Abstract
Although division of the lip with elevation of the cheek flap gives good exposure
for resection of intraoral neoplasms, it does create some cosmetic and functional
problems after surgery. Adequate exposure can be obtained by mobilizing the chin and
cheek flap across to the contralateral side without dividing the lip and chin, and
rotating this flap upward over the nose and upper lip as a visor. The preservation
of continuity of musculature of the chin and lip produces a better functional result
and more cosmetic appearance.
