Jowls & Marionette Lines Treatments
Treatments for Jowls and Marionette Lines
If the corners of your mouth turn downward or you experience lower facial sagging, these common aesthetic concerns are called marionette lines or jowling. As your skin ages and changes, you may feel less confident about your appearance.
For advanced treatment for jowls and marionette lines, turn to the providers at Berman Skin Institute in Northern California. We specialize in cosmetic dermatology and the use of dermal fillers to address these common aesthetic concerns. Schedule an appointment so that we can create a customized plan based on your goals and expectations.
Understanding Jowls and Marionette Lines
Youthful skin is thicker and more elastic due to plenty of collagen and fat. As we age, the loss of facial volume and the downward pull of gravity can take a toll along the lower jawline, resulting in jowls and marionette lines.
Marionette lines are vertical creases that run from the corners of the mouth to the jawline — named after the lines seen on marionette puppets. Jowling refers to excess skin and soft tissue that sags below the cheeks and chin.
These cosmetic issues are caused by many factors, such as:
- Changes in skin elasticity
- Fat loss
- Volume loss
- Genetics
- Sun exposure
If you want to treat the appearance of jowls and marionette lines without surgery, Cleveland Clinic suggests jawline fillers — available at Berman Skin Institute.
Injectable Filler for Jowls and Marionette Lines
We offer a comprehensive approach to lower face rejuvenation. Facial fillers are injectable treatments that can help reduce the appearance of marionette lines and sagging skin associated with jowls.
After a careful evaluation of your aesthetic concerns and unique facial structure, we can determine whether lines and folds can be treated individually or if a more comprehensive approach is needed. We also use your personalized consultation to determine which filler or combination of treatments is right for you, such as JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, RADIESSE® and Sculptra®.
Our experienced treatment providers do more than fill in creases. We use your tailored treatment plan to address what matters to you, such as:
- Restoring volume: Filler can restore appropriate chin volume and shape, providing structural support to the lower face.
- Contouring jawline: Chin filler for jowls along the anterior jawline sharpens the jaw’s contour and helps it appear firmer and more defined, smoothing jowls.
- Plumping creases: Directly injecting filler into and around marionette lines helps soften deep folds to create a more youthful, uplifted appearance.
