V to Y Lip Augmentation

Information about V to Y Lip Augmentation Procedures with Dr. Andrew Jacono in New York, NY.

What Is a V to Y Lip Augmentation?

V to Y Lip Lift Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono Reviews Before & After Lip Lift Patient Photos.

A V to Y lip lift, also known as a V-Y lip advancement, is a surgical procedure tailored to patients who desire fuller, plumper lips. Dr. Andrew Jacono is one of the best facial plastic surgeons who offer this lift.

A V-Y lip lift adds volume to thin upper or lower lips. A small incision in the shape of a V is placed within the mucosa of the lips. Dr. Jacono then lifts the mucosa to add volume to the area. Finally, he closes the incision in the shape of a Y.

Generally, lip augmentation procedures that increase volume employ dermal fillers. These fillers are injected directly into the lips. Unlike these procedures, however, the V to Y lip lift uses existing lip tissue to accomplish dramatic goals.

Dr. Jacono carefully arranges soft lip tissue along the inner lip lining, which creates plumper lips. The V to Y lip lift is also more permanent than dermal fillers

Benefits of this Lip Lift Technique Include:

  • Increased lip volume
  • A more permanent augmentation solution
  • Restored lip balance
  • No visible scarring

How Long Does a Lip Augmentation Last?

Unlike some other cosmetic lip solutions, V to Y lip augmentation results is permanent. This means that patients will never have to undergo another surgical or filler procedure to maintain results.

What Is the Difference Between Lip Fillers and Lip Augmentation?

There are a few key differences between lip fillers and lip augmentation. Lip fillers, on the one hand, offer instant results, have a very short recovery time, and are less expensive. While lip augmentation, on the other hand, is permanent, offers more dramatic results, and may have higher associated risks like bleeding, bruising, and swelling.

Lip augmentations also cost more than a lip filler session. However, prospective patients should be aware that, over time, surgical lip augmentation is a more economical option than fillers. This is because fillers must be frequently reinjected to provide consistent results. Costs quickly accumulate.

What to Expect from a V to Y Lip Augmentation

Dr. Jacono performs lip augmentation in either his New York City or Long Island surgical center. The procedure takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour to complete. Usually, it is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area.

Because all incisions are made in the mouth, there is no visible surgical scarring. Some patients experience swelling, but this subsides on its own within 7 days.

Am I a Candidate for Lip Augmentation?

The best candidates for V-Y lip augmentation are men and women who want to increase the volume of their lips without dermal fillers. It is also a great procedure for those who have naturally flat or thin lips. Patients should be in good general health, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol before and after surgery.

The best way to determine if you are a good candidate is to meet with Dr. Jacono for a consultation. During your appointment, Dr. Jacono will determine whether the V-Y lip lift is the best procedure for your goals.

Overall, good lip lift candidates include:

  • Those who want fuller lips without fillers
  • Those with naturally unbalanced lips
  • Those with lips that are thin and shapeless
  • Those who had a rhinoplasty that left the upper lip too long

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
