Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • The columella presents significant reconstructive challenges due to its susceptibility to damage.
  • Current reconstructive techniques often involve complex flap harvest and donor site morbidity.
  • A novel local flap, the lip lift flap, is presented for focal columellar defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate the lip lift flap as an alternative reconstructive technique for the columella.
  • To present a case series and literature review of this modified operative technique.
  • To assess the efficacy and outcomes of the lip lift flap in columellar reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients undergoing lip lift flap reconstruction by a senior surgeon (July 2022 - September 2023).
  • Indexing of patient demographics, surgical details, and outcomes.
  • Literature review to support the proposed technique.

Main Results:

  • Three patients with total columellar loss (without tip involvement) were treated.
  • All patients achieved subjective aesthetic improvement with excellent color and texture match.
  • No complications, including flap necrosis or poor donor site scarring, were observed.

Conclusions:

  • The lip lift flap effectively provides skin and soft tissue coverage for columellar reconstruction.
  • This technique restores columellar length and strength with satisfying aesthetic results.
  • Simultaneous placement of costal cartilage strut grafts was feasible without compromising neovascularization.
