Smile Lines, Laugh Lines, Parentheses Lines, Marionette Lines. . .or Nasolabial Folds?
Which one is it? “Nasolabial folds” may not be a term that you hear often when talking about these facial folds. In fact, the colloquial term for this facial feature is smile or laugh lines. However, nasolabial folds can also be referred to as “parentheses lines”. Many people confuse marionette lines with nasolabial folds, and while they are closely related and often treated at the same time, they are slightly different as they refer to the long vertical wrinkles that form at each corner of the mouth and extend down to the bottom of the chin, lending to an unhappy look.
