[Labial commissures. Reconstructive procedures and indications].
The commisures are the two extremities of the mouth. They make a big complex in their architecture and their function.

The frequency of the retraction of the scarring tissue imposes additional muscular exercise which has to be premature, intense, and prolonged.
