Successful surgical correction of the upper lip and nose defect using Abbe flap

The columella of the nose was constructed using prolabium. The raw surface of the upper lip was then corrected by using a switch flap. The base of the flap was then kept attached to the lower lip for retention of blood supply. Once blood supply has been re-established in the upper lip, the flap division was then done. The defective upper lip and nose now had a more natural and esthetic appearance. The patient was very satisfied with the results.
