Growths on the lip can present challenging recontructive surgeries to achieve optimal cosmetic and functional results. Here are examples of both benign and cancerous lip growths.
Cancer of the Lip
Cancers necessitate large areas of tissue removal. Photo at upper right shows resultant defect of cancer removal as well as incisions in upper lip preparation for reconstructing the defect. Lower left photo shows the upper lip tissue rotated into the cancer defect. Lower right photo shows appearance 2 months later. Surgery performed by Henry Chang, M.D.
Other Lip Lesions
Even benign (non-cancerous) lip growths can have unsightly appearances. Photos above show benign tissue growth and resultant appearance after removal. Surgery performed by Henry Chang, M.D.
