Options & Innovation
Care Details
A lip flip is a quick and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your upper lip without adding volume through fillers. This treatment uses a small amount of botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox or Dysport) to relax the muscles around the upper lip, allowing it to "flip" outward slightly, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip. The lip flip is an excellent option for those looking for a subtle enhancement without the need for dermal fillers. How It Works: During the lip flip procedure, Botox or Dysport is strategically injected into the muscles just above the upper lip. By relaxing these muscles, the upper lip gently rolls outward, making more of the pink surface of the lip visible. This results in a fuller-looking lip and a more pronounced cupid’s bow. The procedure is quick, typically taking only 10 to 15 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Results and Recovery: The effects of a lip flip gradually appear over the course of a few days, with full results visible within about one to two weeks. The treatment gives a subtle enhancement to the upper lip, making it look fuller and more lifted. Results typically last for 12 to 16 weeks, after which touch-up treatments can be scheduled to maintain the look. Since the lip flip uses Botox or Dysport, the results are temporary, offering you the flexibility to try out the look without long-term commitment. Is a Lip Flip Right for You? A lip flip is ideal for those looking for a slight enhancement of their upper lip without adding volume. It’s a great choice for individuals who want to improve the shape of their lips, reduce a “gummy” smile, or achieve a fuller appearance without fillers. Your provider at Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa will evaluate your goals and help you determine if the lip flip is the best option for you. If you’re looking for a subtle, natural-looking enhancement for your lips, schedule a consultation with Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa today to explore how a lip flip can help you achieve your desired look.
