“…Although aesthetic standards differ among different ethnicities and cultures, the universally recognized beauty of the lip is a proportionally larger upper lip with more protruding projection and a shorter philtrum. 5,6 Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid, silicone, or fat such as vascular embolism and hypertrophic scar hinder the operative effect. 7,8 As a more minimally invasive treatment, conventionally, BTA is used to reduce the perioral wrinkles.…”

A plump lip is the symbol of youth and glamorousness. Influenced by sun damage, genetic factors, and smoking, aging will cause volume loss and perioral wrinkles to the lip. 1 Lip augmentation with dermal filler is frequently performed to offset the age-related changes and provides a more attractive appearance. 2 Botulinum toxin A (BTA) is a naturally occurring polypeptide chain molecule derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. By blocking the release of acetylcholine at the myoneural junction, BTA inhibits the contraction of orbicularis oris muscle and improves perioral wrinkles. 3 The paralyzed effect that BTA has on the orbicularis oris muscle results in the eversion of the lips and achieves an augmented outcome. 4 This study presents three cases of BTA injection to the lip and evaluates the possible changes in the labial morphology and surface area. 2 | C A S E REP ORT Three individuals (two females and one male) with no previous BTA treatment, with a mean age of 28.7 ± 5.5, received a total of 4U BTA (BOTOX ® , Allergan; 40 U/mL) with 1 unit at each site. The injection sites were located symmetrically at the vermilion border of the upper lip at the dermis level (Figure 1). Vectra ® H1 3D imaging system (Vectra M3, Canfield Scientific Inc) was used to capture 3D photographs of the patients with mouth gently closed in a neutral

“…The upper lip is delimited upwards by the nose, downwards by the mouth horizontal axis, and laterally by the nasolabial folds. 2 The upper lip has anatomical sub-units that need to be known and preserved when treating the lips with hyaluronic acid fillers.…”

“…Voluminous dry red lips are perceived as more attractive in several studies and a short upper white lip is highlighted as a criterion of beauty and youth. 2 On frontal view, an ideal height ratio of the midline upper to lower vermillion in white individuals has been previously defined as 1:1.6 based on the golden ratio. 2,4,5,6 This can vary with patient desire and ethnicity and some studies reported that this ideal ratio can range between 1:1 and 1:1.6 with a ratio closer to 1:1 being more suitable for individuals of African ethnicity.…”

“…Lips are considered one of the most important features of facial aesthetics due to their central position in the face and their elemental role in verbal and nonverbal interaction, being able to communicate emotion, even while the face is at rest. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Lip shape, contour, fullness and projection play a major part in overall composition of facial aesthetics and outward appearance and are intrinsically linked to selfperception of attractiveness, self-esteem, and social confidence. 5,6 The importance of the lip in overall facial aesthetics has an impact on positive self-image and self-confidence.…”

Background: The lips and perioral region are a highly dynamic anatomic area of the face and its anatomy and measurements will vary from patient to patient. In many years of clinical practice and as trainers for other injectors we have noticed that the assessment of this region is also very variable regardless of the experience of the injector. Objectives: The goal of this article is to provide a tool for assessment of the lower face and perioral area in other to simplify cosmetic treatments and help injectors identify what needs to be addressed in each patient. Methods: Over the last few years, weanalyzed the most common concerns of every patient presenting for treatment of the lips and perioral area and the most frequent areas addressed in the treatment of the lower face, and organized them into a tool that was able to systematize the different levels of attention needed in each particular area, guiding injectors towards a better final result. As trainers for other injectors, we also analyzed the most difficult aspects of the perioral assessment and simplified them into this tool that can help even novice injectors to do the correct diagnosis and therefore achieve better results while treating the perioral area. Conclusions: We believe that this tool will help both experienced and young injectors in the assessment of the lips and perioral area prior to treatment and in doing so, will provide a better outcome and cosmetic result.

3D face reconstruction is the most captivating topic in biometrics with the advent of deep learning and readily available graphical processing units. This paper explores the various aspects of 3D face reconstruction techniques. Five techniques have been discussed, namely, deep learning, epipolar geometry, one-shot learning, 3D morphable model, and shape from shading methods. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of 3D face reconstruction using deep learning techniques. The performance analysis of different face reconstruction techniques has been discussed in terms of software, hardware, pros and cons. The challenges and future scope of 3d face reconstruction techniques have also been discussed.
