Commissuroplasty is a procedure that is performed to correct deformities at the corner of the mouth or oral commissure. Herein, we report a case of postoperative microstomia treated with commissuroplasty using split dry lips. In a surgical procedure, the dry lip was divided into orbicularis oris muscle cutaneous flaps and transpositioned into the cleft formed. The deformation of the corners of the mouth improved, and mouth opening improved enough to wear dentures. We believe that this method enables commissuroplasty that combines aesthetics with function.

Objective: This study aims to review our experience in the surgical management of microstomia following facial burns.
Patients And Methods: For this retrospective study, we searched our burn patients' database for oral commissuroplasties with local mucosal flaps and reviewed the 18 patients suffering from microstomia after facial burns who had been operatively treated between 1995 and March 2007. Fifteen of the patients were primarily treated for severe facial burns in our burns unit, three were referred to our outpatients clinic for secondary reconstruction.
