Abstract：
Upper lip lifting is a very popular procedure but there is no objective guidelines on how much skin has to be removed to obtain an optimal result. We have measured and compared the philtral height in two groups of young and old female Lebanese subjects. We have found a mean philtral height of 14.3 ± 1.9 mm in the young group and 19.8 ± 2.4 mm In the old group, with a mean philtral lengthening of 5.5 ± 2.9 mm. We suggest using these results to plan the amount of skin that has to be removed during a lip lift procedure.

上唇提升是一个非常流行的过程，但没有客观的指导方针，有多少皮肤必须被删除，以获得最佳的结果。我们测量并比较了两组年轻和老年女性黎巴嫩受试者的男性身高。我们发现年轻组的平均男性身高为14.3±1.9毫米，老年组的平均男性身高为19.8±2.4毫米，平均腓骨延长5.5±2.9毫米。我们建议使用这些结果来计划在嘴唇提升过程中必须去除的皮肤量。
