Unilateral Macrostomia Correction through Vermillion Return Flap This child was born with unilateral macrostomia, which was on the left. There were no other associated structural abnormalities. Her parents presented at our hospital for corrective surgery. Treatment planning was explained to them and they consented to surgery. The new commissure was marked to ensure postsurgical symmetry with the normal right side. Orbicularis oris was reconstructed using the vermilion return flap. Repair was performed in three layers using the muscles, subcutaneous tissue and skin. This would result in negligible scar formation. She will now be able to speak clearly and eat without dribbling. Her appearance was also completely normalized with establishment of symmetry. Her parents were very pleased with the results of the surgery. 📞 Phone: +91 44 4294 7222 📬 Email: [email protected] 🌍 Website: www.smbalaji.com 📍 Location: Chennai, India #macrostomia #VermillionReturnFlap #UnilateralMacrostomia #drsmbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #maxillofacialsurgeon #maxillofacialsurgery #india #chennai #tamilnadu (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBabyqklS8K/?igshid=170yjcz50mm5f
