Facial changes associated with surgical advancement of the lip and maxilla.
A study of maxillary advancements performed with concomitant nasolabial muscle reconstruction demonstrated a predictable soft tissue/osseous ratio of 1:0.9, with the lip moving forward on the average of 90% of the dentition. Lip shortening was not found in this group of patients.
