  • Title: Construction of the cupid's bow.
    Author: Vecchione TR.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1980 Jun; 65(6):830-3. PubMed ID: 7384287.
    Abstract:
    The creation of the cupid's bow, philtral dimple, and tubercle can greatly improve the central upper lip. The white roll is dissected free as a bucket handle. A crescent of central vermilion is excised and planted as a composite graft to simulate a tubercle. The white roll is sutured to the vermilion, and a full-thickness skin graft is sutured to the new philtral dimple.
