In the Case of tumor excision in the lateral parts of the upper lip, the ensuing defect is usually closed by a rotation flap from the cheek. As a rule this procedure results in altering the nasolabial sulcus--one of the very striking natural structures of the face. We describe and compare the outcome of 3 different techniques of flapping (Burow's method, Schrudde's rotation flap, and pedicled flapping).
