title: Triple V-Y Vermilion Augmentation of the Upper Lip.
abstract: Lip enhancement is one of the most common procedures in the facial cosmetic surgery. The most important reason for that is the fact that fullness of lips symbolizes youth and sensuality. The authors present 2 patients whose upper lip vermilion dimension was increased using the triple V-Y augmentation surgical technique. The main request for both was augmentation of the upper lip without dermal fillers and implants into the lip. Treatment and postrecovery were routine. After 1 month both upper lips had satisfactory look with the preservation of curvature of the Cupid's bow and natural appearance.The V-Y lip augmentation technique can be a method of choice for lip enhancement in adequately selected patients.
