Lip Flip

Lip flip results are subtle but profound. It is the perfect pick-me-up treatment for anyone wanting a small enhancement to their lips. A lip flip is a cost-effective way to lift the upper lip, and itโ€™s a great way to test out a fuller pout before taking the plunge with lip filler.

If you want your lips to appear fuller without actually adding volume, you can opt for a lip flip.ย A lip flip is a cosmetic treatment involving Botox lip injections that can give you a pouty look. Itโ€™s an ideal option if you want a more subtle result than lip fillers.

What is a Lip Flip?

We have more lip than is immediately visible. This is both good news and frustrating for anyone with a thin upper lip. What good is lip if the only thing seeing it is your teeth? This is where a lip flip comes to the rescue. By injecting a few units of a neuromodulator, like Botox or Dysport, along the border of the upper lip and Cupidโ€™s bow, you can โ€œflipโ€ the lip outwards. Because the lip flips upward, more of it is visible, and you get to enjoy a fuller-looking pout.

What Can You Treat With a Lip Flip?

A lip flip can treat a thin upper lip, but it is a great enhancement for medium-to-large lips as well. A lip flip is also used in the treatment of a gummy smile. By injecting a neuromodulator into the muscle responsible for a gummy smile, which can be done during a lip flip, the muscle relaxes, and less of your gums are visible when smiling and talking.

How Long Does a Lip Flip Last?

Some patients notice a difference in as little as four to fourteen days, with results lasting between 6 to 8 weeks. We will determine the regularity with which you should receive treatment based on your results, as results vary from patient to patient.

How Many Units of Botox Do You Need for a Lip Flip?

You only need a few units of a neuromodulator, like Botox or Dysport, for a lip flip, which is why it is the cost-effective route for enhancing your pout.ย  Most patients require 4-8 units.

Is a Lip Flip Safe?

Yes, a lip flip is safe. Both Botox and Dysport are FDA-cleared products. If you have any concerns, our team will assess your medical history extensively during the consultation; we welcome you to ask any and all questions that you have.

Side Effects of a Lip Flip

The most important thing to remember when undergoing any cosmetic or medical procedure is to choose a skilled, licensed provider. This will ensure that you receive the highest quality product, delivered in the safest possible way. Side effects from a lip flip are rare and usually temporary, typically only involving slight bruising at the injection site. Drinking out of a straw may also be difficult after this procedure.
