The complex anatomy of the lips - with three different layers composed of skin, mucosa, and muscles - makes surgical management of this area a therapeutic challenge. The use of flaps for the reconstruction of large defects with low risk of necrosis is possible given the abundant blood supply of the lips. We report a case of surgical reconstruction of the lower lip after the excision of a severe squamous cell carcinoma using a skin-mucosa Abbe-Estlander flap with a satisfactory final outcome.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/AgedCarcinoma, Squamous CellEstheticsHumansLipLip NeoplasmsMaleMucous MembranePlastic Surgery ProceduresSurgical Flapsresearch article28538893open access10.1590/abd1806-4841.201752691806-4841PMC5429119http://www.scielo.br/pdf/abd/v92n2/0365-0596-abd-92-02-0260.pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5429119/pdf
