Does your upper lip curl inward when talking or laughing? A lip-flip treatment is ideal if you want and natural, subtle improvement of the upper lip without extra volume.
A lip-flip with botox is a cosmetic treatment in which botox injections are used to subtly elevator the upper lip. The botox is injected into the muscle around the mouth, also called the orbicularis oris muscle. This causes this muscle to relax slightly and the upper lip to curl outward slightly. This gives a fuller appearance to the upper lip without adding extra volume, as with fillers.
A lip-flip and lip fillers are both cosmetic treatments to improve the lips, but they work differently and produce different results.
A lip-flip is performed with botox. It relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, causing the lip to subtly curl up and appear slightly larger. It is a subtle, natural enlargement without extra volume. The effect of a lip flip lasts an average of 3 months before the effect fades. There is no healing time involved, but at first drinking or whistling may feel a little different.
A lip filler treatment is performed with hyaluronic acid fillers. The filler is injected into the lips using a thin needle to add volume and definition. It gives fuller lips with more structure, contour and hydration. The effect of a lip filler lasts an average of 9 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler and individual factors, such as metabolism. After treatment, slight swelling or bruising may be possible, which often disappear on their own after a few days.
So if you're looking for a subtle elevator without volume, the lip flip is an ideal treatment. Do you want fuller lips with more definition, contour and hydration? Then the lip filler treatment is most suitable for you. Sometimes a combination of both treatments is also used for the best results.
Treatment begins with a consultation with a cosmetic doctor, where your specific situation is assessed and discussed. The doctor will look at the shape and movement of your lips and determine if lip-flip is the right treatment for you.
The procedure itself is quick and simple. The doctor injects a small amount of botox into the muscles around the upper lip, also called the orbicularis oris muscle. This process usually takes only a few minutes. Results can be seen after just a few days, but optimal results are usually seen after two weeks. It is a virtually painless procedure thanks to the thin needles used and the precision of the doctor.
Despite a bruise after any kind of injection is possible, it is hardly ever seen after lip-flip treatment. You can even resume your daily activities within an hour after the treatment. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to heat for the first 24 hours after treatment to ensure the best results.
A lip-flip is a safe, natural and subtle method of subtly lifting the upper lip. In this process, the lip no longer curls inward while talking or laughing, giving a fuller appearance. Book your appointment now and one of our cosmetic doctors will be happy to help you.
