I'm 35 years old, and I have several medium marionette lines on the sides of my mouth. It almost looks like my face is gaunt (especially in the cheek area), and it doesn't help that I have a narrow face. I have been looking into fillers--namely Restylane. Is this treatment best for someone like me, or should I go for other fillers?

Answer: Restylane for Marionette Lines
Thank you for the question and the great picture. Restylane is a great option for marionette lines, as well as other folds or hollow areas of the face (such as nasolabial folds, the under-eye area, etc.). This product is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), just like Juvederm, Perlane, and Belotero. The differences between these have to do with crosslinking and viscosity (thickness and flow). This type of filler can last between 6 and 9 months in most patients. Radiesse is a different material (calcium hydroxyapatite) and lasts a little longer (9 to 12 months). The key to getting the best treatment for you is having a positive relationship with a provider you trust -- that was you can work together to achieve the aesthetic results you want. Best of luck moving forward!

Answer: Is Restylane Best for Marionette Lines
Restylane works well on marionette lines but I prefer Juvederm Ultra Plus because it has thicker particles and I like the result.
