Abstract
In three patients of different ages, large resections of the philtrum have been repaired by rotating island flaps from the residual philtrum, leaving inconspicuous scars and no contour deformity. The rotated hemiphiltrum flap described here is an easy and safe procedure performed with local anesthesia that may be an effective cosmetic and functional repair of selected difficult surgical defects of the central upper lip involving the philtrum.
