What Do You Think About the VY Plasty Lip Technique?

There are many procedures that can use the VY advancement.  But I assume you are talking about the upper lip and augmentation.
This is surgery and the results are not optimal.  You can achieve the same results if not better with filler augmentation.

VY plasties have been used to evert the lips and give more fullness to thin lips.  It can be beneficial in some patients but it is definitely not for all patients.  I prefer to use fillers to get the same result without the potential complications( i.e scarring) that can develop from lip surgery.

I have performed this operation years ago. The technique is a tired old technique of EVERTING the pink mucosa of the lip and augment it at the same time. The more pink works temporarily because of the swelling caused by the surgery more than anything else presumably by slowed drainage of lip lymphatic.
In MY opinion it is an expensive way to replicate the effect of a punch in the lip. As soon as the inflammatory component goes away so does much of the result.
In these days with so many fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm out there, I would not perform this operation. Leave it alone unless you truly have an extreme case.
