Corner mouth lift is in increasing demand among young patients in East Asia. Although various surgical methods exist for corner mouth lift, many patients are reluctant to undergo surgery due to fears of postsurgical scarring. We present a new technique aimed at reducing postoperative scarring. The technique involves triangular excision of the corner of the mouth and incision of the commissure with transposition of a lateral vermilion flap to lift the corner of the mouth. The muscle around the corner of the mouth is dissected to release tension. The corner mouth lift was successfully performed in all patients. It can be effectively used even in patients, such as young Asian women, who are susceptible to hypertrophic scars.
在东亚地区，嘴角提升术在年轻患者中的需求日益增加。尽管存在多种嘴角提升的手术方法，但许多患者因担心术后瘢痕形成而不愿接受手术。我们提出一种旨在减少术后瘢痕形成的新技术。该技术包括嘴角的三角形切除和口角切开，并转移外侧唇红瓣以提升嘴角。解剖嘴角周围的肌肉以减轻张力。所有患者的嘴角提升术均成功完成。即使对于易形成增生性瘢痕的患者，如年轻亚洲女性，该技术也能有效应用。
