Smooth and Restore with Restylane® Defyne & Refyne
At Lumier Medical in Torrance, we specialize in softening marionette lines with dermal filler to restore a more lifted, youthful appearance. These lines, which extend from the corners of the mouth toward the chin, can deepen over time, making the face appear tired or downturned.
Using advanced hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane® Defyne and Restylane® Refyne, our expert injectors smooth away creases while maintaining your natural movement and expression. These next-generation fillers flex with your facial dynamics, allowing you to smile, speak, and express yourself beautifully.
Our before and after gallery showcases real patient transformations that highlight how subtle enhancements can dramatically rejuvenate the lower face.
With more than 20 years of experience in cosmetic injectables, Lumier Medical combines artistry and precision to create results that look natural, balanced, and authentically you.

Real Patient Results: Marionette Lines Before & After
These results demonstrate how thoughtful treatment can:
- Soften deep creases around the mouth
- Reduce a downturned or heavy appearance
- Improve lower-face support and contour
- Restore smoother transitions between the cheeks, mouth, and jawline
- Maintain natural facial movement and expression
In many cases, treating marionette lines involves addressing surrounding areas such as the cheeks, jawline, or chin—not just the lines themselves.

After Treatment: What Natural Results Should Look Like
When marionette lines are treated appropriately, results should be:
- Softer—not completely erased
- Balanced with the rest of the face
- Free of puffiness or heaviness
- Natural in both static and animated expressions
- Supportive of long-term facial structure
Most patients experience minimal downtime, with mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a few days.
Dr. Lum’s Philosophy on Treating Marionette Lines
Directly filling marionette lines alone can sometimes worsen lower-face heaviness. Dr. Lum takes a more comprehensive approach.
His philosophy includes:
- Treating the cause, not just the line
- Using conservative amounts of filler
- Supporting adjacent structures (cheeks, jawline, chin) when appropriate
- Avoiding overfilling that distorts natural expression
If filler isn’t the right approach—or if other treatments would provide a better outcome—that will be discussed openly.
