Use of linked mucosal flap for lower lip reconstruction after human bite injury
An alternative method of reconstruction of a lower lip defect is presented, using a mucosal flap taken from the upper lip. This approach leaves the skin intact and therefore avoids skin scarring, with its associated unpredictable healing. The upper lip mucosal flap applied to reconstruct the lower lip injury was identical to the injured tissue type. The results were functionally and aesthetically excellent (as illustrated). This technique represents an excellent alternative to reconstruction of a damaged lip, with the benefits of minimal scar tissue formation and excellent aesthetic result.
