My provider excised a lower lip vermilion border lesion (not full thickness) and then created a mucosal flap to reapproximate the vermilion border. Would I still use 14060 for the flap, even though skin wasn't involved? Thanks for any help.

Some of the lip excision codes have built in a flap or mucosal advancement as part of the closure. See 40500 & 40525
