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.
