There is no perfect type of lip reconstruction that can work for every person. This is why it is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is trained in multiple techniques. Dr. Trussler performs a thorough examination of the lip defect, scar, or deformity and considers all relevant factors that can contribute to your cosmetic outcome. The goal of lip reconstruction is not to merely close a wound or revise a scar, it is to do so in the best possible way to restore or preserve the most natural movement and appearance of the lip.
