Lip flips
If you’re looking to enhance the appearance of your lips without adding filler, the Lip Flip could be the perfect solution. This non-surgical treatment subtly improves lip volume, definition, and shape by utilizing a neuromodulator like Botox or Dysport to relax the muscles around the lips. The result is fuller, more defined lips with minimal downtime—without the need for any dermal filler.
What is a Lip Flip?
A Lip Flip is a quick and effective procedure that uses a small amount of Botox or Dysport to relax the muscles around the upper lip. By doing so, the top lip “flips” slightly outward, creating the illusion of a fuller, more youthful appearance. The treatment is non-invasive and requires no recovery time, making it a perfect option for those who want a subtle enhancement without the commitment of lip fillers.
Benefits of a Lip Flip
- Fuller Lips: A lip flip enhances the natural fullness of your upper lip without the need for fillers. The relaxed muscles allow your lips to appear more pronounced.
- Minimal Downtime: With no incisions or injections directly into the lips, the Lip Flip offers minimal recovery time. You can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
- Natural-Looking Results: The results are subtle and natural, giving you a more defined and refreshed look. It enhances the shape of your lips, giving them a gentle, plump appearance—without the “overdone” look.
- No Fillers Required: If you’re hesitant about using fillers or prefer a non-permanent option, the Lip Flip provides a great alternative to traditional lip enhancement procedures.
How the Lip Flip Works
During a Lip Flip procedure, a neuromodulator (such as Botox or Dysport) is injected into the muscles above the upper lip, specifically targeting the orbicularis oris muscle, which controls the movement of the lips. These muscles are temporarily relaxed, allowing the upper lip to subtly roll outward. The result is a fuller-looking upper lip with improved definition.
The procedure itself takes only about 10-15 minutes, and most patients find it relatively painless, with little to no discomfort. A topical numbing cream can also be applied to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process.
What to Expect After Your Lip Flip
- Immediate Results: The results from a Lip Flip can be seen within 2 to 3 days, with full effects visible in about 7 to 14 days.
- Minimal Side Effects: Side effects are rare but can include mild swelling or bruising at the injection site. These usually resolve within a few days.
- Duration of Results: The effects of a Lip Flip typically last around 1 to 2 months. Because the neuromodulator is gradually metabolized by your body, the results will wear off over time. If you wish to maintain the look, you can schedule follow-up treatments.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Lip Flip?
The Lip Flip is ideal for individuals who are looking to enhance the shape and volume of their upper lip but aren’t ready for or don’t want dermal fillers. It’s also a great option for those who have a gummy smile and want to achieve a more balanced lip appearance. Additionally, it’s often recommended for patients who want to improve the definition of their lip line and add volume to the upper lip without the commitment of a full syringe of filler.
However, if you’re seeking more significant volume or a highly defined shape, dermal fillers may be a better choice. During your consultation, one of our expert injectors will assess your needs and help determine if the Lip Flip or another lip enhancement treatment is right for you.
