5.3.1 Lip andPhiltrum
Pre-procedural Considerations
Lip morphology is a reection of one’s age. Although cultural differences in dening “beau­tiful lips” exist, fuller lips, high tonicity, and prominent Cupid’s bow are perceived as a sign of beauty in general. On the other hand, thinner lips, less tonicity, and obscure Cupid’s bow usu­ally are regarded as aged features in terms of lip morphology. With increasing age, the smile becomes elongated and less appealing. Along with recent advances in ller procedures, despite its possible complications, many patients con-
manipulations.
Lip rejuvenation with minimally invasive techniques are gaining popularity.
The upper lip is symmetric to the lower lip, but the latter is thicker than the former. Even though an ideal upper to lower lip ratio is different accord­ing to Eastern or Western countries and the sex, the ratio of 1:1.6 is generally considered ideal similar to a golden rule. From the front view, it is better when an eversion of the upper lip and the red line are seen 2~3mm above the upper teeth. On the lateral view, it is more aesthetically pleasing if the upper lip is placed 2mm in front of the lower lip.

Moreover, a break point on the slightly curved line above the vermillion border like the supratip break of nose is considered beautiful (Fig.5.81).
In the sagittal view of the lip, the orbicularis oris muscle is located more posteriorly than the center of the lip anatomy. The oribicularis oris muscle attaches to the vermillion border by form­ing the oribicularis oris angle at the end of its run­ning (Fig.5.81).
Lips become at and the height of the vermil­lion decreases as aging. Histologic studies show that the overall thickness of the skin decreases with the reduction of collagen and elastic bers in the epidermis and dermis. Furthermore, the atrophy of the orbicularis oris muscle and the widening of the oribicularis oris angle cause lips to become at and lose their volume. The fat compartments of the lip consist of the supercial and deep fat tissues which are divided by the ori­bicularis oris muscle (Fig.5.82). The volume of supercial fat tissues increases with the aging processes, but the suborbicularis oris fat which is the same as the deep fat tissues is reduced. It is coincides with changes of other fat tissues in the face. These studies have shown us evidence to inject llers into the suborbicularis oris fat layer that is placed between the mucosa of the vermil­lion and the orbicularis oris muscle.
Though the volume reduction of the lip is viewed as a natural process with aging, it is not

obvious. It is apparent that the volume of muscles and tissues decreases, but the supercial fat tissues of the lip increase so that the entire vol­ume of the lip is conserved. As a result, the ver­million (dry mucosa) is not seen in aged lips. It is more plausible that lips become at by the disap­pearance of the break point not because of the reduction of total lip volume but because of inter­nal rolling of lips due to the changes of many ele­ments, such as skin tissues, the orbicularis oris muscle, and fat tissues.
There are several tips to avoid iatrogenic large vessel injury with sharp needles. When confront­ing the vessel wall of the relatively large superior and inferior labial artery, one can feel slight ten­sion which requires sufcient clinical experience. So, a most practical tip is to use the mouth corner area which is located relatively farther away from major vessels.
The main blood supply of lips is derived from the SLA (superior labial artery) and the ILA (inferior labial artery). The SLAs come directly from the facial artery, and the mean diameter of the SLA is 1mm. Even though the bilateral SLAs run symmetrically and anastomose in the mid­portion of the upper lip with providing the colu­mellar branch superiorly, the SLAs are sometimes
180

unilateral and asymmetric. The SLAs usually tra­verse between the mucosa and the orbicularis oris muscle at the same level with the vermillion bor­der (Fig.5.81). The ILAs, on the other hand, rou­tinely run between the mucosa of the inner aspect of the lip and the muscle, which means that the ILAs are more closely positioned to the alveolar margin than the SLAs.
Therefore, ller injections at the supercial fat layer are more favorable than at the areas adja­cent to the orbicularis oris muscle. If deep ller injections are needed, at the lower lip, injections at the suboribicularis oris fat are relatively safe because the ILAs run outside the lower lip at the alveolar margin. On the other hand, at the upper lip, more attentions are needed on ller injections since the SLAs lie inside the upper lip.
Technique
Generally, there have been two different methods in rejuvenating lips. Most physicians prefer to inject from the skin side along the vermilion bor­der (Fig. 5.83). Others choose to inject at the mucosal side of the lip. The former technique makes it possible to rejuvenate the lips with rela­tively lesser volume compared to latter one. In addition, injecting llers from the skin side is benecial to patients without any prominent break points of the lips.
However, this technique is not appropriate to the patient with well-dened break points. Rather, ller injections in these patients disrupt the originally well-dened lip contour. Therefore,
injecting llers from the mucosal sides is very critical in these patients in terms of achieving maximal vermilion eversion effect and preserva­tion of their original break points. Keep in mind, more volume is required and foreign body sensa­tion can be present but rare.
A topical anesthetic (EMLA cream) lidocaine and prilocaine cream can be applied for 30min­utes to the area to be treated. Then, perform a single injection of ller in the upper and lower lips using the retrograde technique, with almost 1cm distance between entry points (and in the lower one if it was necessary). Fillers should be injected into the inner side of the lips to avoid any visualization of injected llers. When patients want to accentuate their central tubercle of upper lip area, one can augment this special area with small amounts of llers (0.1~0.2cc).
Immediately after the injections, to minimize the potential ecchymosis and edema in the injec­tion sites, apply direct pressure with ice com­presses until there are no signs of bleeding. Massaging of the injected area can also be per­formed when it was considered necessary to spread out the injected ller material more evenly (Fig.5.84).
Total dose for lip augmentation should be determined by the degree of asymmetry. In case of asymmetry, more ller should be added to decient area and overall dose should be increased accordingly. In general, 0.3~0.4cc of ller can be used on each lip and add more vol­ume when required for better aesthetic outcomes. Maximal dose per lip (upper or lower lip) in a
Modiolus

patient should not exceed 1.5cc because when that volume is exceeded, it makes the treated lip look too swollen and “puffy.” This excess ller just makes lips thicker rather than rotating them appropriately. Therefore, caution should be taken not to overly inject llers.
Injection of the central tubercle of the upper lip area is dependent on the patient’s opinion. In general, Asians want to augment their central tubercle, while Westerns do not want their central upper lip to be augmented.
Post-procedural management is very simple. Physicians should alert patients that they can feel a foreign body sensation with their tongue ini­tially, which spontaneously resolves over time. Also inform the patient that 10–20% of the initial volume can be lost after 1week.

5.3.2 Marionette Line (Static
Labiomandibular Fold)
Types and Denition of Marionette Line
In medical literature, numerous terms have been used to refer to the creases that form around the mouth corner. The author has used the most fre­quently used terminology to discuss these creases.
In Caucasians, the modiolus, the small and thick muscular nodule formed by the chiasma of muscles near the mouth corner, is located mostly at level of or above mouth corner. In contrast, the
Fig. 5.85 Location of Asian modiolus
modiolus in Koreans is mostly located approxi­mately 11mm lateral and 9mm inferior to the mouth corner. Therefore, compared to Caucasians, Asians are more prone to develop downturned corners of the mouth, ptosis of the mouth corner, and creases in the area (Fig.5.85).

Commissural lines, which are the vertical depressions at the mouth corner, are caused by the difference in depths of the depressor anguli muscle bers (supercial layer) and the orbicu­laris oris muscle bers (intermediate layer) con­verging at the modiolus. These lines are more visible in Asians than in Caucasians due to the anatomic location of modiolus.
If the lateral lower lip fat compartment (one of the three lateral and central supercial fat com­partments located inferior to the lips) atrophies, the commissural line that forms at the junction between the cheek and the lips and degree of

mouth corner drooping becomes more severe (Fig.5.86).
The supercial anatomic boundary between the cheek and chin that worsens with the differ­ence in tissue thicknesses is called the cheek-chin crease. As the line also gives the impression of sadness/depression, it is also called the melola­bial fold (Fig.5.87).
If volume loss of the lower lateral lip compart­ment, the primary cause of this fold, is corrected by volume augmentation, then both an improve­ment in the sunken area/crease and a lifting effect of the mouth corner could be attained (Fig.5.88).

shows, it is unclear as to when this term was used for the rst time and by whom. As a static, oblique fold that extends from the mouth corner to the jawline, it is also referred to as static labio­mandibular fold (Fig.5.87).
The causes of melolabial folds include maxil­lary and mandibular resorption, inferior dis­placement due to gravitational pull, loss of deep fat layer below the depressor anguli oris muscle, compression of the depressor anguli oris muscle,

When the melolabial fold extends to the man­dibular border and the prejowl sulcus is observed in the jawline anterior to the fold, it is called the marionette line (Fig.5.89).
Although the term marionette line is known to have originated from its similar appearance to the mouths of marionettes used in European puppet
on the cause, combination treatment may be needed. In addition to llers for correcting the mandibular border line including the prejowl sulcus and sunken area anterior to the marionette line and mouth corner, toxin injections for improving the mouth corner depression caused by contraction of the depressor anguli oris mus-

cle, jowl fat removal, or tissue lifting using threads are typically performed together (Table5.2).
The marionette line (static labiomandibular fold) is present even in the expressionless state. It usually starts from the mouth corner and extends obliquely along the posterior border of the depressor anguli oris muscle. In contrast, dynamic labiomandibular fold occurs due to con­traction of the lip elevators and depressors that insert at the modiolus to lift or lower the mouth corner. It refers to the fold that starts from the area near the mouth corner extending obliquely along the anterior border of the depressor anguli oris muscle (Fig.5.87).
In older people with more severe wrinkles, the marionette line is present in the static state, and the line may even be one long continuous line with the nasolabial fold extending from the side of the nose to the jawline. Even in young adults, it can be present as a dynamic wrinkle that is more noticeable when forming facial expressions.
Dynamic labiomandibular folds can be exac­erbated by the lateral pulling effect of the pla­tysma and zygomaticus major muscles. The superior 1/3–1/2 of the depressor anguli oris muscle consists of only myobers, while the
Fig. 5.90 Bowing effect of the depressor anguli oris muscle by the lateral pulling
inferior boundary is rmly anchored by the man­dibular ligament, a true retaining ligament that extends to the bone. When lateral pulling occurs due to smiling of making facial expressions, the retaining ligament acts as a xation point that rmly holds the inferior aspect of the muscle to the bone. Consequently, the area attached to skin shows a bowing effect, where the area bends like a bow (Fig.5.90).
Therefore, when treating dynamic labioman­dibular folds, it is important to determine the underlying anatomic issue and distinguish them from the static labiomandibular fold or marionette line. The treatment principle is same as that for dynamic perioral wrinkles that worsen with aging, as explained in the section on perioral wrinkles.
Procedure for Commissural Line and Melolabial Fold
Inject ller along the crease. Sunken area anterior to the crease can be augmented simultaneously. Typically, a needle is used for injection into fat layer above the muscle by linear threading and retrograde fanning (Fig.5.91).
As the injected ller lls the sunken area, it effaces the fold and lifts the mouth corners. Caution should be exercised during the procedure to avoid injuring the branches of the facial and inferior labial arteries.

Procedure for the Marionette Line (Static Labiomandibular Fold)
For lines with mild to moderate severity, a needle is typically used to add volume into subcutaneous fat layer above the muscle layer. Volume is enhanced using the linear threading technique along the linear region slightly medial to the mar­ionette line, while the sunken area anterior to the line is augmented using the retrograde fanning or cross-hatching techniques (Fig.5.92).
By carefully considering the direction of branches of the facial, inferior labial, labiomen­tal, and submental arteries, vascular injuries may be avoided (Fig.5.93).
In cases with deep creases and severe hollow­ness, the submuscular fat layer is usually aug­mented. To avoid neurovascular injury, it is better to use a cannula (Fig.5.94).
The entry point for cannula is located in the inferior third of the line that connects the mouth corner and mandibular border line. To smoothen the deep lines and uneven jawline caused by the prejowl sulcus, use the retrograde fanning and layering techniques to inject ller into the fat lay­ers deep and supercial to the muscles (Fig.5.92).
Caution should be taken to avoid injuring the mental artery and nerve exiting the mental fora­men and facial artery near the jawline (Fig.5.95).
The pressure should be applied against the bulge superior to the line with the non-dominant, non-injecting hand to ensure the ller does not spread to this area. After adequate volumization, soft llers may be injected into the subdermal and dermal layers, to smoothen out the surface.
The depressor anguli oris muscle originates broadly from the mandibular border and narrows into a triangular shape, inserting to the risorius

and orbicularis oris muscles near the mouth cor­ner. Excessive contraction of this muscle causes downturned mouth corners. In such cases, toxin injection could be used to weaken the depressor anguli oris muscles (Fig.5.96).

ple smile. As people age, the dermal layer also ages and fat volume decreases, causing static wrinkles to appear. Treatment with llers is nec­essary to improve these wrinkles.
Perioral wrinkles vary in appearance and name due to the various movements of surround­ing muscles (zygomaticus major, risorius, pla­tysma, depressor anguli oris muscle). Although individual differences exist, the most common types of wrinkles around the mouth are as fol­lows (Fig.5.97):
• Smoker’s line (vertical wrinkles of the upper
and lower lips): Fine wrinkles that extend per-
pendicularly from the vermillion border of the
lips due to contraction of the orbicularis oris
muscle.
Fig. 5.96 Location of the depressor anguli oris muscle
• Oblique lip-chin creases: Wrinkles that occur obliquely under the corners of the mouth.
• Labiomental crease: Wrinkles that appear hor­izontally in the center between the lower lip and the chin.
• Extended type of nasolabial fold: The nasola­bial fold extends to the lower level of the mouth and is not connected to the oral commissure.
• Static labiomandibular fold (marionette line): Wrinkles that extend outward from the oral commissure to the mandible.
• Dynamic labiomandibular fold: Wrinkles that occur when smiling or making facial expres­sions, caused by the contraction of the mus­cles around the mouth, pulling the skin to the lateral side.
5.3.3.2 Injection Technique
Before the procedure, it is recommended that the physician checks the patient’s jawline symmetry, the location of the perioral wrinkles, and any sag­ging of the cheeks and conrms the treatment area by looking in a mirror together with the patient.
Treatment of most perioral wrinkles differs
from that of the marionette line (static labioman­dibular fold). In the treatment of the marionette line, both deep and supercial injections are required if the fold accompanies a volume loss of the fat. Perioral dynamic wrinkles become static as they age. Attempting to treat the wrinkles by
