title: The Transposition Flap for the Reconstruction of Lower Cutaneous Lip Defects.
abstract: <p>The lower cutaneous lip is a highly visible and functionally sensitive unit, and numerous factors must be considered when deciding on the optimal repair for defects in this area. The transposition flap represents an excellent option in the reconstruction of larger lower cutaneous lip defects. We describe the use of random pattern transposition flaps for the repair of lower lateral cutaneous lip defects.</p> <p><em>J Drugs Dermatol. 2017;16(4):385-387.</em></p>.
