Hello,
I am Park Jeong-geun,
Director of Faceplus Plastic Surgery Clinic.
As we age, the marionette lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the jawline
are one of the first facial wrinkles that many people become concerned about.
These wrinkles are not simply due to skin aging but are caused by a complex interplay of changes in the position of muscles, fat, and tissues.
Therefore, improvement through regular skincare alone is difficult.
Recently, marionette line thread lift procedures, which offer natural recovery while considering overall facial balance, are gaining attention.
Today, we will provide detailed information on the procedure method, expected effects, precautions, and more.

1. Causes of Marionette Lines
Marionette lines are lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the chin, and they are particularly prominent in areas with frequent expressions and movements.
As the skin thins and loses elasticity, fat sags and muscles descend, causing the wrinkles to deepen.
Furthermore, the length and depth of wrinkles can vary depending on congenital skeletal structure and facial contours, necessitating personalized care.
2. Characteristics and Principles of Thread Lift Procedure
A thread lift is a procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift sagging tissues.
Specifically, threads used for marionette line improvement address areas with both wrinkles and sagging, while also promoting collagen production to enhance skin elasticity.
The procedure method is relatively simple, and since no incision is required, the recovery period is short, and natural results can be expected.
3. Expected Effects Before and After the Procedure
The effects that can be achieved through a marionette line thread lift are as follows:
Wrinkle Improvement and Sagging Reduction
The line extending from the corners of the mouth to the jawline becomes smoothly refined.
Natural Facial Contour Improvement
Without excessive pulling, the overall facial line is enhanced while maintaining existing expressions.
Skin Elasticity Enhancement
Thread stimulation promotes collagen and elastin production, making the skin appear more elastic and healthy.
Immediately after the procedure, swelling or minor bruising may occur, but most stabilize within 1-2 weeks.
4. Precautions and Suitable Candidates
A marionette line thread lift is suitable for anyone whose wrinkles are just beginning or are already deep,
However, if severe skin sagging is present,
or if combined with existing filler or Botox procedures,
a precise consultation and treatment plan with a doctor are necessary.
Furthermore, after the procedure, it is important to avoid strong pressure, strenuous exercise, and massage, and to manage the area to allow the tissues to stabilize during the recovery period.
Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do marionette lines appear?
Marionette lines appear as we age due to a complex interplay of skin aging, changes in muscle, fat, and tissue positions. Additionally, the depth of wrinkles can vary depending on congenital skeletal structure or facial contours.
How does a marionette line thread lift improve wrinkles?
A marionette line thread lift is a procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift sagging tissues upwards. The threads stimulate collagen production in the treated area, enhancing skin elasticity and providing the expected effect of simultaneously improving wrinkles and sagging.
How long is the recovery period after a thread lift?
Immediately after the procedure, swelling or minor bruising may occur, but most stabilize within 1-2 weeks. A relatively short recovery period is an advantage, allowing for a quick return to daily life.
What precautions should be taken after a marionette line thread lift?
After the procedure, it is advisable to avoid strong pressure, strenuous exercise, and massage. During the recovery period, it is important to care for the treated area to allow the tissues to settle stably.
What effects can be expected from a thread lift?
Through a thread lift, wrinkles extending from the corners of the mouth to the jawline are improved, and sagging is alleviated. Additionally, collagen production is stimulated, enhancing skin elasticity and providing the expected effect of natural facial contour improvement.
Is a thread lift possible even for severe marionette lines?
Yes, it is suitable for anyone whose wrinkles are just beginning or are already deep. However, if severe skin sagging is present, a precise consultation and treatment plan with a doctor may be necessary, possibly in conjunction with filler or Botox procedures.
