    This study introduces a novel lip augmentation technique using a rotated mucous-muscle flap for stable, lasting results. This method offers a significant improvement over existing, often temporary, lip enhancement procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Medicine
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Current lip augmentation methods, excluding controversial implants, lack stable and lasting outcomes.
    • Collagen and dermal grafts are frequently reabsorbed, while local flaps offer minimal volume increase.
    • Existing techniques fail to provide significant cosmetic improvement for lip volume.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and detail a novel surgical technique for lip augmentation.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and stability of lip volume increase using a mucous-muscle flap rotation.
    • To present the outcomes and complications of this new lip augmentation procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A rotation flap technique using a mucous-muscle flap from the inner cheek or contralateral lip is described.

  • The labial commissure serves as the fulcrum for the flap rotation.
  • Surgical technique details, results, and complications were documented in 28 cases.

    • Main Results:

    • The mucous-muscle flap rotation technique demonstrated stable and lasting increases in lip volume.
    • The procedure achieved significant cosmetic improvement, addressing the limitations of previous methods.
    • Complications were recorded and analyzed across the 28 cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed mucous-muscle flap rotation is an effective technique for achieving lasting lip augmentation.
    • This method offers a stable and cosmetically significant improvement compared to existing lip enhancement procedures.
    • The technique provides a viable solution for patients seeking durable lip volume enhancement.
