WORTH IT
About 4 years ago I had the tip of my nose refined and VY Plasty to my top lip. Dr mani did my lip for me in office. Really easy procedure- no implants or fillers. I had a thin top lip. In the before pic I had some lip liner drawn on so my lip was actually thinner than it appears. It was swollen for a long time but when the swelling went down it was so perfect and natural looking. I did Lipo when I did the nose but I don't have any pics of that. I was very square shaped and Dr mani contoured my waist. I have a different review where I have posted all the work he has done on my but I wanted to separate the reviews for people who are searching for that specific procedure.

Hey Bluebird80, I am really interested in the VY pasty you had on your upper lip! It looks amazing and so soft and natural! Question: Did it lengthen or shorten your upper lip at all? In other words, did tooth show remain about the same or did it increase the visibility of your upper teeth? Maybe that was never your issue, but just wanted to know how that aspect was affected.... Thanks! All of your reviews are great, by the way!!

Wow that's a good question! It can be don't on people who have gummy smiles and lower to rear the tooth and their gums not show. It's something Jennifer Garner obviously did. It depends on ur needs and technique and the dr can tailor it to do it the way you want it. My dr did it in a way that it only pushed up the top of my lip ur and out to show more lip skin. It didn't affect my tooth show or smile. It did for about 2 weeks I looked like a feak to be honest lol but after the swelling went down it's simply natural. My husband didn't want me to do it and he was freaked out after when he saw the swelling n thought I was gonna have huge lips but when it all settled he loves my lips now n doesn't want me to do anything else to them cuz they look natural and not fake Implant or filler look. I don't know where u live but be selective in who u choose as a surgeon cuz my dr invented the modification to the VY Plasty to give this effect and not all surgeons may be familiar with it. It's one of the things I'm so glad I did I don't have to ever think of needing lipstick or liner. My top lip was also crooked. I'll post in a minute the pics the dr took.
