PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY 2000;105:1154-1158 ABSTRACT Lip augmentation procedures can restore volume and shape to the aging, thin upper lip, but some patients may develop problematic lip tightness. This stiff upper lip is manifested by a restricted smile and an a dynamic central upper lip. We have had success in treating postreconstruction and postaugmentation stiff upper lip with a therapeutic device and treatment regimen. This therapy alleviated tightness and inability to smile. Also, the change in lip commissure-to-commissure distance in repose and when smiling improved after treatment.                     Plast Reconstr Surg 2000 March;105(3):1154-1158  Copyright © 2000 American Society of Plastic Surgeons.  All rights reserved                              Published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
