Lip Flip Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that enhances the appearance of the upper lip by gently relaxing the muscles around the mouth. This technique creates a subtle outward “flip” of the lip, improving lip shape and definition without adding volume.

What Is Lip Flip Botox?

Lip Flip Botox involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the muscles above the upper lip, specifically the orbicularis oris muscle. By relaxing this muscle, the upper lip rolls slightly outward, making it appear fuller and more defined without the use of dermal fillers.

Benefits of Lip Flip Botox

Lip Flip Botox may offer several aesthetic benefits, including:

• Enhanced upper lip definition
• Subtle appearance of fuller lips
• Improved lip shape without added volume
• Reduced gummy smile appearance
• Non-surgical with minimal downtime

Who Is Lip Flip Botox Suitable For?

Lip Flip Botox may be suitable for individuals who:

• Want subtle lip enhancement without fillers
• Feel their upper lip disappears when smiling
• Have a mild gummy smile
• Prefer natural-looking results

This treatment is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

Common Treatment Areas for Lip Flip Botox

Lip Flip Botox is typically focused on:

• Upper lip border
• Cupid’s bow area

The treatment does not add volume to the lips and is different from lip filler procedures.

How Lip Flip Botox Treatment Works

The treatment process typically includes:

1. Assessment of lip movement and smile dynamics
2. Cleansing of the treatment area
3. Precise micro-injections above the upper lip
4. Immediate return to normal activities

⏱ Typical session: 10–15 minutes
🩹 Downtime: Minimal

When to Expect Results

Initial effects usually begin within 3 to 5 days, with optimal results visible within 7 to 10 days. The lip appears more relaxed and subtly everted when smiling.

How Long Lip Flip Botox Results Last

Results typically last 2 to 3 months, as the muscles around the mouth are highly active. Maintenance treatments may be required more frequently compared to other Botox procedures.

Lip Flip Botox vs Lip Fillers

Lip Flip Botox and lip fillers serve different purposes:

• Lip Flip Botox enhances lip shape and visibility without adding volume
• Lip Fillers increase lip volume and fullness using dermal fillers

Some individuals may choose a combination approach depending on aesthetic goals.

Lip Flip Botox Aftercare Guidelines

After treatment, general recommendations include:

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Avoid massaging or pressing the lip area for 24 hours
• Avoid excessive lip movement for the first day
• Stay upright for at least 4 hours post-treatment
