Upper lip

defects of the upper lip Defects of up to one third of the upper lip, not including the majority of the philtral subunit, may be closed primarily without risk of significant tightening. Often this closure also requires a perialar excision and advancement. Meticulous realignment of the vermilion border is essential. Full-thickness defects that involve a majority of the philtral subunit are treated very effectively with replacement of the entire philtral subunit. An Abbe flap from the lower lip is ideal

bound to offer a classroom diversity and a new perspective. (“What Educators”, 7) Children affected by FASD often appear quite similar to any other child. Still, some physical indicators may include a characteristic thin upper lip, smooth philtrum (no grove between upper lip and nose), short eye slits, and flatter cheeks (“Conditions Factsheets”, 2014). FASD individuals are also often smaller than average. (Reardon) Diagnosis: FASD is very difficult to properly diagnose, as symptoms vary

A mother drinking while pregnant can cause many problems for her newborn child, one example is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (Ryan, S., & Ferguson, D.L. 2006). Fetal Alcohol Syndrome occurs when a mother consumes alcohol while pregnant causing the newborn to develop a mental and physical disability. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a disorder that is developed from the environment that the fetus was in caused by the consumption of alcohol by the mother while pregnant, resulting in the newborn developing

The focal adhesions in the control cranial neural crest cells are clearly visible in (Fig 4A and C). The actin filaments are also distinguishable, whereas in the cells treated with ethanol, there is an irregular distribution of the microfilaments. The cells in the cultures exposed to ethanol are small yet have an increased number in cells compared to the control cranial neural crest cells (Fig 4A). There is a prominent disarray and overlap, which suggests an alteration in the orientation in the

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder “Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term describing the range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects may include physical, mental, behavioral, and/or learning disabilities with possible lifelong implications” (HHS, 2005). FASD refers to conditions such as: fetal alcohol syndrome including partial FAS, fetal alcohol effects (FAE), alcohol related neurodevelopment disorder, alcohol-related

retardation problems (Chasnoff, 2015), and motor impairment (Lucas, 2014). Additionally, Chasnoff observed that children that had been exposed to alcohol during pregnancy presented characteristic morphology defects such as an abnormal measurement of their upper lips and philtrum (Chasnoff, 2015).

alcohol exposure and to make a diagnosis of FAS. The first of these is a pattern of facial anomalies, these features include:  Small eye openings  Flat cheekbones  Flattened groove between nose and upper lip  Thin upper lip These characteristics can gradually diminish as the child ages, but it is important to note that diagnosis does not change because of this. The second criteria is growth deficiencies:  Low birth weight  Decelerating

When she passed by him minutes later, he stepped out from behind the lockers, his fingers forcefully latching onto her wrists. She yelped as she was pulled into the restroom alongside him, a hand quickly pressed to her lips, muffling her cries. Her eyes widened in surprise at his bold gestures, never once expecting him to do something so brazen, so out in the open. He did not give her much time to think, much less react to his advances. He pushed her against the tiled walls, her back slamming against

displayed before him. Alyssa felt a blush creep onto her cheeks, she held her upper arm, pushing her breasts together and moved her legs together in an attempt to cover some of her exposed skin. Aiden gets up and places his hands on her hips, leaning in closer. Aiden whispered sensually, “I guess I should do something since you are so prepared,” this sent chills down Alyssa’s spine. Moving his face closer, he gently presses his lips against hers. Soon he moves one arm to wrap around her waist and one to

Cosmetic Dentistry Lip Augmentation Nowadays, lip augmentation and lip enhancement have become one of the most branded cosmetic procedures. Typically, these procedures make use of injectable dermal fillers such as Restylane lip fillers or Juvederm, or lip collages. These are often used to provide plumpness to the lips through lip injections. They can also be used to reduce the fine wrinkles around the mouth. A non-animal clear gel, Restylane, usually occurs naturally in the body and is more preferable
