I've always disliked how my left side has a deeper more noticeable marionette line that creates a shadow. I've always had big cheeks even when I was underweight, and I do know my jaw is uneven and makes my face and smile uneven but the lines has gotten worse as I've aged (I'm 28) and I don't know what the best way to go about fixing this is. Fillers? Botox? Facelift? Or a combination of things. Not sure what options I have or what would give me best results.

Answer: Cheeks The answer may be multifactorial depending on the physical exam. If you have excellent quality skin, fat grafting alone may be the solution. If the skin is too loose, the correct answer would be likely facelift/necklift with facial fat grafting. I would highly recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and accurate analysis with safe recommendations for potential surgical options. Best of luck!

Answer: Marionette lines: what to know about the different solutions Hello, and thank you for providing images along with your question. While a proper evaluation of your skin is necessary to recommend the best treatment options, nasolabial folds and marionette lines can usually be addressed using dermal fillers. Fillers can be injected to either directly fill the fold or by filling the cheek to lift the fold. Fillers may also be injected to treat marionette lines by restoring volume to the areas beneath the wrinkles, smoothing out deep lines and giving the skin a lift to create a younger-looking appearance.

Answer: Improve Marionette Lines Thank you for your question and photo submitted. Based off your information provided and your age range, you could achieve correction with less-invasive options than a facelift. If the facial fullness is causing drooping and folding, you could be a good candidate for a Buccal Fat Pad removal procedure, and possibly the introduction of some facial fillers to the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. A secondary option would be a surgical approach, in which facial or neck/jowl liposuction can take down the extra volume and give you a more contoured face and jawline. There are multiple options to consider, but your goals are achievable! The next step to take would be finding a qualified and experienced Board Certified plastic surgeon to do a full facial evaluation and provide you with a designated treatment plan to reach your desired goals.
