This case study explores using palmaris longus tendon-muscle grafts for upper lip augmentation, a novel technique with potential benefits for lip enlargement. Further research is needed to confirm its safety and efficacy in broader patient populations.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Lip augmentation is a common cosmetic procedure.
  • Existing methods have limitations, prompting exploration of new techniques.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old female patient underwent upper lip augmentation using a palmaris longus tendon-muscle graft.
  • The procedure aimed to enhance lip volume and shape.

Findings:

  • The palmaris longus tendon-muscle graft was successfully used for upper lip augmentation.
  • No restriction of lip excursion (e.g., smiling) was observed in this patient, despite theoretical concerns about adherence.

Implications:

  • This technique presents a potential alternative for lip enlargement procedures.
  • Larger studies are required to validate the safety and effectiveness of this novel approach and assess long-term outcomes.
