What is Mouth Wrinkle Surgery (Marionette Line Correction)?

Mouth wrinkle surgery, also known as marionette line correction, targets wrinkles and sagging skin that extend downward from the corners of the mouth, creating a sad or tired appearance. These lines deepen with age due to loss of skin elasticity, fat atrophy, and repetitive facial expressions. The procedure restores firmness and smoothness by removing excess tissue, tightening underlying structures, and repositioning skin for a youthful look.

Ideal for: This treatment is best suited for individuals with deep marionette lines that give a sagging, aged, or sad expression. It is recommended for patients who have not seen improvement from non-surgical methods such as fillers or Botox, and who want a more permanent correction.
