Objectives: The learner will understand the basic difficulties and special considerations in upper lip reconstruction in order to produce results of a high aesthetic quality and how patient factors such as age and lip shape come into play.

Introduction: The upper lip can be a challenging place to reconstruct aesthetically due to free margin distortion and noticeable asymmetry.

Materials / method: Via case-based teaching and diagrams, cases of lip reconstruction will be reviewed with particular attention to minimizing common pitfalls.

Results: No specific results will be presented as I have not performed clinical trials in this area.

Conclusion: When lip reconstruction is planned carefully, outcomes can be optimized.

Objectives: Be familiar with optimal reconstruction techniques for defects of the vermilion

Introduction: Tumors of the mucous part of the lip make up for a large part of skin tumors of this region, in particular squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip and its precancerous lesions.

Materials / method: presentation of cases

Results: Surgical treatment should always preferably always be carried out with micrographic surgery. Reconstructions are, if possible, performed within this aesthetic sub-unit and include mucosal advancement flaps and mucosal rotation flaps. Wedge excisions including the underlying tissues are only rarely indicated.

Conclusion: The techniques described will allow for optimal results after vermilion reconstruction
