Correction of macrocheilia due to hyperplasia of the labial salivary glands.
A method for the correction of macrocheilia due to hyperplasia of labial salivary glands is presented. It can be carried out as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. A vermilion flap is elevated, providing good exposure for adequate excision and preventing lip distortion. In this method, bulkiness of the lip is reduced, preserving the normal general contour of the entire lip.
