Abstract

In this paper we will review the results obtained during the last 2 years with the aponeurotic galea and subgalea for vermillion lip augmentation. The survey was carried out on 42 patients who displayed either an absence of or reduction in the vermillion of one or both lips or a senile lip. In all cases the surgical procedure introduced aponeurotic galea and subgalea in the space found between the orbicular lip muscle and the vestibular mucus, just behind the vermillion. All the operations were performed under local anaesthetic.

The size of the aponeurotic galea fragment removed varied in length between 10 and 12 cms. and in width between 1 and 2 cms., using the following parameters for its dimensions: the previous volume of the lips, and the distance between the two buccal commissures when in the “smile position.”
