Abstract
A new technique using transposed nasolabial island flaps is presented for total reconstruction of the lower lip. This method enables the surgeon to close very large defects of the lower lip and since the flaps contain muscle the functional and cosmetic results are better than those achieved with traditional advancement flaps.
