Question:
What is the best filler for treating marionette lines?
Answer:
There is not one best filler for marionette lines. It is a personal choice by physician and patient. Some physicians prefer Juvederm over Restylane and Restylane Lyft while others the contrary. The three classes for fillers that we use are hyaluronic acid fillers which include the ones mentioned, calcium hydroxyl apetite (Radiesse), and Sculptra. Each of these fillers is appropriate for marionette lines. Radiesse feels a little more firm than the HA fillers, but it may last slightly longer. Sculpra requires multiple injections to achieve the result, but because it produces the result from your body producing collagen, the results are much longer than the other fillers.
