To rejuvenate the face and prevent the formation of marionette lines, one of the most popular requests currently is the application of Botox to the chin and corners of the mouth. Botulinum toxin acts on the muscles that keep this region in place and which, over time, loses its firmness. Thus, botox fulfills its role of “freezing” the muscles and, in this way, rebuilding and affirming your smile.
Among the consequences of the passage of time for this region are the loss of volume in the corner of the lower lips , giving the face a sad and tired look. Furthermore, that ugly orange peel appearance of the chin that some people have may appear, especially those with a slightly retracted chin, due to the constant contraction of this region.
Another problem that may arise is known as “marionette lines”, which are expression marks that run from the corner of the mouth to the chin, which may even be an extension of the Chinese mustache. Getting rid of them goes beyond aesthetics: these marks can compromise lip sealing, particularly causing harm when eating and causing food to leak from the mouth.
The ideal treatment is the already recognized filler with hyaluronic acid. This procedure softens the skin naturally, fills in expression lines and keeps the skin hydrated, firm and revitalized.
