Upper and lower lips are structures of great aesthetic and functional relevance. In addition, they are a main aspect of the facial features related to self-image and sensuality. Their dynamics makes them function as the first sphincter of the digestive tract and as articulation structures of various phonatory points; hence the relevance of their adequate functionally and aesthetically reconstruction. When a significant percentage of the lip tissue is lost, local flap reconstruction options could be insufficient, requiring microsurgical flap transfers to achieve acceptable results. We present two cases of post-oncological microsurgical reconstruction, one upper and one lower lip, both with free radial flaps.
