Abstract
Total lower lip reconstruction by the Webster - Bernard type bilateral full thickness triangular cheek advancement flap for a defect created by the excision of a capillary haemangioma
Highlights
The lips are of great functional importance in day to day activities
The flap design was made by marking the length of each cheek limb which was taken as one half of the length of the lower lip lesion
The Webster-Bernard flap is a useful reconstructive option for the lip defects created by surgical procedures involving the lip [1]
Summary
The lips are of great functional importance in day to day activities. The lack of any substantial fibrous framework, unique colour, texture, elasticity and lack of satisfactory prosthesis make reconstruction challenging. Case presentation The patient was a 66 year old male, who had a capillary haemangioma which was growing for 16 years to involve the entire lower lip (figure 1). The flap design was made by marking the length of each cheek limb which was taken as one half of the length of the lower lip lesion.
