Marionette lines filler
Cosmo Clinic Team
Marionette Lines Filler targets the downward lines that run from the corners of the mouth toward the chin – often contributing to a sad or tired expression. Using a volumising hyaluronic acid dermal filler, the area is gently lifted and smoothed to restore youthful contours and a more uplifted appearance.
At Cosmo Clinic in Lisbon, marionette line treatment is frequently combined with an assessment of the mid and lower face to address the contributing anatomy. Our doctors use filler to address root causes rather than treating the line superficially. Treatment takes around 30 minutes.

FAQ
What causes marionette lines?
They are caused by age-related volume loss and downward pull from facial muscles.
Will the result look natural?
Yes – our technique focuses on restoring harmony without overfilling.
Is there any recovery time?
Minimal downtime. Mild swelling or redness may occur and typically fades within a day or two.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes – it works well with jawline, chin, or nasolabial fold filler for a full lower-face rejuvenation.
Is marionette line filler painful?
A topical or local anaesthetic is applied before treatment. The filler used in this area typically contains lidocaine, which reduces discomfort during the injection. Most patients describe mild pressure rather than pain.
How long do marionette line filler results last?
Results typically last 9–15 months depending on the product used and individual metabolism. The marionette area is relatively low in movement compared to the lips, which supports longer-lasting results.
How much filler is typically needed?
The volume depends on the depth of the lines and the degree of tissue laxity present. Most patients require 0.5–1ml per side for meaningful improvement. Your doctor will assess this at consultation.
Can marionette line filler be combined with cheek filler?
Yes, and this combination is often recommended. Volume loss in the mid-face is a contributing cause of marionette line deepening — treating the cheeks addresses the underlying structural reason, while direct filler softens the line itself. Your doctor will advise on the most effective plan for your anatomy.
