Marionette lines are caused by the loss of volume as well as the loss of collagen. Marionette folds are caused by three separate factors: gravity, loss of volume and the depressor muscles at the corner of the mouth.
Gravity is one cause and your face is affected by gravity every day. Over time you will begin to experience downward and inward movement of your cheeks and face. This results in your cheeks folding over to create marionette folds and the nose to mouth lines.
Next is volume loss and this is the second biggest factor contributing towards the lines and folds. The skin becomes much thinner and the bone resorbs. So think of your skin as the canvas and when the bone resorbs the skin folds over.
