A lip flip is a nonsurgical procedure that makes your lips appear fuller. During a lip flip procedure, your healthcare provider injects Botox into parts of your upper lip. After about a week, the injections make your lip look fuller or “poutier” without adding any volume to your lip.
A lip flip won’t stop the aging process or change the structure of your lips, but it makes your lips look fuller without adding volume. It can help you achieve a desired look, which can boost your self-esteem.
A lip flip is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that uses small amounts of Botox (or a similar neuromodulator) to relax the muscles around the upper lip. This causes the lip to gently flip outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined upper lip without adding volume through fillers.
While both treatments enhance the lips, a lip flip doesn’t add volume as fillers do. Instead, it subtly reshapes the upper lip by relaxing the muscles, creating the illusion of a fuller lip. It’s a great option for those looking for a more natural look or who want to avoid fillers.
Results from a lip flip typically last about 2 to 3 months. Since it uses a neuromodulator, it gradually wears off as the product is naturally absorbed by the body, making it ideal for anyone looking for a temporary enhancement.
One of the benefits of a lip flip is that it’s quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime. You may experience slight swelling or redness at the injection site, but these effects usually subside within a few hours.
Initial results can be seen within a few days, with full results visible after about one week. The lip will appear slightly fuller as the muscle around the lip relaxes and allows the lip to flip outward.
A lip flip is ideal for individuals looking for subtle enhancement of their upper lip without the added volume of fillers. It’s particularly beneficial for those who feel their upper lip tends to disappear when they smile or who prefer a more natural, soft look.
