Answer: Fillers Good news there is a treatment for your problem. Fillers such as Restylane Defyne may be used for the marionette lines and DAO (depressor anguli oris) which are lines that run from corner of nose down to the chin area. As far as these lines being gone permanently, filler is a temporary fix. The fillers may work well for you though, so it is worth a try. You may also be a candidate for dermabrasion to the area. You should visit a Plastic Surgeon for a consult to see if fillers or a surgical procedure would be better options to reach your goals.

Answer: Softening Marionette Lines The best way to treat the lines that run along the side of the mouth, more commonly known as marionette lines, would be with one of the hyaluronic acid fillers available today. If the folds are slight I would recommend Vollure or Restylane Defyne. If the folds are more severe, I commonly layer a filler that has more volume such as Juvederm Ultra Plus or Restylane Lyft, with a Juverderm Ultra or Restylane. The combination of the two really help to soften the lines and give a more youthful appearance. Treatment should be repeated about every 8 months as needed. Best of luck! Dr. Kaniff
