Port Wine Stains
Conditions
Brief summary
Patients with port-wine stains often develop macrocheilia, however, there is currently no effective treatment to significantly reduce the three-dimensional volume increase of the lips. This article presents a simplified five-step approach based on clinical experience, designed to assist inexperienced surgeons in performing this surgery effectively.
