“…Therefore, we developed the modified O-Z flap method. To design the modified O-Z flap, referring to the oval-to-z flap method and applying to circular defect, both the methods were combined to set the ratio of the scar length to defect diameter at 1:1, and the curved linear incision line was designed perpendicular to the center of the defect [ 13 ]. The modified O-Z flap method resulted in a better aesthetic outcome compared with the conventional O-Z flap method by confining the scar line within the vermilion while minimizing distortion.…”

Reconstruction of lip defects is important because the lips play an important role in maintaining aesthetic facial balance, facial expressions, and speech. There are various methods of lip reconstruction such as primary repair, skin grafting, and utilization of local and free flaps. It is important to select a proper reconstruction method according to the size and location of lip defect. Failure to select an appropriate method may result in distortion, color mismatch, sensory loss, and aesthetic imbalance. Herein we present a case of successful aesthetic reconstruction of the lower vermilion. We removed a venous malformation, which was limited to the lower vermilion and adjacent to the white roll, and repaired the defect using the modified O-Z flap.
