The needle should enter and emerge at about3 millimetres from the line of reunion, in case of the deep sutures, and at1-5 to 2 milHmetres in case of the superficial ones. The coaptation shouldbe exact without tightening the stitches too much. It will be observed that the reunion is obtained by superficial sutureof mucous membrane and skin, and that there are no deep sutures used,as is so A\Tongly recommended in the classical treatises on the subject. Theplastic result obtained in this way is much more satisfactory, and the thick-ness of the restored lip more
