Abstract

Post-burn eversion scars of the lower lip represent one of the most challenging problems in reconstructive plastic surgery due to significant disruption of anatomical and functional structures and a high tendency of tissues to develop recurrent scarring. This article is devoted to the analysis of current approaches to the treatment of lower lip scar deformities after burns and to the substantiation of ways to improve the effectiveness of comprehensive therapy. An analytical review of the literature was conducted, the limitations of existing correction methods were identified, and key principles for optimizing the therapeutic and rehabilitative process were determined. A conceptual model of comprehensive treatment is proposed, including stages of preoperative preparation, surgical correction, and postoperative rehabilitation with the use of modern minimally invasive and physiotherapeutic technologies. The results may serve as a basis for improving clinical recommendations and enhancing functional and aesthetic outcomes in patients with this pathology.
