Tongue-flap reconstruction of the lip vermilion in hemifacial atrophy.
The lips are key features to be considered in facial balance. Correction of lip atrophy in Romberg's disease, therefore, contributes significantly to restoration of facial symmetry. Along with other ancillary surgical procedures used for facial reconstruction in hemifacial atrophy, tongue flaps provide an excellent means of correction of the lip deformity with minimal morbidity and good results.
