Marionette filler before and afters for those considering

[harriethoyle]

So having done lots of research and read a few helpful threads on here, I finally took the plunge and got filler in my marionette lines. I’m thrilled by the result! And I thought for anyone contemplating it a blow by blow account might be helpful.

I opted for numbing cream and had it applied an hour beforehand. My injector used a cannula which meant only one injection site on each side and no bruising. She was very gentle and it was honestly almost pain free save for a couple of pinches. Used 1ml of filler in total and apparently should last c9 months. If I’d known how straightforward and comfortable it was going to be I would have done it years ago!

pics are immediately before and two days after so still slightly swollen - apparently in a week it should be totally settled. Line areas feel slightly firm but nothing intrusive.

Can really see the difference. I think it looks great.

Thank you, I have been considering this and will do it now!

That looks so good, thanks for sharing.

Thanks @ringsnthings @Whoops75 !

@Irememberwhenitwasallfieldsroundhere if you're anywhere near Yorkshire happy to DM you my practitioners details, she's very good.

Looks great, OP.

Can I ask how much it cost and how longs it’s likely to last?

Great result.

Looks good

Looks great. I will be doing this soon. Can you tell me where the filler was put in. I think the nurse I will be going to puts it into the cheekbones for marionette lines.
Also could you tell me how much it cost.
So glad it went well for you.

That downturn of your mouth at the corners has totally gone hasn't it. Looks great.

Looks really good

Looks good! Thanks for sharing.

Looks really great! Thank you for sharing

I would love to do this.. looks great OO.

can i ask how much you paid? I’m in London so imagine it will be more expensive here.

looks very natural - happy you're pleased

Does the lower cheek swelling disappear? I can see a slight difference but the cheeks look a little hamster like currently.

It does look good.

What happens to the filler though - where does it go?

A friend of mine has been using filler for years and her face is all lumpy now - the filler doesn't go away it has just moved to other random places on her face & is very noticable.

It looks nice. Your mouth has definitely lifted and your skin looks smoother.

I hope you don't mind me saying so but you have lovely shaped lips!

Looks really good. You've got really nice shaped lips with that very strong cupids bow! 😍

So it costs £262 including a follow up appointment and should last for 9-12 months.

@BeSnugEagle she made the entry hole for the cannula just under the side of my lips, and then fanned the product in a sort of wedge shape to either side and under the lines. So a shape like a trivial pursuit piece!

Yes @user1497787065 the swelling goes after a week and this is after 2 days - apparently this filler inflates as it takes on moisture and then gradually settles down over the week after the procedure.

Thanks @honeylulu my DM always said that they were the things she was proudest of making in me 😆

Eeek @RobinEllacotStrike I hope I avoid that although I don't intend to become a filler junkie 😂

Could you show yourself smiling?

I've been looking into this too, so thanks for the thread OP!

I agree, it does look good but who knows where it will all end up. They all say it just disolves but it doesn't, it just move around. A friend of mine has also done cheek fillers for years, her fillers ended up in her jowls giving her a bulldog cheeks basically. I remember seeing a picture of someone that they had scanned and the fillers were still floating around in all the wrong places. I think you can dissolve them using needles and basically sucking the filler out again if it goes very wrong but sometimes that's hard to do if it's small amounts everywhere. I guess that's why some people get pillow face. Even Jennifer Aniston had that for a while.

From what I have heard, fat grafting is a better option as you are not injecting foreign substances and it doesn't migrate.

looks good!

but as a pp said: can you please post a picture with you smiling? Thanks! :)

Argh I don’t really like my smile but will oblige for the greater good 🤣 I’ve tried to find a pre filler photo for comparison too

Can I ask how old you are?
