Filler in this area can effectively reduce lines by restoring volume.
Dermal fillers are commonly utilized for the marionette area. However, it is crucial to recognize that, in many cases, addressing the upper face is also necessary for comprehensive restorative improvement.
This is because folds in the marionette area often result from sagging skin, which occurs when volume is lost in the upper face.
Depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals, these enhancements can range from subtle to more pronounced.
Typically, most dermal fillers contain 1 cc of hyaluronic acid per syringe, which is equivalent to 1/5th of a teaspoon. While the amount of filler needed varies based on the desired outcome, on average, providers use 2–3 syringes for the marionette area.
