Abstract:
Reconstruction of the total upper lip may be easily performed using fan flaps. However, two details must be taken into consideration: 1) the wide pedicle in the commissural angle, including the facial artery, must be designed, and 2) the mucosal flap must be 8 mm longer, in the inner portions, than the skin flap used to reconstruct the lip semimucosa.
