37, weight loss. Should I get filler in my marionette lines? (Photos)

Question

Hello I have lost 20lb over the last year and I feel that my face has lost volume specially around my mouth. What would be the best treatment for these lines. Im only 37 and feel 57

Thank you for sharing your photo and context. It’s very common to notice increased marionette lines and hollowness around the mouth after weight loss, especially when we start to lose midface volume. These changes can make us feel older than we actually are, even at 37.

For your marionette lines specifically, dermal fillers are often the most effective approach. They can help:

Smooth the lines from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin.

Restore volume lost in the surrounding areas, which helps prevent the “hollowed” appearance.

Give an overall lifted and refreshed look without surgery.

It’s important to assess the whole lower face because sometimes addressing the midface and cheeks with filler as well improves the results around the mouth. This ensures that the correction looks natural and not just “plumped in one spot.”

Other non-filler options like skin tightening or resurfacing treatments can complement fillers but won’t restore volume in the same way.

In short, for someone in your situation, carefully placed filler in the marionette lines (and possibly surrounding areas) can significantly improve the appearance and bring back a more youthful, rested look.
