RT Book, Section A1 Kantor, Jonathan SR Print(0) ID 1190160800 T1 The Lips T2 Atlas of Suturing Techniques: Approaches to Surgical Wound, Laceration, and Cosmetic Repair, 2e YR 2022 FD 2022 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9781264264391 LK dermatology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1190160800 RD 2024/03/28 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.
