TLDR
New regional flaps supplied by these perioral arterial branches are proposed to restore lower lip defects and can be used safely to restore combined defects of the upper lip and nose or partial defect of the lower lip.Abstract:
We studied the vascular anatomy of the perioral region by dissecting fresh cadavers The anatomy of perioral branches of the facial artery consistently confirmed the existence of a septal branch and an alar branch to the upper lip and a vertical labiomental branch to the lower lip New regional flaps supplied by these perioral arterial branches are proposed in this paper The mucosal flap from the upper lip supplied by the deep septal branch or the alar branch of facial artery can be used to restore lower lip defects A composite flap from the lower lip supplied by the vertical labiomental branch of the facial artery can be used safely to restore combined defects of the upper lip and nose or partial defects of the lower lipread more

Journal ArticleDOI
Facial artery in the upper lip and nose: anatomy and a clinical application.
TL;DR: Vascular anastomoses were created in the upper lip, columella base, and nasal tip, and an intimate vascular network was formed, and a bilobed upper‐lip flap was created for a clinical case with a full‐thickness defect of the ala.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomic study of the blood supply of perioral region.
TL;DR: The vascular anatomy of the perioral region of the facial artery was studied in 25 cadaver dissections to suggest that knowledge of the location of arteries with respect to easily identifiable landmarks will help to avoid complications at surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Branching patterns and symmetry of the course of the facial artery in Koreans
TL;DR: It is shown that the diverse pattern of the facial artery distribution demonstrates individual variation rather than racial difference, and the superior and inferior labial arteries on the right side were more dominant than those on the left.
Journal ArticleDOI
The facial artery perforator flap for reconstruction of perioral defects.
TL;DR: The facial artery perforator flap offers a versatile tailor-made flap, because of the reliable presence of perforators, with a large arc of rotation and an aesthetically pleasing donor site, which makes it an ideal flap for one-stage reconstruction without secondary revisions.

TL;DR: The aim was to equip both the anatomist and surgeon with a more thorough understanding of the vasculature of the face, as well as to enable plastic surgeons to have a more confident approach to reconstructive procedures in this region.
