Premaxillary Injection for Perioral Rejuvenation and Lip Enhancement

Abstract Background This is the first study to evaluate the effect of premaxillary filler injection on nasal tip projection, upper lip projection, and upper lip vermilion height. Objectives The primary objective of this study was to analyze the change in nasal tip projection (measured by the Goode ratio) and the change in upper lip projection (measured by the Z angle) following premaxillary hyaluronic acid injection. A secondary objective was to measure the change in upper lip vermilion height. We hypothesized that treated subjects will show an increase in nasal tip projection, upper lip projection, and upper lip vermilion height. Methods Twenty volunteer patients with signs of perioral aging or poor upper lip projection were enrolled in this prospective cohort study and underwent premaxillary hyaluronic acid filler injection between November 2017 and June 2018. Nasal tip projection, upper lip projection, and upper lip vermilion height were assessed from baseline and posttreatment photographs based on the Goode ratio, Z angle, and lip vermilion height ratio, respectively. Results No significant change was noted between pre- and posttreatment Goode ratio measurements (P = 0.841). There was a significant decrease in Z angle and therefore significant increase in upper lip projection with treatment (P < 0.001). The lip vermilion height ratio demonstrated a trend of increased upper lip vermilion height but this did not achieve statistical significance (P = 0.561). Conclusions Premaxillary filler treatment resulted in a significant increase in upper lip projection. Premaxillary filler injection when performed in a safe manner is a valuable treatment option for perioral rejuvenation. Level of Evidence: 4

Latar belakang: Celah bibir dengan atau tanpa celah lelangit merupakan abnormalitas perkembangan kraniofasial yang paling sering terjadi. Kelainan ini bisa unilateral atau bilateral, dan mungkin disertai dengan anomali kongenital lain. Celah bibir bilateral berpotensi mengubah struktur dan bentuk wajah serta menyebabkan gangguan dalam perkembangan makan, bicara, gigi geligi, dan kosmetik. Celah bibir selalu disertai dengan deformitas hidung, termasuk pada kasus celah bibir inkomplit. Mulliken adalah pionir yang melakukan perbaikan celah bibir bilateral dan rinoplasti primer dalam satu tahap operasi. Tujuan: Mengetahui keberhasilan operasi celah bibir inkomplit bilateral dan rinoplasti primer dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken. Laporan kasus: Dilaporkan satu kasus celah bibir inkomplit bilateral pada anak laki-laki usia 7 bulan yang ditatalaksana dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken. Metode: Telaah literatur berbasis bukti mengenai perbaikan celah bibir inkomplit bilateral dan rinoplasti primer dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken melalui database Cochrane library, Pubmed Medline, dan hand searching. Hasil: Pertumbuhan nasal tip projection, nasal width, columellar length, upper lip height, cutaneous lip height, dan vermilion-mucosal height mendekati nilai normal. Kesimpulan: Prosedur celah bibir inkomplit bilateral disertai rinoplasti primer dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken memberikan hasil yang baik. Introduction: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is the most common disorder of craniofacial development. This disorder could be occurred unilaterally or bilaterally, and sometimes were also accompanied by other type of congenital disorders. Bilateral cleft lip potentially could change the face structure and shape, causing interference in eating, speech, dental development, and aesthetics. Cleft lip always occurred with nasal deformity, even in incomplete cleft lip. Mulliken is a pioneer in performing a repair in bilateral cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty altogether at the same time. Purpose: To find out the result of surgery procedure in bilateral incomplete cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty using Mulliken modification technique. Case report: A bilateral incomplete cleft lip case in a 7 months old boy and managed by Mulliken modification technique. Method: Evidence based literature study of bilateral incomplete cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty with Mulliken modification technique through Cochrane library, Pubmed Medline, and hand searching. Result: The growth of nasal tip projection, nasal width, collumellar length, upper lip height, cutaneus lip height, and vermilion mucous height were close to normal size. Conclusion: Procedure of bilateral incomplete cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty repair using Mulliken modification technique delivered a good outcome.

Abstract Background One of the primary goals of enucleation and evisceration surgery is the restoration of an adequate orbital volume through the use of appropriately sized alloplastic or autogenous tissues. In patients inadequately treated, post-enucleation or evisceration socket syndrome occurs. Fillers are an ideal alternative for eyelid and eyebrow arcade volume enhancement since their injection is easily performed in an outpatient setting avoiding several complications. The aim of this study is to report the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers to treat volume deficits of the upper and lower eyelids, projecting the brow arcade and reducing the asymmetry. Methods Thirteen patients (2 male, 11 female, mean age 32.7 years) were treated from June 2012 to May 2020. Non-surgical treatment by HA filler injection for aesthetic rehabilitation of deep superior sulcus, inferior tear trough deformity, and scleral show was performed. Results No complications as orbital-ache and/or vasovagal response were reported during the injections. Minor complications such as light swelling at the site of injection, self-resolved within 2 days, were recorded. Stable results were observed at follow-ups. In two cases, two successive treatments were required at 3 and 6 years from the first injection. Conclusions Hyaluronic acid fillers offer a versatile and safe method for replacing soft tissue lost from the upper eyelid/brow complex in cases of post-enucleation or evisceration socket syndrome. Level of evidence: Level IV, therapeutic study.
