Parentheses Lines

Some individuals develop lines that arc around the corners of the mouth and look somewhat like a set of parentheses.  These lines are usually an extension of nasolabial folds.   They are often shallow, fine lines that are treated much the same way as the marionette lines, with advanced dermal fillers, such as Juvedermtm or Restylane®.  The filler is usually placed along the line to help lift and fill the line.

As with other lines in this area, patients may see subtle improvement of parentheses lines with liquid face lift treatment of other facial areas, such as the cheeks.  Liquid cheek augmentation, for example, will oppose some of the sagging that contributes to lower facial wrinkles.
