A lip flip might be exactly what you need if fuller lips are your desire but a more light and organic outcome appeals to you. Your lips get a subtle enhancement through the implementation of Botox instead of traditional lip fillers which allows for natural-looking results. Clients at our clinic have fast adopted this simple treatment that produces amazing outcomes.
A Lip Flip Procedure Explained
Small Botox injections in specific upper lip areas make up a lip flip procedure. Botox enables lip muscle relaxation, which results in the upward curve of your upper lip. A tiny lip curl produces an appearance of larger lips by foiling the illusion of extra plumpness.
This treatment offers the following benefits:
- Quick results (usually noticeable within a week)
- Minimal discomfort during the procedure
- Natural-looking fullness and shape improvement
- No need for invasive surgery or lengthy downtime
Lip Flip vs. Lip Fillers: Which Is Better for You?
Clients often wonder whether a lip flip or traditional lip fillers will better meet their beauty goals. While both treatments enhance your lips, they differ significantly in technique and results:
- Lip Flip (Botox-based):
- Subtle enhancement.
- Short procedure (about 10-15 minutes).
- Effects last around 2-3 months.
- Minimal swelling and bruising
- Lip Fillers (Hyaluronic acid-based):
- Noticeable volume increase
- The procedure takes slightly longer (around 30 minutes)
- Results last between 6-12 months
- Potential for temporary swelling or bruising post-treatment
If you prefer a discreet change, the lip flip is likely the better option. For significant volume, lip fillers may be ideal.
Ideal Candidates for the Lip Flip Procedure
A lip flip is suitable for many individuals, particularly those who:
- Have naturally thin lips or a “gummy” smile.
- Desire subtle lip enhancement without adding volume.
- Are curious about lip augmentation but prefer temporary changes first.
- Many clients want to skip the time off work, which comes alongside more complex therapeutic methods.
Patients need to seek a consultation before their procedure if they have health conditions or an allergy to Botox substances, or if they are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What Happens During Your Lip Flip Session?
We start your lip flip treatment by analyzing your lips and determining your goals at the consultation stage. The duration of the procedure takes between 10 to 15 minutes.
Here is what you can expect:
- We clean and prep your lip area.
- Tiny injections of Botox are carefully placed above your upper lip.
- You may feel mild pinching sensations, but discomfort is minimal.
- Immediately afterward, you can resume most daily activities without interruption.
Aftercare and Results: What You Need to Know
Recovery from a lip flip is quick and straightforward, with very few aftercare requirements. Here are our recommendations for the best results:
- Avoid strenuous exercise or excessive heat for the first 24 hours.
- Do not massage or press your lips for a day after treatment.
- Allow about one week to see full results as Botox gradually relaxes the targeted muscles.
Clients typically see subtle, natural-looking improvement lasting around two to three months. Follow-up sessions can easily maintain your new, attractive lip shape.
Choosing a Trusted Provider for Your Lip Flip
Though a lip flip may seem simple, results depend greatly on the skill and experience of your provider. At our clinic, trained professionals administer every treatment to ensure precision, safety, and beautiful results.
When selecting a provider, always look for:
- Proper certification and specialized training in Botox
- A strong portfolio showcasing natural-looking lip enhancements
