TREATMENT

Patient should be restrained before surgical repair. Hemostasis and debridement in addition to antibiotic therapy is usually initiated until the severity of the damage is assessed.
To close lip wounds, simple interrupted absorbable sutures are placed in the muscle and submucosa .
The mucosa is not included in the suture, and the knots lie deep in the lip tissue. Repair of large lip defects needs a skin flap or graft .The overlying skin is closed with simple interrupted sutures or vertical mattress sutures through the mucosa, submucosa, and muscle with the knots on the oral mucosa side. Fig A
Knots are also placed with out exposing to oral mucosa as in fig B
Post operative antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for 5 days Soft light food till wound heals . Suture removal is reccomended after 10-14 days .
