What To Know About The Lip Flip Procedure
If you’re looking for a subtle way to enhance your smile, the lip flip procedure might be exactly what you need. It’s a quick, low-commitment treatment that can create the appearance of fuller lips. While it can be done on its own, it can also be combined with lip filler for more customized results.
How Does The Lip Flip Procedure Work?
During a lip flip, a small amount of a neuromodulator like Botox is placed into the muscles around the upper lip. This relaxes the muscle just enough to “flip” the lip outward. The result is that more of your natural lip becomes visible, giving you a softer, fuller look without actually increasing lip size.
The lip flip procedure is especially popular for people who feel like their upper lip disappears when they smile. By relaxing the muscle that pulls the lip inward, your smile can appear more balanced and defined. It can also help reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by limiting how much the upper lip lifts.
Can You Combine It With Lip Filler?
Yes, and many people do. The lip flip procedure can be paired with injectable fillers to enhance both shape and volume. By relaxing the upper lip, the lip flip can help you get a fuller appearance with less filler overall. This combination approach allows for a more balanced, natural-looking result. Some people choose to start with a lip flip alone, while others opt for both treatments at the same time depending on their goals.
A Quick Session Gives You Fast Results
One of the biggest benefits of this treatment is how quick and simple it is. The appointment usually takes less than 15 minutes, and there is little to no downtime. Most people can go right back to their normal routine afterward. You may notice results starting within a few days, with full results appearing around one to two weeks after treatment.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results typically last about 6 to 8 weeks, which is shorter than traditional Botox treatments. This makes it a good option if you are trying it for the first time or want a temporary enhancement. Lip filler, when combined, will last longer and can help maintain your overall look.
