AB The  lips,  like  the  eyelids,  represent  a  special  site;  they  often  have  only  a  modest  dermal  component,  necessitating  consideration  of  alternative  repair  strategies,  and  represent  a  free  margin,  as  they  are  fixed  in  place  only  by  muscle.  Therefore,  any  lateral  tension  across  the  lips  often  translates  into  a  long-standing  residual  pull  that  does  not  resolve  with  time.
