ReviewReconstruction of Mohs Defects of the Lips and Chin.
Reconstruction of defects of the lips after Mohs micrographic surgery should encompass functional and aesthetic concerns. The lower lip and chin compose two-thirds of the lower portion of the face. The focus of this article is local tissue transfer for primarily cutaneous defects after Mohs surgery. ⋯ For small defects, elliptical excision with primary closure is a viable option.
