An extensive postburn deformity of the lower lip presents a difficult reconstructive problem. Efforts to reconstruct the resultant defect by conventional methods were found unsatisfactory. In a deformed lower lip, restoration of the contour of the lip with a well-defined mentolabial sulcus should be the aim of any reconstructive effort to bring aesthetic balance to the face. We describe a simple and effective method of restoring the function and form of the lip-chin complex.
