What is Lip Flip Botox?
A lip flip botox is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a little amount of botulinum toxin (Botox) to make the lips seem to be fuller. While the Botox is being injected into the upper lip, the field of injections is near the edges of the upper lip. This results in the muscles that help the lip to pucker to relax, and in turn, the lip curls outwards slightly.
A Lip Flip botox can be a good choice for the one who wants a slight lift on their lips. Through knowledge of the process, its consequences, and possible considerations, you can make sure that it is the right way for you to achieve your beauty aim.
How long does lip flip botox last?
A lip flip typically lasts between 3 to 6 months, providing temporary enhancement to lip shape and definition. After the lasting period the lips go back to their natural appearance and you will need to get a touch up every 3-4 months.

Benefits of lip flip botox
- Subtle Enhancement: Offers a natural-looking pout without drastic volume changes.
- Quick & Easy: Minimally invasive procedure with less downtime.
- Gummy Smile Fix: Can help reduce the appearance of a gummy smile.
- More Affordable: Generally less expensive than lip fillers.

Risks of lip flip botox
- Minor swelling/bruising: Temporary discomfort at the injection sites is possible.
- Uneven results (rare): A skilled professional can minimize this risk.
- Allergic reaction (rare): Discuss allergies with the doctor beforehand.
- Headaches (possible): Temporary headaches may occur after the procedure.
- Temporary muscle weakness (rare): In rare cases, difficulty smiling or pursing lips might occur. This resolves as the Botox wears off.
Procedure
- Consultation: In the first consultation, we will have a conversation with the dermatologist or cosmetic expert concerning your aims and expectations. They will analyze your lip shape and its structure to ensure that the lip flip is a suitable procedure for you. They will, therefore, review your medical history and explain the possible dangers and benefits of the surgery.
- The Procedure Itself: The actual lip flip botox is usually fast and it is tolerable. Your skin can be cleaned with an antiseptic solution, and depending on the doctors’ attitude towards the pain, a topical anesthetic can be applied for more comfortability. The professional will use a very fine needle to administer Botox injections at the sites near the corners and edges of the upper lip (vermillion border). A small amount of the solution will be injected at a time. The precise number of injection sites and the amount of Botox used will be tailored to your unique anatomy and desired results.
- Recovery: One of the advantages of lip flip botox is the fact that you do not need to go through downtime. You may notice a bit of swelling, bruising or soreness at the injection point but this subsides in a day or two.
