Reconstruction of the lower lip


 * Primary closure
 * we make sure that the scar crosses the border between the skin + lip redness in a perpendicular direction
 * Full-thickness excision of the lip
 * solves a defect < 2 cm
 * from the point of view of restoring the contour, W-excision is more advantageous, possibly Z-plasty of lip redness
 * Mucomuscular shift
 * for defects affecting vermilion only
 * Stair shift
 * solves defects up to 2/3 of the lower lip
 * the usual range of displacement is 2 to 4 "stairs" that replicate the chin
 * Abbe's lobe
 * we solve the defect of the lower lip by twisting the lobe from the upper lip, which we disconnect in the 2nd period
 * Lobes according to Estlander, Gillies and Karapandzic
 * move the tissue for reconstruction from the nasolabial fold
 * Total reconstruction of the lower lip
 * exceptional intervention
 * the procedure according to Bernard and Webster can be used
