Figure 3. T-plasty. (A) T-plasty planned to close a cutaneous defect of the upper lip. The horizontal limb is hidden along the vermillion border. The defect is extended to form an A shape to allow for the vertical limb to fall along the philtrum without tissue redundancy. (B) Closure following advancement. Scars are well hidden and the upper lip retains appropriate length. This figure is used from senior authors’ previous work, Shew et al.[1]. Rights retained.
