Lip reconstruction after tumor excision is challenging because the results must be functional and cosmetic. In this context, Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is essential in ensuring maximum tissue preservation, with lower recurrence rates and the possibility of less complicated reconstructions.We report three cases of lip tumors treated with Mohs surgery, whose reconstruction was performed with island advancement flaps (V-Y).The relevance of the correct management of this type of tumor is discussed,highlighting the use of Mohs surgery and V-Y advancement flap,which provide satisfactory aesthetic and functional results.
