“…It was very interesting to note that the current sample significantly differs in columellar height and nasal width as well from South part of India. 9 Columellar width is more in case of Indian female neonates compared to male neonates but in Indian adults the columellar width is same for males and females. Male as well as female Indian neonates have the largest columellar width compared to Caucasions and blacks.…”

One hundred normal individuals of different age groups from Mumbai (India) were included in this study. Various dimensions of lip-nose complex were measured. The results were compared with the available data for blacks, Caucasians and Chinese. In the population under study lip-nose complex measurements differ in all dimensions with blacks and Caucasians and show resemblance to the Chinese. The analysis of the data does not simply indicate the differences in the measurements but also points out change in growth patterns which will have a clinical significance.

“…The female upper lip is slightly shorter in vertical height (nasal base to cupids bow) than male lip (16mm in females and 17mm in males) in the south Indian population. 19 The upper incisor show in repose is higher in females (3mm) than males (1mm). 14 A lip lift not only reduces the vertical height but it also increases the upper lip vermillion show leading to a more feminine appearance and also increases the incisor show.…”

Feminization of the face is as important as genital or chest surgeries in alleviating gender incongruence in transgender individuals. It comprises a myriad of procedures that address the skeletal and/or soft tissue components to give a harmonious result. The surgeries are custom-tailored for each individual based on facial anatomy as well as her desired changes for optimal results. A thorough understanding of the differences in male and female facial anatomy is crucial.The use of computed tomographic imaging with three-dimensional reconstruction and stereolithography models can greatly improve the planning as well as execution of these surgeries. There is an increase in demand for these surgeries, with a paucity of centers providing them. The aim of this article is to highlight the comprehensive facial feminization procedures, which have a high patient as well as surgeon satisfaction rate.

The Abbé flap is a procedure where the volume of the upper lip is increased at the expense of the lower lip. This study reviewed the Abbé flaps done at Skåne University Hospital during the years 1991-2006 and identified 14 patients. Data was collected from medical records. Eleven patients were deemed fit for interviews and were called to the hospital by standard mail. Six patients responded and were interviewed, examined, and photographed. One patient was interviewed over the telephone. Median age at surgery was 14 years (range = 6-22). The operation time was 152 minutes (range = 90-215). The Abbé flap was divided after 12 days (range = 11-16). All 14 flaps survived and no complications were noted. Secondary corrections were done in nine patients. Three patients experienced having their lips sutured together as difficult, and four patients described this period as easy. All patients described their lips as having better appearance after the operation and, in three of four cases, where a simultaneous columella lengthening was done, the patients described their noses as having better appearance. The scar on the lower lip was negative but also a prerequisite for the operation. All seven patients said the operation was worth all the effort and would recommend it to patients in similar situations. This data supports that the Abbé flap is a safe technique that effectively improves the appearance of the upper lip and satisfies the cleft lip and palate patients.
