Abstract

Lip reconstruction can generate a considerable challenge to the plastic surgeon because of their role in aesthetic balance, facial expression, speech and deglutination. The goals of lip reconstruction are to provide adequate replacement of external skin, oral lining and vermilion while maintaining the aesthetic balance of the vermiliocutaneous junction and to maintain the competence of the orbicularis muscle sphincter, the adequate diameter for oral aperture and the adequate labial sulcus depth. This chapter presents techniques for vermillion, perioral cutaneous, and full-thickness lip reconstruction. Traditional techniques were summarized and some new techniques were broadly described to optimize the functional and cosmetic outcome.
