As we age, many people notice that the corners of their mouth start to droop, creating a sad or tired appearance. This is often due to a combination of loss of collagen, skin laxity, and the natural pull of gravity. These lines, known as marionette lines, can deepen over time, making the lower face look heavier and less youthful.

So why does this happen?

Loss of Collagen & Elastin ” As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, leading to sagging and reduced firmness.

Fat & Bone Loss ” The natural volume in the lower face decreases, causing the skin to drop.

Overactive Depressor Muscles  These muscles pull the corners of the mouth downward, exaggerating marionette lines.

Sun Damage & Lifestyle Factors ” UV exposure, smoking, and dehydration all speed up the breakdown of collagen, leading to premature ageing.

How Can We Improve Drooping Mouth Corners & Marionette Lines?

At our Leeds & Bradford clinics, we offer tailored solutions to restore a firmer, more youthful  natural look:

 Dermal Fillers  Adding volume to the marionette area and lifting the corners of the mouth can soften lines and restore lost support in the lower face.

Best for: Immediate improvement with natural-looking results that last 9-12 months.

Skin Tightening with Focus Dual HIFU or Radiofrequency (Endymed) These treatments stimulate collagen production, tightening and lifting sagging skin without injectables.

Best for: Long-term firming and collagen renewal with no downtime.

Preventative Skincare  Zein Obagi Skin Firming & Growth Factor Serums ” Using advanced skincare at home can slow down collagen loss and maintain skin elasticity. If combined with Microneedling, these serums can penetrate deeper for enhanced firming effects.

Best for: Prevention & maintaining long-term skin health.
