In the world of plastic surgery and cosmetic treatments, it’s common for something to be trending. But one lip enhancement procedure that will be here for the long term is the Lip Flip. A Botox lip flip is a cosmetic treatment that creates a fuller look without increasing the actual volume of the lip.
At Hollywood Body, our injection specialists are trained and highly skilled at helping patients get their perfect smile with minimally invasive solutions. We are happy to establish a treatment plan that is customized to meet your individual aesthetic goals. Whether you’ve got an event coming up or are ready for a change that enhances your natural beauty, we are here to help.
A lip flip is an aesthetic treatment that uses neuromodulators like Botox to relax the muscles in the upper lip. With strategic injections, this causes the lip to “flip” outwards, giving the appearance of a fuller upper lip. This procedure is unlike lip fillers, which involve injecting directly into the lip and adding volume, instead of above it without increasing the volume. Because of this, lip flips can provide a more natural-looking result.
Similar to the treatment for those with a “gummy smile,” where the upper lip may curl inward or disappear when smiling. It leaves you with a more full smile so you can walk around with confidence in your facial expression.
Botox isn’t just for smoothing wrinkles–it’s also a great way to enhance the lips in a customizable way. The entire process only takes 10-20 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, so you can get back to your day. Some of the top benefits of a lip flip include:
If you would like a more dramatic boost of volume or lip reshaping, it is possible to combine lip fillers with a lip flip to create the perfect smile. This is a common solution that patients choose to both enhance the upper lip’s shape and add volume. Some elect to have the lip flip done to address the upper lip while adding filler to the lower lip. The beauty of these options is that they are entirely tailored to your specific needs.
As a minimally invasive treatment, it’s common to not need any numbing agents before injections. However, if you have concerns, don’t hesitate to ask your provider about using numbing cream or nerve-blocking injections to help you feel comfortable.
During a Botox lip flip, one of our skilled providers will use a thin needle to inject Botox into parts of your upper lip. This includes the corners of your mouth and the edges of your lips. There may be small dots of blood during treatment, which we will absorb using a cotton swab.
Once the procedure is complete, we will monitor you for about 15 minutes to ensure you don’t experience any side effects (allergic reactions, nausea, or swelling). After that, you are free to return to your normal activities and can drive yourself back to your destination.
Your lips may be slightly swollen, sensitive, or numb for up to 24 hours after treatment. We recommend applying an ice pack for up to 10 minutes and avoiding putting products on your lips for a few days. It’s also best to refrain from putting pressure on your lips for a few days (which includes kissing or sipping from a straw).
As with any cosmetic treatment, not everyone’s smile is suitable for a lip flip. The ideal candidate is someone who has a hyperactive muscle around the mouth that causes the upper lip to turn in or pull up when smiling. This solution can also help correct slight mouth asymmetry.
Consider scheduling a consultation if you’re looking for a subtly fuller lip that maintains a natural appearance. A reputable provider will be able to assess your current smile, discuss your aesthetic goals, and offer you recommendations for the best treatments to help you achieve them.
A Botox lip flip can last three to five months, on average. How long your results stay visible depends on:
