LIPS · ILLUSTRATED 3D RECOVERY
Marionette-Line Filler: before & after and recovery stages
Compare fixed example grooves below the mouth corners with partial softening as early swelling fades. The lip border stays the same.
SUMMARY
What this example shows
Local volume partly softens fixed illustrative grooves below the mouth corners. The lip border and central chin remain unchanged; this is separate from lip filler and a lower-face lift.
STAGE BY STAGE
Marionette-Line Filler recovery stages
Starting volume
The reference has no added filler volume or injection reaction.
The same face settings are used throughout the comparison.
1 hour after: Added volume
Added contour is already present beneath the early swelling and color.
Immediate-volume fillers differ from gradual collagen stimulators. One hour is an illustrative comparison point.
First day: Volume with swelling
More temporary fullness overlaps the same added contour in this example.
Swelling, redness and bruising can change after the injection.
Around 2 weeks: Volume after settling
Less swelling and color reveal the retained contour.
This comparison is not an individual recovery deadline or an assessment of filler placement.
TIMELINE
Day-by-day checkpoints in the 3D model
The simulator interpolates between these authored checkpoints. They describe the illustration, not measured clinical averages.
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
The added contour is present with a small early injection response.
Temporary fullness overlaps the added contour.
The example retains some swelling and discoloration.
Less temporary fullness exposes the illustrated shape.
A quieter surface is shown; this is not an individual recovery deadline.
Product, placement and individual response determine persistence.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
How recovery can vary
Timing and response
Volume, skin laxity and movement contribute differently to this area. This example does not raise the mouth corners or reproduce a lower-face lift.
Longer term
Filler persistence depends on the product and area. The one-month contour does not forecast duration or a repeat-treatment date.
