Abstract EN
Congenital double lip is a rare developmental anomaly which usually involves the upper lip.
It may occur in isolation or as a part of Ascher's syndrome.
The occurrence of double lip may result in facial deformity especially when patient attempts to talk, smile, or even try to show the teeth.
It affects esthetics and also interferes with speech and mastication.
Although surgery may be undertaken to facilitate speech and mastication, majority of cases are operated for cosmetic reasons.
A case of congenital double upper lip which was surgically treated for cosmetic reason is reported.
