For Subtle Enhancement, Try A Lip Flip

As part of the natural aging process, you might notice that your once full lips have started to thin. If you’ve ever wished for a little more pout without going for full lip fillers, the lip flip might be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s a quick procedure that uses a neurotoxin injection like Botox or Jeuveau to enhance the shape of your lips, without adding volume with fillers. So, how does it work? Let’s find out!

The Science Behind The Lip Flip

So, what exactly happens during a lip flip? One of our skilled injectors uses tiny amounts of Botox or Jeuveau around the upper lip, targeting specific muscles. The Botox relaxes the muscle responsible for pulling your lip inward, which causes the upper lip to gently “flip” outward. This gives your lips a fuller, more defined appearance, especially the upper lip, which is often the focus for those looking for a little extra volume.

What Are The Benefits?

One of the biggest advantages of the lip flip is how subtle the results are. Unlike lip fillers, which add actual volume to the lips, the lip flip only enhances the shape and appearance. It’s a great option for people who want a more natural, yet noticeable, enhancement. Plus, because it’s done with injections around the lips, there’s no need for needles in the lips themselves, which means less swelling and bruising.

The procedure is quick – typically taking only about 10-15 minutes – and there’s virtually no downtime. You might experience slight swelling or tenderness, but that usually fades within a day or two. Results typically last around 3-4 months, after which the injections begin to wear off, and the lip returns to its normal state.

Is It Right For You?

The lip flip is ideal for anyone who wants a subtle boost in lip appearance or someone who may not be ready for fillers just yet. It’s also a great option if you’re looking for an affordable way to enhance your lips while still maintaining a natural look. It’s especially effective for those wishing to minimize the appearance of a “gummy” smile.

If you’re after a fuller, more defined pout with minimal fuss, a lip flip could be right for you. If you’re considering this procedure, schedule a consultation with us to discuss it.
