What is the surgical method for correction of valgus lip?

Suggestion: Hello, there are several ways.

Z plasty is used for eversion lip surgery;

This valgus operation is suitable for valgus deformity caused by linear scar contraction of upper and lower lips. The scar can be removed during eversion surgery, and eversion surgery can be performed according to the principle of Z-plasty to correct eversion deformity. Because the scar after eversion operation is located in the natural fold under the nasolabial groove or lower lip, the scar is not very exposed.

Application of "V-Y" advancing flap in eversion lip surgery;

This eversion operation is suitable for mild eversion of lips. In the treatment process, in order to achieve the ideal effect after eversion surgery, before eversion surgery, we can check whether the tissues around the lips are soft and can slide. The pedicle of the V-shaped tissue flap should be located on the red side of the lip, and the depth of the incision should reach the muscularis. The tissue flap should be pushed to the red side of the lip, so that the everted lip can be fully reset, and there should be no excessive tension after suture.

Application of rectangular buccal and cervical flap in eversion lip surgery;

This valgus operation is suitable for valgus deformity caused by scar contracture of lower lip and corners of the mouth, just as the lateral cheek tissue is normal. When the contracture scar of the lower lip and mouth corner is removed by eversion surgery, a rectangular flap can be designed at the buccal neck and transferred to the wound surface of the lower lip and mouth corner for repair. Generally, the donor site can be directly sutured.
