This image compares normal anatomy, on the left, with a reconstructed lower lip, on the right. In this case, the patient had a tumor in his mandible, which was removed. To restore the normal contour of his lower face, the surgeon used a flap of skin and fat from his neck, a second flap from his forearm, and a sling of tough fascia from his leg. The sling was anchored on his zygomatic arches and provides stability to the flaps.
