The Botox Lip Flip is a trending non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to subtly enhance the appearance of the upper lip. Unlike traditional lip fillers that add volume, the Lip Flip uses a small amount of botulinum toxin (Botox) to relax the muscles around the mouth—particularly the orbicularis oris muscle. This relaxation causes the upper lip to gently "flip" outward, creating the illusion of a fuller, more defined lip without adding actual volume.
Ideal for individuals with a thin upper lip or a gummy smile, the Lip Flip delivers natural-looking results with minimal downtime. The treatment takes just 10–15 minutes and involves a few precise injections along the border of the upper lip. Within 3 to 5 days, clients begin to notice the effect, with full results visible in about a week.
One of the main advantages of a Botox Lip Flip is its subtlety. It’s perfect for those seeking a mild enhancement or a "test run" before committing to dermal fillers. Additionally, it’s typically more affordable than fillers and carries a lower risk of bruising or swelling.
However, results are temporary, lasting around 6 to 8 weeks—shorter than fillers. A touch-up may be needed to maintain the effect.
In summary, the Botox Lip Flip is an elegant, minimally invasive option for refining the smile. It’s best performed by a skilled injector who understands facial anatomy to ensure balanced, natural results tailored to your unique features.
