Background:
Lower lip defects are frequently encountered in clinical practice. However, approaches tailored to extensive, asymmetric defects resulting from malignant tumor resection remain limited. This report presents a case involving the immediate reconstruction of a large, asymmetric lower lip defect following excision of a giant squamous cell carcinoma and evaluates the applicability and outcomes of a modified surgical method.
Case Presentation:
An older adult diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip underwent complete tumor resection, followed by immediate reconstructive surgery. A modified nasolabial flap technique was used to address the extensive asymmetric defect. Postoperative assessments focused on facial symmetry, oral competence, and preservation of lip motor function.
Conclusion:
The modified nasolabial flap technique demonstrated effective reconstruction of extensive, asymmetric lower lip defects. This procedure ensured maintenance of lip contour and functionality, with minimal changes to overall facial appearance. Postoperative outcomes indicated high patient satisfaction and functional restoration.
