Full-Thickness Lip Removal With Flap Repair

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 40527

Removal of a growth from the lip through its full thickness — the outer skin, the muscle beneath and the moist lining inside — followed by rebuilding the gap with a flap of neighbouring tissue that keeps its own blood supply. Reconstructing this way restores the shape of the mouth and the ability to close the lips, speak and eat. It is used when the area removed is too large to simply stitch together.
