Overview
The position of the oral commissure influences the natural beauty of the lips and is especially affected during the process of facial aging. The facial aging process causes the Marionette line to appear deeper and more severe which in return negatively affects the aesthetics of the lips. Learn from this video how to address the Marionette lines and the oral commissures in a combined cannula-based injection approach when using soft tissue fillers.
