Three-Dimensional Morphometric Trajectories Following Lip Lift With or Without Fat Grafting in Facial Feminization Patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Subnasal lip lifts address perioral aging, but long-term quantitative data on postoperative changes and permanence remain limited. Objectives: The aim of this study was to provide the first 3-dimensional (3D) evaluation of morphometric changes after subnasal lip lift ± autologous fat grafting over time. Methods: A retrospective cohort (2022-2025) of facial feminization patients undergoing subnasal lip lift ± fat grafting was analyzed. Standardized VECTRA 3D imaging measured philtral height, vermilion height and width, nasal base width, columella-labial angle, surface area, and lip volume preoperatively and at serial postoperative intervals. Early changes (3 months) were compared using Results: Forty patients were included (lip lift alone, Conclusions: There is measurable philtral shortening after subnasal lip lift. However, partial relengthening occurs over time. Additionally, early gains in vermilion display and lip volume decrease substantially by 2 years. Fat grafting enhances early augmentation but shows limited long-term retention. Level of Evidence 3 Therapeutic:
