  • Title: Reconstruction of Mohs Defects of the Lips and Chin.
    Author: Larrabee YC, Moyer JS.
    Journal: Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am; 2017 Aug; 25(3):427-442. PubMed ID: 28676167.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of defects of the lips after Mohs micrographic surgery should encompass functional and aesthetic concerns. The lower lip and chin compose two-thirds of the lower portion of the face. The focus of this article is local tissue transfer for primarily cutaneous defects after Mohs surgery. Various flaps exist for repair. For small defects, elliptical excision with primary closure is a viable option. During reconstruction of the lip, all of the involved layers need to be addressed, including mucosa, muscle, and the vermillion or cutaneous lip. It is especially important to realign the vermillion border precisely for optimal results.
