Abstract
Lips are important features because of their location, function, and aesthetics. Reconstruction of the upper lip presents the surgeon with one of the greatest challenges. Total upper lip reconstruction is a frequent and demanding procedure, and its difficulty is related to the size and the site of the loss of the aesthetic subunits such as the Cupid's bow and the philtral columns.
