The congenital double lip is a rare anatomical condition,
occurs most often in the upper lip at the lower, producing
aesthetic changes, the speech and mastication, in
the sufferer. We have treated two cases of congenital
double lip, one for aesthetic reasons and the other one
forfunctional reasons; no one of the patients developed
postoperative complication such as half labial constriction.
Were resolved by elliptical incisión technique, with
satisfactory aesthetic and functional results.
