“…In total, 780 patients were enrolled in the nine studies. [ 8 , 12 , 29 , 33 , 45 – 49 ] In eight studies that reported descriptive gender data, 91.07% of the patients were women( n =683), 7.33% were men( n= 55) and 1.60% were transgender( n =12). [ 8 , 12 , 29 , 45 – 49 ] The mean age at treatment was 46.01 years with a range of 21 to 83 years.…”

“…Various techniques to lift the upper lip have been described in the literature, which may consist of injecting fillers [ 25 ] and lip lift surgical techniques [ 26 ], such as simple subnasal skin excision, subnostril skin excision, or even vermilion advancement [ 27 , 28 ]. Filler materials were first used to restore lip architecture and volume loss in the 1990s [ 29 , 30 ], whereas surgical interventions to lift upper lips began in the early 1970s, with a large series of cases reported ten years later [ 20 , 31 ]. Different excisions and more methods with fewer scars have gained interest from then on [ 32 ].…”

“…Some studies have mentioned that laser [ 35 ] and facial serum injections [ 36 ] can also shorten the upper lip, although the precise efficacy of these treatments cannot be confirmed due to the lack of quantitative evaluation. Even in research with objective measurement data, measuring procedures are not consistent [ 8 , 29 ]. The lack of uniformity in outcome reporting limited the evidence level to a higher one [ 37 ], as Hassouneh et al stated that inconsistency in result reporting was a significant impediment to the development of effective systematic reviews and meta-analyses comparing multiple surgical interventions in facial plastic surgery [ 38 ].…”

Different Techniques and Quantitative Measurements in Upper lip lift: A Systematic Review

Background The upper lip area is an important component of facial aesthetics, and aging produces an increase in the vertical height of the upper lip. Different upper lip lifting techniques are described in the literature. Objectives This systematic review aimed to assess both invasive and noninvasive upper lip lifting techniques with patient satisfaction, adverse effects, and quantitative measurements of lifting efficiency. Methods This study was conducted per PRISMA guidelines. MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE (OvidSP), and Cochrane Library database were searched from September 14, 2022, to October 12, 2022. Inclusion criteria were reporting on upper lip lift efficiency with quantitative measurements of the lifting degree. Results Out of 495 studies through the search strategy, nine articles were included in the systematic review, eight for surgical procedures and one for nonsurgical. Surgical procedures seem to have better longevity than nonsurgical techniques. Reported patient satisfaction for both surgical and nonsurgical treatments was good with no severe complaints. The quantitative measures differ between researches and may be classified into two metrics: anatomy ratio computation using photographic analysis or direct height measurement with a caliper and precise parameters utilizing a three-dimensional method. Conclusion In general, surgical therapies seem to have a longer-lasting lifting effect on upper lip lifts with an inevitable scar, while nonsurgical techniques are minimally invasive but temporary. There was a lack of consistency in the measurements used to assess lifting efficiency. A consistent quantitative assessment can be beneficial for both clinical decision-making and high-level evidence research.

“…We searched anthropometry papers for information on the position of the angulus oris in healthy individuals, but this search was unsuccessful. However, there were several papers on three-dimensional evaluations of the face or two-dimensional evaluations of sagittal sections [8][9][10]. We believe that the distance from the midline or from the nasolabial groove can be used as an index to determine the ideal position of the angulus oris.…”

Modification of the position of the angulus oris with a rotation flap and a YV flap in lip reconstruction

Functionally, the lip serves to prevent food and drink from spilling out of the beginning of the gastrointestinal tract, and it is also used for vocalization. In addition, the lip has cosmetic importance as part of the face involved in making expressions, and in many cultures, it is considered to be sexually appealing. The results of lip reconstruction procedures must therefore be both functionally and cosmetically satisfactory. When the orbicularis oris muscle and oral mucosa are excised, functional reconstruction is prioritized. In contrast, if there are no functional problems, cosmetic reconstruction is the main focus. This case involved the reconstruction of a right upper lip defect caused by a dog bite. When the skin defect was covered with a local flap, the right angulus oris shifted medially, so we incorporated a YV flap at the right angulus oris to modify its position and allow for a cosmetically satisfactory result. We believe that this method can be used not only for cases in which asymmetry of the angulus oris is expected to occur at the time of lip reconstruction, but also for cases in which it has already occurred in the initial operation.

“…Facial features have been correlated for centuries with a wide range of beliefs and superstitions, most of them considering symmetry and prominent upper vermillion border to be signs of a long and fruitful life . Lips play a key role as a central element in expressing emotions, in social interactions and in defining oneself identity.…”

Summary The authors of this review present a comprehensive assessment of the techniques and indications in the treatment of the long upper lip. Setting aside the maxillofacial malformations, the review is focused on senescence as the most frequent etiology. A graphical reminder of the anatomical entities and of the upper lip proportions allows optimal preoperative planning. All current treatment options, from fillers to surgical excision and dermabrasion, are reviewed and summarized in order to provide an overview of each technique's expected results and contraindications.
