Abstract |
Congenital macrostomia is a rare congenital deformity that consists of an enlargement of the commissure of the mouth. The malformation may be unilateral or bilateral and has a polymorphic presentation. Various surgical techniques have been described to correct macrostomia, with only a few cases illustrating the expected results. The surgical repair must consider both esthetic as well as functional impacts for the patient. We here propose a technical note to refine and provide additional information for good achievement of “Double Reversing Z-Plasty” for correction of macrostomia. Our case series also reports good long-term functional and esthetic results obtained with this technique, especially in case of a minor cleft.
