I recently turned 40 and am becoming increasingly self conscious about marionette lines, and shadowing, particularly on one side. A month ago, I had 1 ml of Restylane injected into marionettes and jaw area, with an additional 1 ml injected into the mid face are, but I barely notice a difference. Would more Restylane help? If so, how much? What else could I do to help correct these? Thanks so much.

Answer: A few options Tough to say based on just your photos and description. 1mL may not have been enough, or it may not have been injected into the optimal place to address your oral commissures and marionette region. More filler could help, though personally I wouldn't use Restylane in that area for a number of reasons. Another good option is fat grafting to this region and anywhere else you need volume restoration.

Answer: Marionette Lines and Shadowing - would Restylane help? Great series of posted photos. Three issues: #1. Under treated in amounts of HA filler use. I would have recommend 2 sessions about 2 weeks apart using a total of 4-6 syringes. #2. Wrong type HA filler. You have lower G' prime HA filler, I would use higher G' filler, like Juvederm Vollure. #3. Maybe a minor anterior facelift wth SMAS plication and filler to lift the peri oral mounds. Best to virtual consult with...
