What is the best method to make the marionette lines around the mouth smooth out without undergoing a major surgery? Thanks.

Although fillers of any type are temporary, most patients are quite happy with the results.  Radiesse does last longer than the hyaluroinc acids but requires the physician to be more precise, so seek out someone with experience.  If there are other facial concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles of the face, the Fraxel re:pair can treat the face and give mild tightening, and this may obviate the need or decrease the amount of filler that may be needed.  Discuss your goals with your physician so he/she can decide what is the vbest rout for you.
