“…W ell-defined and full lips convey youth and attractiveness, representing a key feature of the lower facial third. [1][2][3][4][5] Whether the goal is to restore the senile lip to its previous youthful glory or mimic the pouty appearance of the social media starlet, lip augmentation has become an increasing trend. 6 Popular cosmetic procedures designed for augmentation range from temporary injectable dermal fillers (ie, hyaluronic acid) to structural fat grafting and soft alloplastic implants.…”

IMPORTANCE Aesthetic proportions of the lips and their effect on facial attractiveness are poorly defined. Established guidelines would aid practitioners in achieving optimal aesthetic outcomes during cosmetic augmentation.OBJECTIVE To assess the most attractive lip dimensions of white women based on attractiveness ranking of surface area, ratio of upper to lower lip, and dimensions of the lip surface area relative to the lower third of the face. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSIn phase 1 of this study, synthetic morph frontal digital images of the faces of 20 white women ages 18 to 25 years old were used to generate 5 varied lip surface areas for each face. These 100 faces were cardinally ranked by attractiveness through our developed conventional and internet-based focus groups by 150 participants. A summed ranking score of each face was plotted to quantify the most attractive surface area. In phase 2 of the study, 4 variants for each face were created with 15 of the most attractive images manipulating upper to lower lip ratios while maintaining the most attractive surface area from phase 1. A total of 60 faces were created, and each ratio was ranked by attractiveness by 428 participants (internet-based focus groups). In phase 3, the surface area from the most attractive faces was used to determine the total lip surface area relative to the lower facial third.

“…In creating this metric, we invoked anatomical landmarks and heights established centuries ago, 25,26 and photogrammetric analysis, a more recent methodology that has been used for performing such measurements. [27][28][29] The use of indices to ascertain populational averages also has historical precedent. For example, Farkas et al examined the ratio of labial to labral height in his study of Caucasian adults 30 (note the slight modification of the philtral-labial score formula).…”

The labral classification system and its associated analytical tools serve as useful references in consultation, simplify discussion of patients with upper lip defects, furnish a practical alternative to complex algorithms, enable documentation of changes, and facilitate analysis of large sample sizes. When implemented judiciously, the tools described in this article will help surgeons confidently address upper lip problems by streamlining accurate diagnosis and guiding proper treatment.

“…The procedure consists in a skin‐only removal (the orbicularis oris fascia remains unaltered) of an horizontal band with a height of 4‐5 mm above the philtrum columns and 2‐3 mm above the central lip. The incision is then progressively lowered laterally in order to reach the commissures …”

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.
