The lips play an important role of passage of food as well as articulation and production of intelligible speech. So, the orbicularis oris muscle which composes the lip must act as a sphincter for the right structure. Also, the muscle conforms to the shape of the lips to make words. The surrounding cheek muscles antagonize and synergize to position the orbicularis oris sphincter. It is highly significant from the standpoint of reconstruction that the surrounding muscle can be separated from the orbicularis oris muscle without loss of sphincteric competence as long as the facial nerves and vessels remain intact. The authors performed the reconstruction of a lower lip defect due to human bite and achieved an exellent result from a functional and cosmetic aspect. This report with the literature is herewith submitted.
