Hmmm… they say smoking and alcohol contributed to this man having his upper and lower lips eaten away.

A 56 year-old white male with a history of heavy alcohol and tobacco use presented with a 14-month history of an enlarging lesion involving the upper and lower lips.

Examination revealed an ulcerating exophytic lesion involving the entire lower

The picture below - A free fibula osteocutaneous flap with 14 cm of bone and a 20 x 8 cm skin paddle was used to reconstruct the mandible, intra-oral lining and lower lip externally. Microvascular anastomosis was performed to the facial vessels. A palmaris longus tendon sling was used to suspend the lower lip reconstruction. A pedicled tongue flap was used to provide vermilion and mucosal lining for the right upper lip reconstruction.

lip, right two-thirds of the upper lip, floor of mouth, right lower alveolus, buccal mucosa, and skin of the chin and right cheek. The tongue was mobile and unrestricted. There was numbness in the mental area, and palpable bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy (whatever that may mean).

The right upper lip was reconstructed with a pedicled scalp flap to provide hairy skin externally, with the pedicled tongue flap (Figure 3a) providing vermilion and mucosal lining. Finally a residual skin defect over the chin was reconstructed with a pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.

Corset Piercings, Kinda an odd thing that falls into a an area that is non surgical but still a process that involves the piercing of flesh.

Most of thee are temporary and done for exhibitions and shows. The problem with corset piercing is that there are many incisions, most of which will be rejected by the body over time causing scars and maybe infection if left in.

The way it works is that the back or side skin is pierced and a ring or bar inserted that a ribbon can slide through to acieve the final effect of a corset.

This may look kinda sexy in a very painfull way, but not very practical to try to keep in, again it’s meant to be temporary even though some have tried to keep it up for weeks and even months.

As with any extreme piercing there are hundreds, thousands even of pictures available on the internet of brand new pircings, but very, very few of older, healed ones.

An article I read suggested that the reason for that is simple… the piercings look great when fresh, but once rejection, healing and scars set in, it does not look as good and the people are not willing to have them posted. It sounds reasonable to me… I mean who wants pictures of their puss filled, bloated wounds posted all over the internet?

anyway, we are stuck with fresh piercing picks and none of the puss filled ones because I have not found them.

OK, I can understand having a friend come with you as support when piercing a body part, but a bakers dozen seems to be a few to many hands in the cookie jar at the same time creating a very long, torturous procedure out of what should be a split second. Torturous 15 minute nose piercing gone sideways. I Wasn’t sure if this even went into surgeries, torture or jokes… hmm.
