Lower lip malposition can occur after anterior mandibular resection as a result of the loss of soft tissue lip attachments. We report our technique of cranial suspension of the lower lip with fascia lata slings to improve lip position. Correction of lip ptosis results in cessation of drooling, improved oral intake, and restoration of facial aesthetics. Laryngoscope, 2025.

This novel hybrid single-double-single barrel (1-2-1) design for fibula free flap reconstruction addresses the unique challenges presented by Brown Class III mandibular defects, which involve long-span defects at both bodies of the mandible and the chin. The importance of this design lies in its ability to overcome the limitations of traditional approaches in terms of mandible height and pedicle length, while optimizing both functional and esthetic outcomes.The technique utilizes a combination of single-double-single barrel fibula segments to achieve ideal esthetics and support for dental prosthesis across different areas of the mandible.

Objective: To determine the effect of the nose and chin on the cephalometric lip profile.
Methods And Material: The pre-treatment lateral cephalograms of 177 adult patients with no history of orthodontic treatment were manually traced. The sample size was divided into three vertical and horizontal groups using angle ANB and MMA to assess the difference in nose and chin forms.

Vermillion lip squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare cancer, currently grouped together with the cutaneous lip under the cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) system. Herein, we present a case of an 81-year-old male with locally advanced lower lip SCC involving the vermillion who achieved a complete pathologic response to neoadjuvant cetuximab after the failure of the programed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor, cemiplimab. He was followed with clinical observation, with special attention to skin/mucosal surfaces.
