  • Title: Lower lip reconstruction with nasolabial flap--going back to basics.
    Author: Coutinho I, Ramos L, Gameiro AR, Vieira R, Figueiredo A.
    Journal: An Bras Dermatol; 2015; 90(3 Suppl 1):206-8. PubMed ID: 26312718.
    Abstract:
    Squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip is frequent, and radical excision sometimes leads to complex defects. Many lip repair techniques are aggressive requiring general anesthesia and a prolonged post-operative period. The nasolabial flap, while a common flap for the repair of other facial defects, is an under-recognized option for the reconstruction of the lower lip. We describe the use of nasolabial flap for the repair of a large defect of the lower lip in a ninety year-old male, with good functional results and acceptable cosmetic outcome. We believe the nasolabial flap is a good alternative for intermediate-to-large lower lip defects in patients with impaired general condition.
