Best Treatment for Marionette Lines?
Hi Bellevue. We always hesitate to suggest a "best" treatment when it comes to injection products because each injector will have different opinions and preferences.
With that said, we tend to use Restylane more often than not around the chin, mouth and marionette lines. Perlane, Juvederm and Radiesse are also good options. Artefill can even be longer lasting, but you want to choose your injector carefully because of the long duration. We might even...

Radiesse or Artefill tend to last the longest for Marionette grooves.
Radiesse (lasts 1 yr) or artefill (lasts 4-5 yrs) are good choices for the oral commissures/marionette grooves. Cost runs about $630/syringe for radiesse and $1000/syringe for artefill. They can be done under local anesthesia and need 1-2 syringes in most cases. Sincerely,

Optimum Treatment for Marioneter Lines in the Corners of the Mouth?
Treatment needs to be individualized to each patient's presentation, anatomy and goals. Mild depressions at the corner of the mouth may be raised and smoothed with a variety of fillers (Restylane, Perlane etc).

Good Luck.
