    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Facial Aesthetics
    • Aging Research

    Background:

    • The aging face often exhibits changes in the upper lip, contributing to an aged appearance.
    • These upper lip changes are a key component of the "aging face" syndrome.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the typical features of an aging upper lip.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of a lip lift procedure in addressing these changes.
    • To assess the potential complications and overall benefits of lip lifts.

    Main Methods:

    • Descriptive analysis of aging upper lip features.
    • Surgical technique of the "lip lift" procedure.
    • Evaluation of patient outcomes and complication rates.

    Main Results:

    • The lip lift is a simple surgical technique that effectively corrects characteristic aging changes of the upper lip.
    • The procedure results in few complications and significantly restores a more youthful facial appearance.
    • Lip lifts have a limited effect on "purse-string" lines, which typically require adjunctive treatments like dermabrasion or chemical peels.

    Conclusions:

    • Lip lift surgery is an excellent adjunct for facial rejuvenation, specifically targeting upper lip aging.
    • The procedure offers a safe and effective method to enhance a youthful facial outlook.
    • Further treatments are necessary for perioral rhytids (purse-string lines).
