Are these the start of marionette lines? I am 25. Are these from aging or genetics? Botox for corners? (photos)

Not sure if my lips are always this downturned or if my face is beginning to sag. I have a very asymmetrical face as you could see. And I see the start of a possible marionette line on one side. On both sides, however, there are these tiny lines fanning out of the cracks of my lips that go upwards and sideways. They might be pores but I can't tell.

Botox and the skin tightening work in different ways, so it's fine to have these two treatments within a few days of each other. Get the skin tightening first, and when your skin is no longer irritated, get the Botox.

Botox is a very popular non-surgical treatment for loose neck bands due to its effectiveness, often called Nefertiti Lift. Other neuromodulator like Dysport or Xeomin would not necessarily be as effective as Botox. It will help in tightening/lifting the neck bands and it will last for 3 to...

This treatment is usually needed 3-4 times a year.  However, you are asking more specific questions that really need a photograph or video to assess, also I suggest a formal consultation with a botox and filler expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your question. Botox and fillers can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles on the face but depends on factors such as skin laxity... You need to an in-person consultation to assess what procedures are necessary given your aesthetic goals. All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Thank you for your question.The amount of botox needed varies with every patient. Starting with 20 units is common, although more units maybe needed to achieve your goals. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation...

Without photos it is impossible for us to give you an honest opinion.  Sometimes fillers or botox can be used for brow elevation but not sure about the "corners" without seeing photos.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist or oculoplastic surgeon.  Best, Dr. Emer.
