The Botox Lip Flip Process
Every treatment at Dream Spa Medical starts with a personal consultation. We’ll discuss your concerns and your goals, and we’ll examine your treatment area(s). If a Botox Lip Flip in Brookline offers the best solution, we’ll create your treatment plan.
During the procedure, your provider injects Botox into the muscle above your top lip. Your upper lip relaxes, causing it to “flip” out and appear slightly larger and fuller.

Let our team help you on your aesthetic journey!
You make a great candidate for a Botox Lip Flip in Brookline if you:
- Want to increase the appearance of your upper lip.
- Wish to reduce a “gummy” smile.
- Seek to enhance your profile.
- Consider lip filler but aren’t ready yet.
Lip filler is done by injecting filler into the lips themselves. At Dream Spa Medical, our expert injectors use a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvéderm or Restylane products, which typically last 6 to 12 months.
Our lip flip procedure works by injecting the muscle above the top lip with Botox. Your upper lip relaxes, making it subtly “flip” out to show more pink color while enhancing the peaks of your vermillion border. The final effect makes the lip appear slightly larger. It is a very subtle change and does not actually add any volume to the lip, unlike lip filler. A lip flip takes 2 weeks to fully kick in, and typically lasts about 4 to 6 weeks.
This great procedure for enhancing your lips takes less time than a regular Botox treatment! When you come in to receive injections for your Botox Lip Flip in Brookline, it only takes about 10 minutes for our expert injector to strategically place your injections.
As a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment, a lip flip comes with no downtime. You can expect to resume normal activities right away. After treatment, we recommend that you avoid rubbing or massaging your lips. In about 7 to 10 days, you can begin enjoying a more inviting, attractive smile, with results lasting around 4 to 6 weeks.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for a Botox Lip Flip in Brookline
Botox is a wrinkle relaxer, also known as neuromodulators or neurotoxins.
- Women who are pregnant or nursing should not be treated with wrinkle relaxers.
- We suggest that if you are actively trying to conceive, you consult your physician before being treated with wrinkle relaxers.
- Please allow 2 weeks before and after any vaccinations and your treatment.
- It is best to avoid alcohol & blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc) 24 to 48 hours prior to your treatment. This may increase your risk of bruising.
- If you are prone to and being treated in an area that may cause a Herpes Labialis outbreak, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- You may consider having at least a snack or a small meal within an hour of your appointment. Getting injected with needles can at times cause you to feel “queasy” or unwell. It always helps to have a little something in your stomach to combat those feelings. We keep juice and snack bars on hand in case you need a little pick-me-up mid-treatment!
- The treatment area may feel sensitive or tender to the touch. This should resolve within 24 hours.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity, and sweating for 24 to 48 hours.
- Visible injection marks are normal and to be expected in most cases. This usually subsides within 24 hours.
- Treated areas should be cared for gently when washing your face or applying products. It is best to not touch or manipulate the treated area.
- Do not scratch or pick at the injection sites, as this may cause infection.
- We suggest waiting a full 2 weeks before any additional treatments such as facials, peels, laser treatments, etc.
- Wrinkle relaxers may take up to a full 2 weeks to see your final results. For this reason we strongly recommend waiting this time before any further or additional treatment for your Botox Lip Flip.
- Try to sleep on your back, with your head elevated, for 1 to 2 nights.
All neuromodulators take time to activate and settle into your muscle. The time it takes varies for everyone. You can expect to see your product “kicking in” anywhere between 2 to 14 days.
Although our skilled providers take many precautions in an attempt to prevent bruising, it is a possibility and is an expected and normal side effect of the injection process. We suggest using Arnica gel (may be found in any drugstore) after your treatment to help minimize any bruising.
