Now in my 72 year, I have noticed that the lines either side of my mouth are deeper, in fact on one side where the folds of skin touch it is a bit irritated /sore, I am thinking ,would fillers help this, Do any GN ,s have these, have you had fillers or know of any one who has,I don't really want to start something that I will have to get done often as it would be too costly , Any advice out there please,

I've never heard the term Marionette Lines before .

Can you use that term for Crows Feet around your eyes?

It sounds so much nicer.

It does sound nicer doesnt it than crows feet, but i expect that is what they resemble, marionette lines are lines from mouth to chin
I definitely wouldnt go as far as lip fillers, even if i was young ,at least not to the extent some go, they look terrible, no wonder they call it a trout pout
The cheek fillers just pad your face out again where fat has gone from,and look very natural,if done properly
I think Rula Lenska in Coronation street has got them, but they look like wedges, not natural at all

The reason i got mine initially, was because on one side my nasolabial fold is quite pronounced ,due to bells palsy a few years ago,compared to the other side which is fine really, but it fills the fat pads in too
