lip lift
V-Y lip lift
Another variation of a lip lift is for a surgeon to make an incision inside the mouth to loosen the mucosa and vermilion, which are then advanced and secured, leaving a portion of scar tissue inside the mouth which may take 2–4 months to heal. Yet another technique uses a "W" incision inside the mouth to create several "V" flaps, which are then used in a V-to-Y plasty technique to advance the vermilion of either or both lips.[3] This procedure leaves no exposed areas inside the mouth, but can be painful and has a lengthy recovery period.
