FAMM flap reconstruction of the inferior lip vermilion: surgery during early infancy
J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg.
2008.
Abstract
The lips are complex, laminated structures consisting of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, submucosa and mucosa. Clearly when the lip is lost through injury or disease, it presents a complex reconstructive challenge. The facial artery muscular mucosal flap (FAMM), harvested from lateral cheek, is a composite flap with many features which make it an excellent option for lip and vermilion reconstruction. The authors present a review of literature and a case of a 2-year-old girl with medial lower-lip vermilion avulsion, reconstructed with a FAMM flap.
