What is a lip flip with BOTOX?

Lip flip upturns your lip enhancing the peaks of your vermillion border. If you are interested in filler but are not ready to commit, a Lip flip is a wonderful option and good starting point. And it's perfect for enhancing your profile or anyone interested in enhancing lips 

Lip flip is done by injecting the muscle above the top lip with Botox. What this does is relaxes  your upper lip, which causes it to “flip”out so it shows more pink color, appearing slightly larger.  It is a very subtle change and does not actually add any volume to the lip.  This treatment takes two weeks to see full results and  typically lasts about 4-6 weeks. It is usually recommended for patients who are thinking about adding filler, but are not quite ready.

What is the difference between lip fillers and a lip flip?

Lip Filler

Lip filler is done by injecting filler into the lips themselves. In our practice, this is done by using a Hyaluraonic acid filler such as Juvederm or Restylne products, which typically last 6-12 months. You will see results right away, although typically filler settles fully in 2-4 weeks. It will add volume to both the top and bottom lips, which can help define and shape the lips, add hydratation, and improve asymetries. Other characteristis include: 

  • It makes the lips fuller, adds volume and plumps them
  • Hyaluronic acid filler injected directly into the lips
  • Your injector has the ability to create a desirable shape to your lips
  • You will see the difference immediately after treatment
  • lasts 6+ months  

Lip Flip

Lip flip is done by injecting the muscle above the top lip with Botox. What this does is relaxes your upper lip, which causes it to “flip”out so it shows more pink color, appearing slightly larger. It is very subtle change and does not actually add any volume to the lip. This treatment takes two weeks to fully kick in and  typically lasts about 4-6 weeks. Other characteristis include: 

  • Makes the upper lip "flip" slightly upward.
  • Lip Flip makes lips look prominent, but does not add volume or increase the size of the lip itself.
  • Botox injected into the muscle above the upper lip.
  • It can take up to 2 weeks to see first results
  • Lasts approximately 6 weeks
