Restylane: Q&A
Ask a QuestionIs Restylane Best for Marionette Lines?
I'm 35 years old, and I have several medium marionette lines on the sides of my mouth. It almost looks like my face is gaunt (especially in the cheek area), and it doesn't help that I have a narrow face. I have been looking into fillers--namely Restylane. Is this treatment best for someone like me, or should I go for other fillers?

Restylane for marionette (smile) lines
Great photograph! You've got a beautiful smile. I can see the area you wish to improve. While a personal consultation is always best, it appears that you can benefit from a Restyalne treatment to the area. Other dermal-fillers, such as Perlane, Juvederm, or Radiesse can also be used to treat the smile-lines. If you are pleased with the results of the temporary dermal-fillers, you may want to consider using Artefill (a semi-permanent filler) for your...

Quit smiling!
It would be interesting to see your face in repose- with no facial expression- to get a sense of the depth of your Marionette lines, and to see if you have a pre-jowl sulcus.
A fine marionette line can be filled with virtually any filler. I'm favoring Evolence for this application because of its ease of injection and longevity.
If you do have a pre-jowl sulcus- this tends to deepen the appearance of a marionette line, in my opinion. In patients with both problems- I will treat the pre-jowl...

Restylane for Marionette Lines
Thank you for the question and the great picture. Restylane is a great option for marionette lines, as well as other folds or hollow areas of the face (such as nasolabial folds, the under-eye area, etc.). This product is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), just like Juvederm, Perlane, and Belotero. The differences between these have to do with crosslinking and viscosity (thickness and flow). This type of filler can last between 6 and 9 months in most patients. Radiesse is a different...

Restylane is the ideal filler for age 35-44 to treat marionette lines
Restylane is a lovely filler, particularly for your age group. It will fill in the hollows and the marionnette lines in a cosmetically elegant wasy. If you have deeper hollows then you might require a little Juvederm or Perlane. The key is to find an experienced injector who will give you the best cosmetic results. Please let me know how it turns out!

What is best for the marionette lines
Well, this is difficult to answer. The simple reason being is that no one product is best for everyone. Treatment decisions must be made for an individual and, in the case, one size does not fit all.
For the most part, Belotero, Juvederm Ultra, and Restylane are great for mild marionette lines. For moderate lines Perlane, Juvederm Ultra Plus, and Radiesse are often good options. For deeper lines, facelift may be best, but Radiesse or Perlane may help.
The bottom line...

Is Restylane Best for Marionette Lines
Restylane works well on marionette lines but I prefer Juvederm Ultra Plus because it has thicker particles and I like the result.

Restylane is a great choice for marionette lines. It fills in the area very well and looks very natural , without looking lumpy or bumpy. Other choices include Perlane, Juvederm Ultra Plus, and Radiesse. Dr. Behnam.

Marionette Line Treatment
Judgment of Marionette Line significance is best performed without smiling. At 35, yours are probably such early changes that virtually any filler will do the trick. I tend to use Radiesse because it is more cost-effective over time, particularly when the sole issue is volume. Hope this helps.

Marionette line fillers
Restylane is an excellent choice for Marionette lines. However other fillers give the same results but with potentially more longevity for the same or slighter higher cost (e.g. Radiesse). Each filler has its own properties which might make it a better choice for you. A thorough evaluation by an experienced practitioner is necessary, and I would be happy to discuss the options with you. Have a nice day!
