L M Field. J Dermatol Surg Oncol. 1992 Mar.

Abstract

The majority of lip repairs may be better facilitated by initially repairing the infravermilion cutaneous defect and then separately considering repair of the mucosal and, when present, submucosal defect. These sequential considerations allow a variety of reconstructive approaches to be applied to the different types of tissue lost above and below the vermilion border. Many of the sequelae of standard wedge excisions and their resultant repairs may be avoided by utilizing sequential infravermilion and supravermilion lip reconstruction.
