| Popis: | We describe a variation of the conventional vermilionectomy consisting of incisions using the W-plasty technique, which allows a more distensible scar with better cosmetic and functional results. Its primary indications are actinic cheilitis and leukoplakia of the lower lip. It is a more complicated technique than the classic one, and requires a larger loss of skin, but the benefits largely outweigh the drawbacks. |
