The shape of lips is second only to eyes in aesthetic sense. In some cases, it even exceeds the eyes. The beauty of lips mainly comes from its symbolic meaning and formal beauty. Some people think that the lips themselves do not have the beauty of curves, but they are full of beautiful emotions. Kissing, for example, can be sublimated into beauty. From the point of view of formal beauty, the beautiful lips are slightly thinner and slightly warped than the lower lip, with the two corners facing upwards, the upper lip arched, and the red lip edge is the red lip edge. Viewed from the side, the upper lip is slightly looser and thinner than the lower lip, slightly covered on the lower lip, slightly protruding and inclined. The height of the upper lip is similar to the depth of the nose and forms a 90-degree angle with the columella. The thickness of beautiful lips varies from person to person. Generally, women's upper lip is 8mm thick and their lower lip is 9 mm thick. Men are thicker than women by l- 1.5mm, and the width of oral fissure is generally based on the vertical line of pupil.
The so-called "thick lips" means that the thickness of male lips exceeds 9mm, and the lower lip exceeds10.5 mm; ; Female upper lip is more than 8mm, and thick lip is more than 9 mm. Thick lips are related to genetic and ethnic characteristics, and some of them are local chronic infections.
The main causes of thick lips are congenital hypertrophy, heavy lips (two lips can be seen when opening or closing), less facial paralysis, hypertrophy of oral and labial connective tissue caused by Crohn's disease and so on.
2. What is the thinning of thick lips?
Thinning of thick lips is to remove an oral mucosa and muscle in a spindle or zigzag shape at the junction of upper and lower lip skin and mucosa, and then directly make a suture incision to make thick lips thinner, and take off stitches in 5-7 days. The scar of the surgical incision is hidden in the mouth and the effect is ideal.
At present, because there is no effective medicine to make thick lips thinner, the most ideal correction method for thick lips deformity or heavy lips is plastic surgery, which is not very complicated. The outpatient department generally adopts local anesthesia, and makes an incision parallel to the upper and lower lip arches along the oral red lip mucosa to remove part of the submucosal tissue and the mucosa of the orbicularis oris muscle. After careful cosmetic stitching, the thickness of red lips has returned to a beautiful standard. The operation time is not long and the pain is not great.
Oral hygiene should be maintained before operation, and wound exposure can be used after operation, or after covering 1-2 days. Wipe the wound with liquid medicine 1-2 times a day, and apply antibiotic ointment to keep the local area clean. Moreover, it is necessary to reduce the activities of mouth and lips, eat liquid food or rehydration within 3 days, and routinely use antibiotics to prevent infection. The stitches are usually removed 3-6 days after oral and lip surgery, and 7 days after red lip surgery. If the wound tension is high, it can be delayed for 2-3 days as appropriate.
