Lip Flip

A lip flip is a quick, non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to give your lips a fuller, more pronounced pout through the careful injections of neuromodulators mostly referred to as Botox, Juvederm, or Dysport. The injections relax specific areas of the orbicularis oris muscle surrounding the mouth, causing the lips to “flip” out and roll outward to make them appear fuller.

The procedure can give your lips the right amount of perkiness without giving the impression that you had any cosmetic treatments. It provides patients with a subtle, natural-looking enhancement for fuller-looking lips and a more prominent pout and visible upper lip.

The precise amount of drug injected into the lip muscles is crucial for a successful outcome. A licensed and experienced cosmetic surgeon must therefore perform your lip flip procedure.

Reasons you may want to have a lip flip:

Your upper lip seems to disappear when you smile or make a facial expression

You show too much gum when you smile

You want to add a slight pout to your lips

You desire plump-looking lips without the added volume

You prefer a less permanent treatment

What happens in a lip flip?

Before performing a lip flip, a qualified practitioner will carefully examine the patient’s lips and the areas around them to find the best sites for the injections. After they’re located, the optimal injection sites are cleaned for the procedure.

Cosmetic injections using neurotoxins such as Botox or Jeuveau temporarily inhibit the contraction of facial muscles and are usually intended to smooth wrinkles and age lines. When used on the outer layers of the upper and lower lip muscles, the product creates a natural appearance of fullness without affecting the lips’ functionality. This also reduces a gummy smile and makes any lines from smoking above the upper lip less prominent.

Employing a precise injection method, a lip flip accurately blends cosmetic substances that relax the lips and cause them to roll outward naturally. The result is a fuller lip appearance, which is enhanced by facial expressions.

During the procedure, tiny needles are used to inject a numbing agent which reduces pain and discomfort. The patient may feel a pinprick which may or may not be accompanied by a faint stinging sensation. A numbing cream can be used as there will be two to six needle entry points.

The lip injections are done in a matter of minutes, which allows the patient to get back to their normal day after the procedure.

What are the benefits of a lip flip?

There are several benefits patients can enjoy from a lip flip:

It‘s non-surgical and minimally invasive. All it takes is a few injections into the skin surrounding the lips. No complex preparation or long recovery is involved.

The lip flip procedure takes just a few minutes to perform. It’s a quick lunch hour appointment, even with the time for a unique facial structure assessment and finding injection sites factored in.

Lip flip treatments are safe. A minimal amount of Botox is required for the procedure. Botox is FDA-approved and has been trusted by cosmetic surgeons for many years.

Since the injections are into the top lip layer, the bruises won’t be deep and will heal fast. Bruising will be limited just to a small area surrounding the lips.

Recovery from a lip flip is quick since no downtime is needed.

Results are quick and last for months. Lips begin to look poutier in just a few days after Botox injections. The full effect can be seen between five days and two weeks, with results lasting for up to three or four months.
