Using a cross lip vermilion flap for upper red lip reconstruction in cases other than whistle deformity in patients with cleft lip can lead to donor site morbidity. If the practitioner performs primary closure of the mucosa in lower vermilion after flap harvesting, the width and height of lower lip are reduced, which results in an increased lower incisor tooth show. Using free fat grafting is an effective method for reducing donor site morbidity in the lower lip following cross lip vermilion flap harvest.
在非口哨畸形的唇裂患者中，使用交叉唇红瓣进行上唇红唇重建可能导致供区并发症。如果术者在采集瓣后对下唇黏膜进行一期缝合，会导致下唇的宽度和高度减小，从而增加下切牙的显露度。游离脂肪移植是减少交叉唇红瓣采集后下唇供区并发症的有效方法。
