Demand for lip filler injection continues to increase. Despite the current literature's acknowledgement of the role both venous and arterial vasculature play in minor and major side effects, research ...
A photographic analysis of the venous vasculature of 26 participants was performed using a vein transilluminator to display the venous flow around the perioral region. The data were analyzed for commo...
Venous tributaries were identified in all patients, with slight variation in pattern, superior to the upper vermilion border between the nasolabial fold and philtral column on each side of the mouth. ...
Perioral venous mapping provides a guide for injectors performing lip enhancement procedures in identifying areas at risk for injury because of venous pooling. Avoiding these anatomically vulnerable r...
Childhood is an important period for lip-closing strength (LCS) development, and failure to acquire LCS during childhood leads to various adverse health effects, such as mouth breathing. The purpose o...
The participants were divided into training and control groups. Both groups comprised 123 children aged 3-4 years, and only the training group received lip and facial training (i.e., opening and closi...
The LCS of children in the training group significantly increased after training compared with that in the control group, whether the analysis included all children or children with ILS alone. Lip and...
Lip and facial training for children with ILS effectively improved LCS and lip morphology, thereby preventing increased lip protrusion....
Lip infantile hemangiomas tend to show less volumetric regression and are more susceptible to visible sequelae in the involuted stage. Some of them still require surgical management after propranolol ...
A retrospective review was performed to evaluate patients with lip hemangioma who received previous propranolol treatment and underwent the aforementioned procedure. Demographic characteristics, lesio...
A total of 18 patients with lip hemangioma were eligible. All patients received oral propranolol therapy before surgery, with treatment duration ranging from 6.0 to 23.0 months. Their age at surgery r...
This modified technique based on the SMISS approach has proven reliable and effective in improving the aesthetic outcome for involuted lip infantile hemangiomas. Practical surgical techniques still pl...
Modern cleft lip surgery aims to restore symmetry and create a level, normal-appearing Cupid's bow. However, families' concerns often center on the degree of scarring. The authors hypothesized that th...
The authors received institutional review board approval for modifying patients' postoperative photographs to create systematic variations displaying different levels of scarring and lip angle. Each c...
Four children with primary unilateral cleft lip repair had their postoperative photographs modified (mean age, 1.4 years; mean follow-up, 1.0 years). Twelve-hundred crowdsourced pairwise ratings were ...
Online crowdsourcing postoperative lip angle had a significantly greater influence on ratings of normal appearance than does the severity of scarring. Although patients may ask about scars more often,...
To verify the association between breathing nasal expiratory flow and posture of lips and tongue at rest, presence of repeated forward movements of the tongue and maternal complaint of respiratory dif...
A observational study was carried out in 130 babies, in a university hospital. Included newborn with Apgar score greater than or equal to 8 in exclusive breast milk. It was the following data: positio...
there was a significant association between maternal complaint of newborn difficulty breathing with repeated forward tongue movements and nasal expiratory flow; tongue position with resting lips posit...
Symmetrical nasal expiratory flow is associated with an elevated tongue position and closed lips at rest; on the other hand, increased and/or absent nasal expiatory flow in one nostril is associated w...
This review describes the fundamental principles and recent advances in the reconstruction of total lower lip defects to restore peri-oral aesthetic and function....
Modifications to the Abbe flap and visor flap have recently been described. Recent advances to free flap techniques have focused on dynamic restoration of lower lip sling function after reconstruction...
The reconstructive goals for a full thickness lower lip defect are to restore a functional oral sphincter, replace mucosal and external skin, and maintain a functional size of the oral aperture. Local...
The lips are a vital component of the face and are densely innervated to perform various functions. The lip edges are covered with mucocutaneous tissue called vermilion which is particularly receptive...
Twelve intact lips (6 upper and 6 lower) were obtained from non-embalmed frozen cadavers (five females and seven males) with an age range of 60-80 years. The specimens were divided into three zones (m...
Different morphotypes of sensory corpuscles were identified: Ruffini-like associated with hair follicles, Meissner and glomerular corpuscles in the vermilion, and less classifiable sensory corpuscles ...
These results demonstrate that the sensory corpuscles of the vermilion are a mixture of those typical of glabrous skin mucocutaneous tissues. The presence of PIEZO2 and ASIC2 in their axons suggests t...
In recent years, minimally invasive and non-invasive rejuvenation methods have been welcomed. PRP has been used widely for skin rejuvenation, but there are few studies on PRP for lip rejuvenation....
The objective of this study was to investigate the preliminary effects of PRP for lip rejuvenation....
Between October 2018 and April 2023, 15 participants with lip aging (1 male, 14 females; range 27-58 years) were treated with PRP. The follow-up time was 3 to 24months. After 3 to 6 times treatments, ...
According to the beauty seekers and Surgeons 'evaluation, the aging characteristics of the lips of the 15 beauty seekers have been improved to varying degrees. The most obvious improvement was that th...
The results of this study revealed promising evidence of PRP as an effective option on lip rejuvenation. However, large, multi-center, controlled, long term, pilot studies are required to confirm the ...
Improving chewing function of older adults increases the health-related quality of life. Few studies indicated the correlation between tongue, lip strength on masticatory performance in older people. ...
The older adults had independent daily intake without assistance were enrolled. They had intact dentition and no periodontitis. To estimate the number of chewing strokes and chewing time by consuming ...
35 women and 35 men with an average age of 73.2 years were investigated. Tongue pressure was significantly related to the chewing time and the number of chewing strokes (p = 0.01 and 0.03). There was ...
The tongue strength significantly related to chewing ability in aging population. Increasing the tongue strength greatly reduced the number of chewing strokes and chewing time. Good masticatory abilit...
With the ageing process changes in the musculature of oro-facial structures take place, consequently there is a reduction in the strength and mobility of the lips, tongue and cheeks....
The aim of this study was to correlate oro-facial structures and chewing and swallowing functions among a group of senior citizens and young adults and check the influence of lip and tongue pressure o...
This is an observational, cross-sectional and analytical study. Thirty seniors with an average age of 67.13 years and 30 young adults with an average age of 22.03 years participated in the study. The ...
Young adults had a higher evaluation score for the aspect/posture of the face, cheeks, lips, mentalis muscle, tongue, mobility of lips, tongue, jaw and cheeks, chewing and swallowing functions, total ...
With healthy ageing changes occurring in the appearance, posture and mobility of the lips, tongue, jaw and cheeks, with the seniors and reduced performance of chewing and swallowing functions....
