lip flip
The Botulinum toxin Lip Flip is an incredibly popular procedure which involves placing just a little Botox along the upper lip muscle, relaxing the lip and creating a fuller, plumper but very natural-looking upper lip.
LIP FLIP is botox injections into the upper lip border to make it ‘flip’ and enhance the shape and achieve a fuller upper lip.
Botulinum toxin LIP FLIP involves the precise placement of just a few units of botox along with the upper lip muscle, and cupids bow at certain points, near the border, to relax and ‘flip’ the lip to make the lip much more visible. This results in a fuller, plumper, but natural-appearing upper lip. Which only takes ten to fifteen minutes. When injection botulinum toxin into the orbicularis oris muscle (which is the muscle surrounding the lips), the effect is that the targeted muscle relaxes. Using Botox to perform a Botox lip flip can help relax the muscle, therefore allowing the lip to flip upwards, creating a poutier look. Over the next few weeks the lips will appear larger and fuller.
BOTOX LIP FLIP results in a fuller upper lip, short recovery, very few risks, results in a few days, provides a natural appearance without looking drastically different.
A lip flip treatment is not suitable for everyone. If you are someone who suffers from having a gummy smile or very thin lip that folds inwards when smiling or laughing you may be a good candidate for this procedure. However; depending on your natural anatomy, if you are someone who has smaller teeth this procedure may not benefit you as relaxing the lip muscle can cause your top lip to completely cover your teeth when smiling and talking. Unlike dermal filler, the results are not instant. It will be about 7–10 days before you fully see the true results of the lip flip.
This treatment involves precise placement using just a few units of Botox around the lip to ‘flip’ the lip up and provide fuller, plumper but still natural appearing lips. It is an excellent alternative to fillers for patients who want a more subtle enhancement than fillers provide, or for those who want to enhance the shape of their upper lip with minimal effort.
Lip lines
The vertical lines above your mouth can be relaxed using Botox injections. Fine lines on the upper lip, also known as ‘Smoker’s Lines’, are not just a tell-tale sign of smoking. With the mouth being a very busy area of the face as it is where we directly speak and eat, it is little wonder that many of us succumb to tell-tale lines and wrinkles around this area. Increasing over time as we naturally produce less Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid, small lines deepen and become more obvious. This can result in make-up sitting in the creases, so drawing even more attention to the area.
