ABSTRACTLip carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the head and neck region. Squamous-cell carcinoma is the most frequent type of histological cell carcinoma, chiefly affecting the lower lip. Different techniques for reconstructing defects of the lower lip after neoplasia resection are used; however, preserving the functionality and aesthetics of this area poses a challenge due to the anatomical position that causes accumulation of saliva, thus delaying the healing process. We present a total lower lip reconstruction extended towards the chin by using the Burow’s triangle, significantly improving functional and aesthetic results.
