Abstract
A case of reconstruction of the upper lip with a bipedicled submental flap is described. Although the mobility of the flap was restricted, the arterial blood supply was abundant by altering the single-pedicled flap into a bipedicled flap. This flap is a good color and texture match to the face, and surpasses other flaps in reconstruction of the mustache or beard in male patients.
