Abstract
To investigate the reconstruction of 1/4 defect on upper-lip vermilion with a lower-lip vermilion compound tissue flap pedicled at oral commissure. At the first stage, the lower lip mucosal flap pedicled by inferior labial artery was transposed to reconstruct the defect on upper lip vermilion and tubercle. The defect at the donor site was closed directly. At the second stage, the flap pedicle was cut off and revised. 6 patients were treated with satisfactory aesthetic results. All the flaps survived completely. The oral commissure kept normal with no obvious scar at the donor sites. The modified crosslip vermilion flap pedicled at oral commissure has the advantages of avoiding inconvenience in feeding, speaking and cleaning. The procedure is simple with available blood supply. Both aesthetic and functional results are satisfactory.
