Ascher syndrome (AS) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by the presence of double upper lip, blepharochalasis and nontoxic goiter (complete AS). The nontoxic goiter is present in 10-50% of cases (incomplete AS). Trauma, hormonal dysfunction, autosomal dominant inheritance, defects in elastic fibers and allergy are possible causes. Surgery is indicated due to the compromise of facial aesthetics, trauma, or visual difficulty, and to restore the patient's quality of life. The present article reports the case of a patient with a double and blepharochalasis lip, diagnosed as a bearer of the incomplete Ascher syndrome, and describes the adopted conduct.

The skin flaps are surgical techniques particularly useful to aesthetic repair in cases of extended excision and/or unusual sites, as in the ear. Many skin flaps options were already reported, resulting in variable results of the theoretical knowledge and practical experience of the surgeon. This article aims to describe two successful cases of ear reconstruction with the use of anterior and posterior flaps and to review the current literature.
