A "lip flip" is a cosmetic procedure that is used to enhance the appearance of the lips. It involves the injection of a neurotoxin, such as Botox, into the upper lip muscles. The purpose of this procedure is to relax the muscles around the upper lip, which can cause the lip to roll slightly upward. As a result, the upper lip appears slightly fuller and more defined without adding volume to the lip itself.
As we age our top lip can become thinner or based on our lip anatomy some patients have naturally thinner upper lips. The lip flip is often sought by individuals who desire a subtle improvement in the shape and appearance of their lips without committing to more significant lip filler procedures, such as lip fillers. It can be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments or on its own.
Often patients will complain that their top lip disappears when they smile, the lip flip can be used to show more lip or in combination with lip filler. The results of the lip flip take 2 weeks to show and last between 3-4 months. Pain is minimal with this lip procedure.
