Plain-English summary
A 1-year-and-9-month-old domestic cat had a serious injury where the lower lip was torn away from the jaw. After surgery, the healing process was slow due to limited tissue and the cat's inability to stay still at home, leading to a second surgery. To help with healing, the vet used a special treatment made from stem cell metabolites at the surgical site. This combination of surgery and the stem cell treatment ultimately led to successful healing of the cat's lip.

Abstract
Background: Lower lip avulsion is a separation between the lip and the associated soft tissue from the mandible. The degree of these types of injuries varies and heavily affects the outcome of the case. Case Description: This study reported an extensive lower lip avulsion managed by surgery and stem cell metabolite preparation. A one year and nine month-old domestic cats was referred for lower lip avulsion surgery to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital Airlangga University. Owing to the limited amount of tissue, immediate successful results cannot be achieved after the first surgery. Furthermore, tissue necrosis and lack of physical restraint to the cat at home contributed to the delayed union between the soft tissue and mandible, resulting in repeated surgery. Stem cell metabolites preparation was applied at the surgical site and was incorporated into the therapy to support tissue growth. Conclusion: The combination of surgical treatment and stem cell metabolite preparation resulted in good wound healing in the present case.
