FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, specifically to plastic surgery. Perform incision, de-epidermization of the flap. As a guide, use the red border of the lips. Then, the wound is closed. In this case, a strip of skin under the nose, 4–6 mm wide and 0.2–0.5 mm thick, is de-epidermized. Dermal-subdermal layer is excised, a dermosubdermal flap is cut out, and an autograft is formed from it in the form of an individual form using a cutting tool. Attach seams-handles at each end of the autograft. Along the edges of the upper or lower lip, two vertical cuts are formed, a tunnel is made through them under the red border of the upper or lower lip. Introduce the formed autograft into the tunnel and center it in relation to the line of symmetry of the lips, the seams-holders are removed.
