Neurotoxin Lip Flip

Does your upper lip disappear when you smile? Are you self-conscious about a gummy smile but not looking for a drastic lip enhancement? A Lip Flip with Botox could be the perfect solution for you. Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, Botox subtly enhances your upper lip by relaxing the muscles above the lip line, creating the illusion of a fuller lip.

If you’re not quite ready for a lip filler but still want to enhance your smile, the lip flip BOTOX® treatment is a great alternative. This quick, 10-minute procedure is already a popular choice at Specialty Wellness. Patients love how the treatment minimizes smoker’s lines and adds a natural, subtle pout to their smile.

What Is a Lip Flip With BOTOX®?

BOTOX®, a neuromodulator, is injected into specific muscles above the upper lip. These tiny amounts of BOTOX® block the chemical signals from nerves, relaxing the muscles and causing the lip to flip upward. The result is a fuller-looking upper lip. We offer this treatment with BOTOX®. BOTOX® works similarly but tends to show results a bit faster, usually within 24-48 hours.

Benefits of a Lip Flip

A Lip Flip BOTOX® treatment is customized to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. The benefits include

  • A subtle, fuller upper lip appearance
  • Correction of a gummy smile, exposing more teeth and less gum
  • Reduction of smoker’s lines above the lips
  • A cost-effective alternative to lip filler augmentation
  • No downtime
  • Natural-looking results within a couple of days
  • Prevents the upper lip from disappearing when smiling

How Long Do Lip Flip Results Last?

While most BOTOX® treatments last between 2-4 months, Lip Flip BOTOX® typically lasts about 8 weeks. Since the mouth is constantly in motion, the body metabolizes the BOTOX® more quickly. However, patients often notice visible results within just a few days.

What Is the Lip Flip Procedure Like?

The treatment is quick, virtually painless, and takes less than 5 minutes. Most patients report only a slight pinprick sensation and often do not require numbing cream. Depending on your muscle activity and anatomy, you may need 2-4 BOTOX® injections to achieve the desired outcome.

What Are the Risks of a Lip Flip Treatment?

Side effects are rare but can include mild soreness, redness, bruising, or swelling at the injection sites. In some cases, musicians who play wind instruments may want to reconsider this procedure, as it can slightly weaken the muscles needed for playing. You may also experience slight difficulty drinking through a straw right after treatment. Asymmetry in the smile or other complications can occur if the procedure isn’t done properly, which is why it’s crucial to seek a skilled provider.

Recovery After Lip Flip

There’s no significant downtime after a Lip Flip BOTOX® treatment. However, we recommend avoiding alcohol, intense exercise, and excessive heat exposure for the first 24 hours to ensure optimal results.
