A simple method of transposing bilateral lateral vermilion border flaps into the midposterior line of the prolabium to correct the "whistling lip" deformity is presented. This method makes it possible to decrease the upper lip tension, deepen the labiogingival sulcus, and reconstruct a peaked tubercle.
