Consultation for Marionette Lines & Mouth-Corner Concerns
Consultation for Marionette Lines & Mouth-Corner Concerns
At epiclinic®, we offer medical consultations to discuss concerns such as marionette lines (the lines that descend from the mouth corners) and down-turned mouth corners. A registered health professional will review your goals and medical history, examine facial anatomy (including skin quality, volume support and muscle activity), and—if appropriate—outline a personalised plan. Suitability and outcomes vary between individuals.
Common contributors we assess
- Age-related changes in skin elasticity and dermal support
- Volume changes in adjacent regions (mid-face, lips, chin)
- Muscle balance influencing mouth-corner position
- Lifestyle and sun exposure factors affecting skin quality
What to expect at your consultation
- Assessment: Review of goals, medical history and current medications; examination of perioral skin, lines at rest vs with expression, and lower-face proportions.
- Discussion: If clinically appropriate, your practitioner will explain suitable non-surgical options, expected review timeframes and after-care.
- Informed decision-making: We discuss potential benefits, risks and alternatives so you can choose what’s right for you.
Any discussion of prescription-only medicines can only occur during a consultation. We do not advertise these products or their prices.
Factors your practitioner considers
- Whether lines are primarily static (visible at rest) or dynamic (movement-related)
- Contribution of mid-face support to lower-face folds
- Lip and chin balance that can influence mouth-corner appearance
- Your preferences for subtle vs more noticeable change
Risks, side effects & precautions (general)

Less common risks, contraindications and precautions (including pregnancy, breastfeeding or relevant medical conditions) will be discussed before any treatment.
