How much improvement can I expect from a Lower facelift with fairly significant marionette lines?When I hold my face where approximately I think it will look after surgery, I still see the lines. They become less severe, but somewhat horizontal. How often are some type of fillers needed with the surgery? Thank you.

Answer: Improving Marionette Lines with Lower Facelift? Hi, if you have beautiful cheek bones, a lower face lift with midface lifting, your jowls can be easily placed back to their proper position, that will give fullness to your midface, improve "marionette lines" and allow you a more youthful look.

Answer: Marionette lines after facelift Most people age in 3 major ways:1) Skin inelasticity: the skin sags or stretches over time. The best way to treat sag or excess skin is to remove it. In milder cases, the skin can be tightened with CO2 laser or Ultherapy.2) Volume loss: we lose volume in the form of fat, collagen, muscle bulk, and bone. As we age, we lose more. If the skin is tightened without restoring volume support to the skin, you get an overpulled look.3) Decrease in skin quality: after a facelift, the excess skin is removed. However, the skin that's left behind hasn't been rejuvenated. The skin thins as we age and we lose collagen in the dermis. Collagen can be replaced using a combination of Retin-A, Co2 laser, microneedling, etc. Marionette lines that persist after skin tightening occur as a result of poor skin quality or poor facial volume that needs to be added to address the other ways you may be aging.

Answer: Wrinkles Vs Folds As we age, the cheek moves downward against the relatively fixed tissue around the mouth and this causes folds of skin that we call nasolabial folds and marionette lines. A lower facelift will significantly improve marionette folds. However, lines that are "etched" into the skin in these areas will not go away with a lift alone, but require some type of skin resurfacing.You may test this yourself by pulling the skin of the cheek up and away from the marionette region. Any lines that remain will also remain after a lift.
