“…The subnasal bull's horn excision pattern is most commonly performed greater than 90% of the time. [13][14][15][16] This lift may be combined with upper lip advancement to increase vermillion show. While lip lifting procedures have been described for over 40 years, there is little evidence on patient satisfaction or longevity of the procedure.…”

“…A recent level III systematic review of retrospective studies demonstrated greater than 90% patient satisfaction at 1 year. 14 The most common complication is poor aesthetic outcome, scarring, and lip asymmetry with a mean incidence of 7.2%. 13 As this is a common procedure performed, further prospective and randomized trials are needed to better assess patient outcomes, satisfaction, and complications in lip lifting.…”

Lower facial rejuvenation is an expanding area in facial plastic surgery with both surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. Evidence-based medicine is essential to providing high-quality care and creating long-lasting results. A systematic approach and understanding of the layers of the aging lower face is important to develop an individualized treatment plan. This review will focus on surgical and nonsurgical treatments for the aging lower face with an emphasis on evidence-based medicine.

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

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.
