Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dermatologic Surgery

Background:

  • Cavernous hemangiomas can necessitate surgical excision, leading to upper lip defects.
  • Reconstruction of the upper lip requires techniques that restore both form and function.

Observation:

  • A specific surgical approach involves elevating an apron-vermilion flap from the buccal side.
  • This flap provides adequate exposure for complete hemangioma excision.

Findings:

  • The technique utilizes the excised mucosa-vermilion flap for reconstruction.
  • Excess flap material is reduced to precisely sculpt the upper lip's contour.

Implications:

  • This method offers a reliable solution for upper lip reconstruction post-hemangioma removal.
  • Achieving a natural and aesthetically pleasing upper lip contour is a key benefit.
