Abstract

Lip augmentation using a specially designed double V-Y advancement flap has been performed on eight patients, and a total of 14 lips were done. The results in the patients who are now over 1 year postoperative are encouraging as a permanent solution to augment thin lips. Relatively long postoperative swelling and stiffness have been a drawback and require careful patient selection.
