Primary anatomic reconstruction in upper and lower lips: case report

Resumo

Extensive lip injuries reconstructions require a strategy of treatment. First, the strategy can follow the anatomical references in order to closure the injury reestablishing the lip functions. This article report a reconstruction of an extensive lip injury after a convulsion and a fall in height in a male patient. The lip reconstruction by anatomical reconstruction was effective for immediate structural maintenance and allowed a favorable healing for the second surgical stage.
