Lips are the central feature in the lower third of the face. When they are full and well defined, they impart a sense of youth, health, and attractiveness to the bearer. Thin, flat lips, on the other hand, imply fragility and senility. The characteristics of the lips responsible for these qualities are the shape of Cupid's bow, the relative length of the upper lip, and the projection or bulk of the lips. Esthetic guidelines are presented for each of these characteristics, which when understood help the surgeon formulate an operative plan. Lip augmentation techniques using autogenous and alloplastic materials are presented. For patients with a long upper lip, vermilion advancement and nasal base resection are discussed in detail. With a look to the future, a discussion of preliminary experience with carbon dioxide laser lip advancement concludes the article.
嘴唇是面部下三分之一的核心特征。当嘴唇饱满且轮廓清晰时，会给人带来年轻、健康和迷人的感觉。另一方面，薄而扁平的嘴唇则意味着脆弱和衰老。决定这些特质的嘴唇特征包括唇弓形状、上唇的相对长度以及嘴唇的突出度或丰满度。针对这些特征分别给出了美学指导原则，理解这些原则有助于外科医生制定手术方案。介绍了使用自体材料和异体材料进行唇部填充的技术。对于上唇过长的患者，详细讨论了唇红推进术和鼻基底切除术。展望未来，本文最后讨论了二氧化碳激光唇部推进术的初步经验。
