Can Botox Be Used to Correct Marionette Lines? Is That Possible?

User Avatar

What's best for marionette lines? botox or fillers? I've heard a small amount of botox can be injected to correct marionette lines, is that true? If so, how about the tight feel it leaves? Is it safe? I had botox in between my eyebrows and crow's feet.I even like that tight feel it brings, but around the mouth area I feel it might be a different story. My doctor said I dont' need any correction to marionette lines, but suggested a small amount of botox there if I really insisted.
