Information regarding the design and usage of inferiorly based nasolabial flap for lower lip and commissural defect reconstruction following ablative cancer surgery remains limited. This study aimed to provide our design and experiences for such reconstructive purpose. ⋯ Inferiorly based nasolabial flap is an excellent local flap for lower lip reconstruction following cancer ablative surgery. It is also a viable option for reconstruction of oral commissural defects. Minimal donor side morbidity, good functional recovery, and esthetic outcomes can be achieved with meticulous flap design.
