BOTOX LIP FLIP

A lip flip with Botox is a treatment that subtly lifts the upper lip and gives it a fuller appearance without fillers. It is ideal for people who want a slight improvement without adding a lot of volume.

This treatment uses Botox to relax the muscles around the upper lip, causing the lip to turn slightly outward and giving the lips a fuller appearance, especially when at rest. During the treatment, a small amount of Botox is injected into the muscle just above the upper lip. This relaxes the muscle and causes the upper lip to lift slightly. The result is a natural looking lip that appears fuller, without the need for additional filler. The effect is most noticeable when you are at rest or talking, as the lip subtly lifts upward. Benefits of a lip flip:

 

  • Subtle result: The lip flip provides a natural, soft lift without adding much volume.

  • Quick and easy: The treatment takes only 10-15 minutes, and there is no long recovery time.

  • No fillers needed: It is an excellent option for people who do not want fillers in their lips, but still want a fuller appearance.

  • Minimal pain: The treatment is virtually painless, and any discomfort is usually short-lived.

 

The result of a lip flip is often visible after 3-5 days, with the full effect after two weeks. The result usually lasts 3 to 4 months, after which you can repeat the treatment. The lip flip Botox and lip fillers can also be combined well. With this combination you get the best of both worlds: a natural lift with extra volume and definition for a perfect lip look.

Lip Flip FAQ

1. What is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure using Botox to enhance the appearance of your lips. Botox is injected into the upper lip muscles, causing them to relax and gently "flip" the lip outward, creating the illusion of a fuller, more youthful-looking lip.

 

2. How does a Lip Flip work?
Botox is injected into the muscles around the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles and allows the top lip to roll slightly outward, enhancing its shape and giving the appearance of more volume.

 

3. Is a Lip Flip the same as lip fillers?
No. Lip flips use Botox to relax the muscles, while lip fillers (like hyaluronic acid) add volume directly to the lip tissue. A lip flip enhances the lip’s natural shape without adding significant volume, whereas fillers can make the lips appear larger.

 

4. How long do the results last?
Results generally begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible after about 2 weeks. Results typically last around 3 months. Botox gradually wears off over time, so the lip flip effect will fade, and you may need a touch-up treatment.

 

5. Is a Lip Flip painful?
The procedure is relatively quick and involves only small, shallow injections. Some people experience mild discomfort, but numbing cream or ice can be applied to reduce any pain or swelling.

 

7. Who is a good candidate for a Lip Flip?
Good candidates are those looking for a subtle enhancement of their upper lip shape without adding volume. It works best for individuals with a "gummy smile" or those seeking more visible upper lip definition.

 

8. Are there any side effects?
Possible side effects include mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. Rarely, Botox may cause an asymmetrical smile or difficulty in controlling the upper lip temporarily.

 

9. Can I combine a Lip Flip with lip fillers?
Yes, many people combine a lip flip with lip fillers for a more dramatic result. Botox helps with lip shape, while fillers provide volume.

​

10. Is there any downtime after the procedure?
There is minimal downtime. Most people can resume normal activities immediately, though you should avoid touching the treated area or lying down for a few hours to minimize the risk of the Botox spreading.
