      Frequently
      Asked
      Questions

      View All
      Here are some frequently asked questions about treating marionette lines and drooping mouth corners. If you're unsure whether this treatment is suitable for you, we're here to guide you.
      What causes drooping mouth corners?

      Drooping mouth corners are typically caused by natural ageing, reduced skin elasticity, and repeated facial movements. Volume loss and changes in muscle activity in the lower face also play a role.

      Can Botox treat marionette lines?

      Yes, Botox can relax the muscles that pull the mouth corners downward. It is often combined with dermal fillers to address both muscle movement and volume loss for optimal results.

      Is the treatment painful?

      Most patients experience only mild discomfort. We use a fine needle and can apply a topical anaesthetic to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

      How long do the results last?

      Botox results typically last 3–4 months. If dermal fillers are used, the effects may last longer depending on the area treated and the product used.

      Am I suitable for this treatment?

      Suitability depends on your skin condition, medical history, and personal goals. A face-to-face consultation allows us to assess your needs and recommend the safest, most effective approach.
