Anatomical-based diagnosis and filler injection techniques: marionette line (static labiomandibular fold) by Gi-Woong Hong, Sky Wong, Song-Eun Yoon, Jovian Wan, Kyu-Ho Yi

“…Anatomical observations focus on the position of the modiolus and its relationship to age-related changes. Treatment approaches are examined through a review of filler injection techniques, including supramuscular and submuscular fat layer targeting, as well as neurotoxin use for enhancing treatment outcomes.Results The review finds that the anatomical positioning of the modiolus in Asian populations predisposes them to increased susceptibility to commissural ptosis and wrinkle formation. …”
