Upper and Lower Lip Soft Tissue Thicknesses Differ in Relation to Age and Sex

This study was performed to determine age- and sex-related differences in lip thickness. Lateral cephalometric images of 220 healthy individuals were taken and the thicknesses of the upper and lower lips were measured. The measurements were performed in three different age groups. Our results indica...
