Changes in the aging upper lip – a photomorphometric and MRI-based study (on a quest to find the right rejuvenation approach)

摘要: Summary Background A lack of scientific data about the complex three dimensional changes in relation to rest face is reason for multitude rejuvenation approaches aging upper lip. In this study underlying anatomic and facial proportions senile lip are scientifically evaluated first time. Methods (1) 182 standardized subject photographs were measured, compared dimensions correlated age. (2) cranial MRI scans 30 women aged 20–35 65–80 relevant anatomical measured. Results Both studies showed a statistically significant lengthening The photomorphometric further shows an increase prolabium skin at cost decreasing visible vermilion. decrease thickness. loss volume could not be shown. Conclusion Isolated augmentation causal method it may therefore rather lead unnatural ‘blown up' look.
