In case of the central deficiency with concomitant lateral excess, local tissue rearrangement can be used to reposition the lateral tissue.

Vertical upper lip measurements of upper lip were recorded. Augmentation percentage was documented using follow-up measurements compared with preoperative measurements. The average follow-up period was 16.2 months (range, 9\u201326 months). The axis of the flap and central incision were placed on the red line (wet-dry vermilion border). Dissection was performed through the submucosal plane. After entire dissection, inter-orbicularis oris muscle suture on both medial edge of the flap was performed. In case it was necessary, back-cutting incision on both curvature of the central orbicularis oris could facilitate central augmentation. Elevated superior and inferior trap-door flaps were trimmed to make natural central lip line along with the lateral mucosal flaps. Both lateral parts of vermilions were closed in V-Y advancement fashion.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The vertical height of central tubercle (T) had a mean increase of 136.9%, which was significantly different from preoperative measurement (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05).
