AI Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on the use of an acellular soft tissue matrix (Surgisis) for lip augmentation in 8 patients at an academic facility.
- All patients had a positive experience with the procedure, reporting no serious complications, although some minor issues like transient redness and one case of cellulitis occurred.
- The results indicated that Surgisis is an effective and safe option for short-term lip augmentation, with potential for long-term benefits through muscle ingrowth.
Article Abstract
Objective: To relate our initial experience using an acellular, soft tissue matrix derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (Surgisis; Cook Biotech Inc, West Lafayette, Indiana) for lip augmentation.
Design: A prospective, uncontrolled case series examining the results of lip augmentation using Surgisis in patients presenting to an academic otolaryngology/facial plastic surgery office.
Results: Nineteen Surgisis implants were placed in 8 patients. All patients tolerated the procedure and denied unnatural sensations or complications at any interval. Adverse events included transient erythema and 1 case of local cellulitis treated effectively with oral antibiotics. Four patients were satisfied with the procedure and 4 patients requested greater augmentation. Six-month follow-up was reported, and preoperative and postoperative photography was used in all cases.
Conclusions: Short-term lip augmentation was achieved in all 8 patients (4 patients had multiple strands placed). This study demonstrates technical ease and early safety. Surgisis should serve as scaffolding for ingrowth of striated muscle of the lip, potentially providing long-term augmentation. This study introduces Surgisis as a novel implant for lip augmentation.

Convincing a patient who has undergone any aesthetic surgery to come for a long-term follow-up is extremely difficult. The result obtained after rhinoplasty usually stabilizes in the first year and it is unlikely to change after 2 years. The precision carving technique described in 2014 has been employed by us for the last several years.

Extensive and closely coordinated remodeling processes take place in the periodontal ligament (PDL) and the adjacent bone during orthodontic tooth movement. In complex orthodontic cases, it is necessary to move teeth into an augmented bony defect, for example, in patients with cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. The important role of the PDL during tooth movement is well accepted but not fully understood.

Purpose: This study compared the occurrence of different types of generalization (within-class, across-class, and total generalization) following motor-phonetic speech therapy and linguistic-phonological speech therapy in children with a cleft palate ± cleft lip (CP ± L).
Method: Thirteen children with a CP ± L ( = 7.50 years) who previously participated in a block-randomized, sham-controlled design comparing motor-phonetic therapy ( = 7) and linguistic-phonological therapy ( = 6) participated in this study.
Background: Lip augmentation procedure with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can make patients younger with more attractive. After the injection on the lips, the result is temporary. Physicians and patients wonder how long the HA filler last on the lips.

The depressor labii inferioris (DLI) muscle helps to lower and turn the lower lip outward and receives innervation from the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve. Paralysis of this muscle is a rare but potential complication of chin augmentation injections. Paralysis of the DLI causes symptoms such as difficulty smiling on the affected side, difficulty speaking clearly, and facial asymmetry, especially when smiling.
