What should I do if my upper lip is everted? What should I pay attention to?

Lip eversion is a very common facial symptom. If it is serious, it will not only affect the appearance, but also have a great impact on the patient's work and life. So what are the surgical treatments for lip eversion?

1. Mild lip eversion: Mild lip eversion causes slight deformation of the corners of the mouth, which affects the patient's appearance, hinders social activities, and brings psychological pressure and mental pain to the patient, but has little effect on the function of the lips.

2. Severe lip eversion: Severe lip eversion not only affects the appearance, but also affects the patient's normal work and social activities, and causes local functional disorders. For example, when severe adhesion occurs in the jaw and neck, the lower lip may be extremely everted, and functional disorders in eating, chewing, swallowing, language and breathing may occur. If this deformity occurs in childhood, it may be due to scar traction combined with extensive destruction of deep tissue or scar contracture.

3. Surgical methods for lip eversion: Surgical methods for lip eversion include: VY advancement flap, Z-plasty, nasolabial flap, rectangular cheek and neck flap, full-thickness skin graft repair, etc.

4. Precautions after lip eversion correction surgery: Limit mandibular movement after surgery, avoid activities with wide mouth opening, and give liquid food through a straw. If the child cries too much, comfort him/her to avoid causing the incision on the affected side to split.

From the above introduction, it can be seen that the surgical methods for patients with different degrees of lip eversion are different. When choosing a treatment method, patients must follow the doctor's advice and choose the most suitable one based on their own situation. In addition, after the operation, the wound must be protected to prevent wound infection and inflammation.
