Smooth Downturned Corners, Lift the Lower Face, and Restore a Youthful, Balanced Expression

Marionette lines — the vertical lines that run from the mouth corners toward the chin — are a common aging concern among international patients visiting Seoul. These lines create a tired, downturned, or sad expression, even when the face is at rest.

Gangnam’s aesthetic clinics specialize in advanced, combination-based treatments that lift, fill, and tighten the lower face for a natural, refreshed, and more positive appearance.

Why International Patients Choose Gangnam for Marionette Lines

• Natural, subtle correction without heaviness
• Combination of fillers, lifting, and collagen treatments
• Safe for all facial shapes and skin tones
• Customized plans for volume loss, skin laxity, or deep folds
• Minimal downtime — perfect for travelers
• K-beauty approach that avoids overfilling

Gangnam treatments aim to soften lines while maintaining your natural expression and facial harmony.

What Causes Marionette Lines

• Volume loss in the midface
• Weakening supportive ligaments near the mouth
• Skin laxity around jawline and chin
