Reconstruction of the nose provides many challenges owing to its differing subunits and varied surfaces. In this article, the nasal anatomy, anesthesia, and some of the reconstructive options available to the dermatologic surgeon are reviewed. These reconstructive options are based on the subunit and depth of the defect. This subunit approach may provide a framework of decision making and options that will help the dermatologic surgeon in reconstruction of defects on this unique anatomic structure.
Dermatologists commonly encounter lesions arising on the lips that require excision either for biopsy or treatment. Several surgical techniques used for excision and repair of the lip in the treatment of these conditions are reviewed. Topics covered include the importance of the lip, lip anatomy as it pertains to cutaneous surgery, techniques for obtaining lip anesthesia, partial-thickness and full-thickness lip excision and repair, surgical vermilionectomy, and carbon dioxide laser vermilionectomy. Emphasis will be placed on those surgical techniques that might commonly be used in a general dermatology practice.
