“…12 Thus the norms presented in this study might serve as reference values during the initial assessment of patients. For patients requesting aesthetic lip surgery, surgeons might use these values as a benchmark for treatment planning, measurement of treatment outcome after lip surgery, orthognathic, or orthodontic treatment, respectively.…”

The orolabial region frequently undergoes significant changes following trauma, orthognathic surgery or orthodontics. Ethnicity, age and gender specific normative data are needed during the planning phase before surgical interventions in this region. In 2008 the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery published anthropometric lip measurements of Chinese children; however such reference data for Chinese young adults are currently unavailable. Therefore this cross-sectional study using 3-D facial photographs acquired from 103 healthy Chinese young adults with Class I skeletal pattern was conducted to deliver normative data for this age group. Anthropometric landmarks were identified on these 3-D images and linear, angular measurements as well as proportions were calculated. It was found that all orolabial measurements were significantly higher in males other than the labiomental angle. No gender differences were found in the anthropometric proportions. This study established the orolabial anthropometric normative data for Chinese young adults. These norms can be used to objectively evaluate the morphology of the lips during diagnosis, treatment planning and assessment of treatment outcomes.

“…The upper lip, including the philtrum and upper red lip, plays an important role in facial symmetry and esthetics. [1][2][3] It has been shown that wider and fuller lips relative to facial width are important components of female attractiveness, 4 and the demand for attractive lips has gradually increased among those seeking facial esthetic surgery. 2 Because of the esthetic importance of the upper lip, morphological deformities thereof as a result of secondary cleft lip or physical trauma may be disadvantageous socially and may engender low self-esteem among patients.…”

“…8 However, the anatomical features of each patient's facial structures vary widely among patients, and the outcome of such surgeries ultimately depends on the surgeon's experience. 3,9 Preoperative planning and postoperative estimations of the surgical outcomes are generally only the subjective view of the surgeon. 3 Arbitrary surgical treatments may result in many complications, and so a detailed morphometric analysis of the upper lip to provide objective and reliable data for surgeons is necessary.…”

Morphometric Analysis of the Upper Lip in Koreans

et al. 2014

The aims of this study were to provide the various dimensions of the philtrum and upper red lip in Korean young adults and to identify morphological characteristics of these structures in Koreans. A total of 10 dimensions of the philtrum and upper red lip were measured in 251 healthy young adults. Various indices were calculated among the measured features. The philtrum could be classified into three types according to its shape and index data. The mean height of the philtrum was 15.6 mm and the mean width of the mouth was 45.5 mm. The width of the superior and inferior philtrum, the height of philtrum, the width of the mouth, and the height of the upper red lip were significantly larger in males than in females (p < 0.05). A subtle morphological difference in Cupid bow was observed between the genders. There was a negative correlation between the length of the philtral column and the height of the upper red lip (p < 0.05). Furthermore, differences were identified in the dimensions of the philtrum and the upper red lip between Koreans and Caucasians. The results of this study could be a useful morphological basis for correction and reconstruction of the upper lip.

“…Raschke quantified that effect with cephalometric analysis. 7 Vermilion line lip roll effacement is least tolerated in the central lip, whereas the lateral lip is often flat naturally and is not as affected by lip shortening techniques.…”

“…The posterior tension of advancement effaces the lip projection at the vermilion border, flattening the aesthetic fullness of the lower lip. 7 This mucosal advancement was modified by Kolhe and Leonard in 1988, 8 to include muscle and inferior labial artery within the leading flap edge. This myomucosal flap advancement lessened vermilion effacement while still sacrificing the surrounding mucosa.…”

Importance: Reconstruction of small to medium lower lip defects commonly includes mucosal advancement and wedge excision with primary closure, resulting in aesthetic complications such as lip flattening, shortening, and loss of the vermilion roll. The myomucosal lip island flap offers an alternative that preserves lower lip appearance and function. Objective: To describe the lateral myomucosal lip island flap and its indications for the reconstruction of small to medium lower lip defects.
