VY lip lift vs. traditional lip lift? (Photo)

lip lift would do you well but I still t hink you need fillers and daily hydration and plumping (lip rolling kit or essentials kit from emeragecosmetics.com).
lip fillers and lift will not help the corners of your mouth, that needs botox, threads or a lip corner lift.  sometimes an early face/neck lift helps. accutite can be a non invasive alternative. I would use daily hydration and plumping (see emeragecosmetics.com lip essentials kit).  everyone can do a little filler when done well really gives nice hydration and plumping.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The VY lip lift is often performed with corrective jaw surgery and in that situation it can provide a nice result. As an isolated procedure, the results are not sufficient enough to provide the lift that you need. Based on the measured distance between your nose and lip, a traditional lip lift is likely the preferred technique.

I recommend a traditional lip lift with extension laterally.  This will shorten the distance between your nose and upper lip, increase the mucosa of the upper lip, increase the incisor show and pull up the corners.  The operation is done under local anesthesia, takes less than 1 hour to perform and costs $3,000.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
