The aim of this study was to measure serial growth changes of the lips in the human between birth and 19 years of age. The lips were measured three-dimensionally, using short base stereophotogrammetry, in terms of mouth width, mouth height and anterior projection of mid points of upper and lower lips relative to a plane joining the angles of the mouth. Lip shape was measured in angular terms related to these parameters. The bulk of the findings was derived from 112 plots from series for 6 pairs of like-sexed twins between the ages of 9 and 19 years, but the results for one child were included to show how the rapid contrasting growth changes of the baby and infant merge into the pattern for older children. |
