Restoration of the lip roll with Gore-Tex

Gore-Tex has been used by the author for the past 2 years to enhance the vermillion border of the lips by emphasizing that a natural pocket exists between the skin and the orbicularis muscle all along the white roll where a Gore-Tex implant can be easily placed. The overlying skin is thick providing a good protection of this material, and such a thickness necessitates that this protection is provided. If a complication occurs from its use, then the implant can be easily removed without any damage to the adjacent tissues.
