Though commonly referred to as “laugh lines,” marionette lines (nasolabial folds) are not caused by years of laughing. These creases or folds form around your lower mouth as part of the natural aging process and can make you look sad and tired and older.
Genetics can play a role in how prominent they become, with some individuals developing a degree of marionette lines during childhood. At New York Skin & Vein Center, we use wrinkle fillers to support the natural fat pads in your temples, cheeks, and lower mouth to restore the natural shape of your face.
