Area of Science:

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
Geriatric medicine

Background:

Surgical interventions in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities present unique challenges.
Lip-switch operations are complex procedures requiring careful management.

Observation:

An 80-year-old female patient with significant accompanying disorders underwent a one-stage lip-switch operation.
Postoperative venous congestion was observed as a potential complication.

Findings:

The one-stage lip-switch operation was technically successful.
Venous congestion was effectively managed through conservative measures, specifically frequent dressing changes with wet gauze.

Implications:

This case demonstrates the feasibility of performing advanced reconstructive surgery in elderly patients.
