Short answer

Marionette lines are folds from the mouth corners toward the chin that can deepen with facial movement, skin changes, and loss of support.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What the lines can mean

These lines are a common facial change, not a diagnosis of illness. Repeated expression, reduced skin elasticity, sun exposure, and changes in facial volume may make the crease more visible. The depth and direction vary between people, and one side may look different from the other. A clinician can distinguish a surface wrinkle from a deeper fold or another skin concern during an examination.

Ways to soften their appearance

Use a gentle cleanser, moisturiser, and broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed skin. Avoid smoking and avoid repeatedly rubbing or irritating the area. If the fold remains bothersome, a qualified clinician may discuss options such as botulinum toxin injection or dermal fillers. Suitability depends on facial movement, skin quality, anatomy, medicines, and the result you want. Treatment should follow an assessment rather than a photograph alone.

When to seek care

Arrange a medical review if a line changes quickly, becomes painful, bleeds, crusts, swells, or is associated with a new lump, weakness, or numbness. Seek urgent care for sudden facial weakness, trouble speaking, or a severe allergic reaction. Otherwise, book a routine dermatology or aesthetic consultation if the change affects your confidence or you want to understand your options.

Questions for your doctor

Ask what is contributing to the fold, whether your skin care needs changing, which treatment matches your anatomy, how many visits may be needed, and what temporary effects or aftercare to expect.

Questions people ask

Are marionette lines the same as crow's feet?

No. Marionette lines extend beside the mouth toward the chin, while crow's feet are lines at the outer corners of the eyes.

Can skin care remove the lines?

Moisturiser and sun protection can improve comfort and the look of surface dryness, but deeper folds may need professional assessment.
