| Anchor | a material or technique employed to secure tissues or restorative materials in a fixed position; an armature. |
| Aquiline nasal profile | curved, as the beak of an eagle; as viewed from the profile, a nasal profile which exhibits a "hook" or convexity in its dorsum. |

| Cauterizing agent | a chemical capable of drying tissues by searing; caustic. |
| Cilia | the eyelashes. |
| Concave-convex profile | a facial profile variation in which the forehead protrudes beyond the eyebrows while the chin recedes from the plane of the upper lip. |
| Concave profile | a basic facial profile form in which the forehead protrudes beyond the eyebrows while the chin protrudes beyond the plane of the upper lip (e.g. infantine, retrousse, and least common). |
| Concave-vertical profile | a facial profile variation in which the forehead protrudes beyond the eyebrows while the upper lip and chin project equally to an imaginary vertical line. |
| Concha | the concave shell of the ear; the deepest depression of the ear. |
| Convex nasal profile | a nasal profile which exhibits a hump in its linear form. e.g. Roman, aquiline. |
| Convex profile | a basic profile form in which the forehead recedes from the eyebrows while the chin recedes from the plane of the upper lip (most common). |

| Hypodermic tissue building | the injection of special creams or liquids into the tissues through the use of a syringe and needle to restore natural contour. |
| Inferior palpebral sulcus | the furrow of the lower attached border of the inferior palpebra; an "acquired" facial marking. |
| Integumentary lips | superiorly, the skin portion of the upper lip from the attached margin of the upper mucous membrane to the base of the nose; and inferiorly, the skin portion of the lower lip from the attached margin of the lower mucous membrane to the labiomental sulcus. |
| Intense | existing in a high degree of brilliance; vivid. |
| Interciliary sulci | the vertical or transverse furrows between the eyebrows; "acquired" facial markings. |
| Interrupted suture | see bridge stitch. |
| Intertragic notch | a notch or opening between the tragus and the antitragus of the ear. |
| Intradermal suture | (a hidden stitch) a type of suture used to close incisions in such a manner that the ligature remains entirely under the epidermis. |

| Jawline | the inferior border of the mandible. |
| Labiomental sulcus | the junction of the lower integumentary lip and the superior border of the chin, which may appear as a furrow; a natural facial marking. |

| Levator labii superioris | a muscle of facial expression which elevates and extends the upper lip. |
| Levator palpebrae superioris | a muscle of facial expression which raises the upper eyelid. |
| Ligate | to tie or bind using cord, wire, or thread. |
| Ligature | thread, cord, or wire used for tying vessels, tissues, or bones. |
| Line of closure | the line that forms between two structures, such as the lips or the eyelids when in a closed position, which marks their place of contact with each other. |
| Lip brush | a small, flat brush having soft hairs of uniform length. |
