Botox for Marionette Lines and Drooping Mouth Corners
Botox can help soften the downward pull around the corners of the mouth, improving the appearance of mild marionette lines and drooping mouth corners.
At rtwskin clinic in Tunbridge Wells, treatment is tailored after a facial assessment to determine whether Botox alone is suitable or whether a combined approach with dermal filler may provide a more balanced lower-face result.

What Problems Does the Service Solve?
This treatment may help with:
- Drooping mouth corners
- Mild marionette lines
- Downturned or sad-looking expression
- Lines running from the mouth towards the chin
- Early lower-face ageing
Botox is most suitable when the problem is caused by muscle pull rather than deeper volume loss.
How It Works
Botox works by relaxing the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward. This can help soften a downturned expression and improve the appearance of mild marionette lines.
However, if the lines are caused by volume loss or skin laxity, dermal filler may be recommended alongside or instead of Botox. Your practitioner will assess the lower face carefully before advising the safest and most effective option.
Which Areas Can It Treat?
-
Drooping Corners of the Mouth:
We use drooping mouth corners botox techniques to reverse downward tension and restore a softer, lifted appearance.
-
Jawline:
When combined with Jaw Lift, Botox can subtly contour the lower face and enhance symmetry.
-
Dimpled Chin Texture:
Treating the mentalis muscle alongside the DAO often improves chin puckering and irregularity.
-
Mouth Expression Lines:
Using botox for lifting corners of mouth, we gently restore a neutral or pleasant resting expression without adding bulk.
Botox or Filler for Marionette Lines?
Botox is useful when marionette lines are linked to downward muscle pull around the mouth.
Dermal filler is usually more suitable when the lines are caused by volume loss, deeper folds or loss of support in the lower face.
In many cases, the best result comes from a personalised approach rather than choosing Botox or filler before assessment.

Post-Treatment Care
Long-Lasting and Effective Results
Results from Botox usually begin to appear within a few days, with full effects developing within around two weeks. Results typically last 3–4 months.
If dermal filler is also recommended, improvement in volume and support may be visible immediately, with results lasting longer depending on the product used and individual response.
Why Choose Botox Marionette Lines at rtwskin?
At rtwskin clinic, Botox treatment for marionette lines is planned after a detailed assessment of facial movement, lower-face structure and skin quality.
This helps us decide whether Botox alone is appropriate or whether dermal filler may be needed for a more natural and balanced result.
Our focus is subtle correction, safe technique and avoiding an over-treated appearance.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
Treatment with botox for marionette lines is quick, safe, and requires no downtime. After assessing your facial anatomy and movement, we:
- Cleanse the area and mark injection points
- Use a fine needle to place Botox precisely into the DAO muscle
- Optionally treat the mentalis or nearby muscles for enhanced effect
- Review and guide your aftercare
The full procedure usually takes 15–20 minutes, and most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch.
