Vermilionectomy is a surgical procedure for the partial or total removal of the vermilion border, used primarily for the treatment of actinic cheilitis. W-plasty has been considered superior to classic elliptical excision because it avoids linear scars and, therefore, lip retractions. However, the classic elliptical excision is still widely used. This article reports two cases treated with both techniques that achieved similar satisfactory aesthetic results.
