Reconstruction of upper lip scar using tissue expander advancement flap

Some patients who previously underwent burns have upper lip deformities or extensive scars so they seek for treatments.We reported a patient who had extensive scars all over the upper lip. In the patient's case, we reconstructed the entire upper lip using a tissue expander advancement flap from the bilateral lip. This improved the upper lip contracture and appearance. The removal of the scar from the upper lip provided a satisfactory result.The use of 2 large tissue expander advancement flaps from the bilateral upper lip has several advantages, such as inconspicuous scar, nice skin texture, and color match.
