Abstract

Background: Lip filling is one of the most common types of cosmetic procedures sought for patients in a cosmetic dermatology practice. Nevertheless, a classification of the different shapes of the vermillion of the lips is lacking in medical literature. Objective: To describe a classification of lips shapes based on the visagism practice and to correlate it with male and female lips before any cosmetic treatment. Methods & Materials: the vermillion shapes of 100 patients, including male and female patients before any aesthetic procedures on the lips were analyzed. Results: Five shapes of vermillion were encountered in our patients: standard lips, voluminous lips, thin lips, oval lips and heart shaped lips. Of these, standard and thin lips are the most frequent in female lips in the studied population. There was no statistically significant difference in this population among symmetric and asymmetrical lip vermillion. Thin lips were more common in older populations, suggesting that the lip aging may affect the vermillion shape. Conclusion: The exact knowledge of the vermillion shape may aid providers and patients to understand the outcomes of treatments and also to set real expectations.
