Reconstruction of the Lower Lip Region: An Example of Versatility of Naso-Labial Flap
Abstract
The nasolabial flap represents a valid and well known option to reconstruct defects of the lower lip as in the following case. An 82-year-old male patient with a basal cell carcinoma located on the right lower lip skin had a surgical excision under local anesthesia. The large surgical defect was closed with an inferiorly based pedicle nasolabial flap, with no flap necrosis and acceptable functional and aesthetic results.
