Are you tired of smiling in pictures because it looks like you have no upper lip? Or, are you ready for a change when it comes to your lips but still feel unsure? A Botox lip flip could be the perfect option for you!

What Is a Botox Lip Flip?

A Botox lip flip is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the muscles above the lip. The Botulinum Toxin will relax the lip muscle, causing a fuller shape.

 

This fuller and more defined shape is even noticeable when you smile. Don’t worry about lines that have developed because Botox will smooth those out, too.

 

Lip flip with Botox provides a subtle enhancement compared to lip fillers. If you want to enhance the shape and fullness of your upper lip, Botox is a great option that requires less effort.

 

How Does It Work?

 

All it takes for a lip flip is to inject Botox just above the upper lip. A series of injections will go into the orbicularis oris muscle that encircles the mouth.

 

This muscle will then be relaxed so that the lip rolls slightly upward. This motion makes the lips seem more defined.

 

Patients can look forward to noticing the effects within a few days of treatment. The full botox lip flip results usually appear within a week. A lip flip can last up to four months.

 

Now that you have an understanding of what a lip flip is and how it works, there are some other things you need to know. Here are 9 facts about Botox lip flip:

 

1. It’s Different Than Lip Fillers

 

A lip flip is different than lip fillers. Depending on the patient, you may be more suitable for one rather than the other.

 

Fillers are used by adding volume to both lips while Botox works with just the upper lip. Botox won’t add any extra volume to your lips, making the effects more subtle.

 

Those looking for the pouty lip look, fuller-looking lips without adding volume, and a more temporary solution, should consider Botox rather than lip fillers. It is also a great option for those who think their upper lip is invisible when they smile.

 

2. It’s Affordable

 

You may have always wanted to try out lip surgery or lip fillers but find the price to be a turn-off. Premium Botox costs about $12 per unit. This treatment is affordable because you don’t need a lot of Botox to get the job done. However, the specialist who administers it should have a steady hand and a lot of experience.

 

3. It’s Temporary

 

It’s hard to change when there is only a permanent solution. Luckily, Botox is temporary, only lasting about three to four months depending on the patient.

 

This is perfect for those unsure if they will like the Botox look. If you don’t want to keep up with Botox, you don’t have to.

 

If you love the way you look with your new Botox lip flip, you can return to treatment about two to three times. Even then it is still a cost-effective way to enhance your beauty subtly.

 

4. No Recovery Time

 

Perhaps one of the best benefits is that there is no recovery time. This means you can get your Botox done and then go about your day as usual.

 

You may have some soreness or small bruising on the site of injection for the first day. These side effects don’t last and don’t debilitate you.

 

5. Negative Side Effects

 

It’s a fact that with any injectable treatment, there are possible negative side effects that come along with it. Getting the lip flip with Botox needs to be done by a highly experienced and well-trained medical provider to avoid any negative side effects.

 

An inexperienced practitioner could inject too much Botox which could cause you to lose certain mouth functions. These functions include sucking on a straw, eating, and speaking properly.

 

A medical spa will have the right people to ensure your lip flip gets done smoothly and without any complications.

 

6. Preparation Is Key

 

Like with any medical procedure, you are required to prepare for it in a certain way. A discussion with your provider will be the key to finding out how you should prepare for Botox.

 

The most common preparation includes refraining from alcohol, pain relievers, and other blood thinners for a few days. This can help reduce the amount of swelling. It is also important to note that you should not have any active cold sores at the time of the procedure.

 

7. It’s a Baby Step

 

The great thing about Botox is that it is a baby step into something more dramatic. It’s good to start slow if you are wanting a huge lip augmentation.

 

It is also a baby step for those unsure if they want the lip look or not. For anyone looking to try lip Botox for the first time, this is the best first step to take.

 

8. It Takes No Time At All

 

If you have a busy schedule, you can still get this treatment. A Botox treatment typically only takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete.

 

9. Your Confidence Will Boost

 

The main reason why people get Botox is that they are unhappy with how they look currently. A slight enhancement will do wonders for your lips and your confidence. You can feel good about yourself again once you are finished with the treatment.
