Smooth marionette lines: Hyaluron for a fresh chin
As we age, the drooping corners of the mouth and the formation of marionette lines can make the face appear sad and grumpy. These wrinkles usually result from a loss of elasticity and volume in the lower half of the face and can significantly impact one's appearance. Marionette lines, also called Merkel lines, are particularly prominent because they divide the chin in half, similar to a marionette's.
An effective method for smoothing marionette lines is the injection of hyaluronic fillers. This technique restores lost volume, leaving the skin in the chin area plump and firm. With regular top-ups, this lifting effect can be achieved over time.
Who is marionette line injection suitable for?
Marionette line injections are suitable for men and women of all ages who notice that wrinkles are becoming increasingly visible around the chin area. Although skin aging begins around the age of 25, significant signs of sagging in the lower face often only become apparent around the age of 40. Marionette lines can appear earlier in cases of genetic predisposition.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to specifically smooth wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin's overall appearance. However, if the skin is more severely sagging, a surgical facelift may be necessary. This involves removing excess skin and tightening the chin.
Advantages of marionette line injections
Injecting marionette lines with hyaluronic acid is a quick, painless procedure with few risks. Within a short period of time, the wrinkle can be filled and smoothed, giving the face a fresh and youthful appearance – entirely without invasive procedures such as surgery. The results are immediately visible, and thanks to the temporary Durability of hyaluronic fillers, touch-ups can be performed as needed.
Another advantage is that the treatment leaves no permanent mark on the facial features. The effect of the fillers can be reduced over time, so the changes can be reversed at any time.
Procedure for marionette line injections
Preparation
Before injecting marionette lines, Dr. Christian Graß takes the time for a detailed consultation. Here, you'll learn everything about the origin of marionette lines and how they can be optimally treated. The treatment plan is individually tailored to your needs.
Special preparation on your part is generally not necessary. Any special precautions will be discussed during the consultation.
The treatment
Injecting marionette lines takes only a few minutes. After disinfection and a light anesthetic, the hyaluronic acid preparation is injected into the wrinkle area with a fine needle. This restores volume in a targeted manner to smooth the wrinkle. The treatment is carried out gradually, and several sessions may be necessary. After the injection, the area is briefly cooled.
The effect is visible immediately after treatment, although slight swelling may still occur at the injection sites. Once this has subsided, you can examine the final result.
Aftercare
After injections of marionette lines, no extensive aftercare is required. It is recommended to rest for the first few days after treatment and avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or tanning beds. The treated areas should be protected from direct sunlight.
It's important that you avoid applying pressure to your chin for the first 14 days to avoid compromising the results. Otherwise, the hyaluronic filler could shift and affect the outcome.
Risks of marionette line injections
The risks of marionette line injections are minimal compared to invasive procedures. Most side effects, such as mild redness, swelling, or minor bruising, subside quickly and can be concealed with makeup. Intolerances are extremely rare, as hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the body and is generally well tolerated.
For optimal results, however, it is crucial that the treatment is performed by an experienced specialist who can dose and administer the product correctly. In our practice, we take care to perform the injections as gently as possible to achieve a natural and harmonious result.
