If you’re here, chances are you’re not thrilled with your gummy smile and are yearning for a plump, luxurious one. Here you will find everything you need to know about Botox Lip Flip.

What is a Botox Lip Flip?

The Botox lip flip involves a treatment that gently relaxes the upper lip, causing it to subtly “flip” outward, resulting in a less gummy smile. This minimally invasive technique creates the illusion of fuller lips by enhancing your natural lip shape without the need for excessive volume.

How Long Does a Lip Flip Take?

This brief cosmetic procedure, conducted in the office, typically lasts only 10 to 20 minutes. The practitioner administers Botox injections into your Cupid’s bow (the center of your upper lip) and the corners of your mouth.

How Does Botox Lip Flip Work?

A small amount of Botox is injected, inducing temporary relaxation of the muscles surrounding your lip. This results in the inner part of your upper lip “flipping” upward and outward.

Is a Lip Flip a Filler Treatment?

A lip flip differs from filler treatments. With a lip flip, your lips achieve a subtle fullness, whereas fillers physically enhance their volume. The lip flip relaxes specific muscles, while dermal fillers add substances like hyaluronic acid to plump and shape your lips.

How Much Does the Procedure Cost?

A lip flip requires very few units of Botox, making it significantly more cost-effective than dermal fillers.

What About Recovery, Results, and Risks?

Recovery: Lip flips require no recovery time, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately.

Results: Visible effects manifest within a few days and continue to enhance over the following weeks. The full impact becomes apparent approximately 10 to 14 days post-procedure, with results lasting around 2 to 3 months. To sustain these results, additional Botox injections are required. For a more enduring outcome, Botox injectables last for approximately a year.

Risks: Lip flips are considered a safe and low-risk procedure. Some minor bruising or swelling may occur at the injection site.
