Abstract

Upper cutaneous lip reconstruction after the excision of a malignancy can be accomplished in several ways. The principles of an ideal upper lip reconstruction must accomplish an adequate balance between surgery with curative intention, functional competence preservation and acceptable cosmetic result. Herein the authors describe, with an illustrative case, a bilateral (or opposing) V-Y advancement flap, which is very useful in reconstructions of medium-large defects of upper cutaneous lip.
