Lip reconstruction following resection for tumour or following extensive trauma may pose a challenge. This is more so when the resection is total and a complete lip has to be constructed. We present a case of lip reconstruction following a total resection of the upper lip. The procedure used in this case was a combination of bilateral nasolabial flaps with a submental flap and buccal mucosal graft lining. We believe that this provides an alternative method of total upper lip reconstruction with minimal disruption of the facial aesthesis.

This study analyzed our institution’s experience with a buried submental flap for soft tissue reconstruction following radical parotidectomy. A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients who had parotid malignancies requiring radical parotidectomy, who also underwent a buried submental flap reconstruction. Analysis included patient demographics and clinical, surgical, and outcome data. Three patients met criteria for this study who underwent a buried submental flap at a tertiary medical center between 2012 and 2016. All patients had oncologic surgery and reconstruction using a deepithelialized submental island flap, which was used to fill the radical parotidectomy surgical defect with no complications and good aesthetic results. Each patient received appropriate adjuvant therapy. This case series shows that the buried submental island flap is a versatile flap that is adequate bulk after radical parotidectomy. It also has no impact on hospital length of stay and provides excellent cosmetic outcomes with minimal donor site morbidity.
