What Is a Lip FLip?
Often referred to as the Botox® Lip Flip, this non-surgical aesthetic procedure uses Botox to enhance the shape and [appearance of your lips.1 Unlike lip fillers, which enhance the lips by adding volume, the Lip Flip relaxes the muscles around your upper lip, causing it to gently roll outward. This creates the appearance of a fuller lip and enhances the natural shape of your lips without adding synthetic volume.
How Lip Flip Works
During a Lip Flip procedure, small amounts of Botox are strategically injected into the orbicularis oris muscle. This muscle relaxation causes the upper lip to roll or flip outward slightly, making it appear fuller and more defined. The treatment is quick, typically taking only 10-15 minutes, and involves minimal discomfort.
Benefits of Lip Flip
- Subtle Enhancement: Perfect for those seeking a natural look without significant volume.
- Non-Surgical: A quick, non-invasive procedure with no downtime.2
- Affordable: Generally more cost-effective than traditional lip fillers.
- Temporary: Results last for 3-4 months, allowing you to try the look without a long-term commitment.3
- Minimal Risk: Fewer risks and side effects compared to surgical options.
What to Expect During Your Lip Flip Treatment
When you arrive at MD Beauty Labs for your Lip Flip appointment, you’ll be welcomed by our friendly and professional staff. The treatment process includes:
- Consultation: We’ll discuss your goals and assess your suitability for the Lip Flip procedure.
- Preparation: The target area around your upper lip will be cleaned.
- Injection: A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox® into specific points around the upper lip.
- Post-Treatment Care: You’ll receive post-treatment instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, and there’s no downtime, so you can return to your daily activities immediately.
