What is a Lip Flip?
A Botox lip flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of Botox into the upper lip. The Botox relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, causing the lip to flip slightly outward, creating the appearance of a fuller lip. This procedure is particularly effective for individuals who want a subtle enhancement rather than the more pronounced results achieved with dermal fillers.
How Does Botox Work in a Lip Flip?
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles. In the context of a lip flip, Botox is strategically injected into the orbicularis oris muscle around the upper lip. This relaxation of the muscle allows the upper lip to gently roll outward, giving the illusion of increased volume. The effects of a Botox treatment typically last three to four months, making the lip flip a temporary yet effective solution for lip enhancement.
Benefits of a Lip Flip Cosmetic Procedure
The lip flip offers several benefits, making it an attractive option for those looking to enhance their smile. Some of the key benefits include:
Subtle Enhancement: The lip flip provides a natural-looking enhancement that avoids the overly plumped look that can sometimes result from lip fillers.
Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical procedures, the lip flip requires no downtime. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Quick Procedure: The entire process takes about 10 - 15 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Cost-Effective: The lip flip is generally more affordable than dermal fillers or surgical lip augmentation.
Temporary Effects: For those hesitant about permanent changes, the temporary nature of Botox offers a way to try out the enhancement without a long-term commitment.
Comparing a Lip Flip vs. Dermal Fillers
While both the lip flip and dermal fillers aim to enhance the appearance of the lips, they achieve this in different ways and offer distinct results.

What to Expect From a Lip Flip Procedure
Before undergoing a lip flip, it is essential to have a consultation with a licensed medical professional that specializes in these cosmetic procedures. During this consultation, the provider will assess the patient's facial anatomy and discuss their aesthetic goals to determine if a lip flip is the appropriate procedure.
Steps During the Procedure
Preparation: The area around the lips is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Injection: Botox is carefully injected into specific points around the upper lip.
Aftercare: Patients are advised to avoid rubbing the area and to stay upright for several hours to ensure the Botox settles correctly.
