cream, massage the filler and show you the results. We will also discuss how best to look after the area that has been treated. The receptionist will then offer you a review appointment and send you an email confirming the aftercare instructions.
Dermal filler treatments are suitable for restoring lost volume and enhancing features. If this is a treatment that you are considering, we advise that you speak to one of our experienced doctors for advice. Fillers are suitable for any skin type.
There are several circumstances in which fillers would not be advised: pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain health problems, active acne or infection in the area of treatment, history of allergy to dermal fillers or other products used in the treatment. The suitability of treatment will be discussed during your consultation.
Dermal fillers do not require a patch-test.
Optimal results can often be achieved in one to two sessions. If you require further treatment, then this is normally done after 2 weeks to allow any swelling or bruising to dissipate.
The longevity of results will often depend on the area treated, product used and individual metabolism. On average, most patients will only need to repeat treatment once every 9-12 months.
The injections themselves are not painful. We provide numbing cream, numbing injections and skin cooling to minimise any discomfort. Most of our dermal fillers also have anaesthetic mixed in with the filler in order to provide further pain relief.
As with any injection, it is possible that you may experience some redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising. These may take a 2-3 days to resolve and bruises sometimes longer. We advise that you don’t plan treatments around important commitments and allow at least 2 weeks between treatment and an important social or work event.
Our injectable treatments are performed by fully trained and experienced doctors and surgeons. You can rest assured that you are getting the highest standard of care by every member of our team.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Teosyal, Stylage, Restylane and Belotero can be dissolved. Dissolving involves and injection of water that contains Hyaluronidase enzyme. This enzyme disintegrates filler quickly and painlessly, to return your skin to normal.
We recommend that you avoid taking blood thinning tablets such as aspirin or ibuprofen (unless prescribed by your doctor) for 3 days prior to treatment. We also advise avoiding alcohol intake for 24 hours prior to treatment. It is also important that you are available for follow-up after treatment, so we recommend not to book injectable treatment if you are travelling in the next two weeks.
