What is a Lip Flip Treatment?
The Botox Lip Flip involves the precise placement of a small dose of Botox along the upper lip muscle, near to the lip border, to relax and 'flip' the lip to make more of the upper lip visible. This creates a fuller, plumper, but natural appearing upper lip.
This is a great treatment option to reveal more of the upper lip and reduce a gummy smile. It is a less invasive approach to creating the illusion of fuller lips without adding a ton of extra volume. Additional injections to relax the muscles which are responsible for raising the lips when smiling, creating that 'gummy smile' appearance, can also help create a fuller looking lip. It enables you to work with your existing lip volume before deciding if you would like to add extra volume.
Botox Lip Flip treatment is generally cheaper than lip filler treatment making it a cost effective approach to lip enhancement with minimal downtime too. Results can typically be seen within 5-7 days.

Lip Flip Treatment vs. Lip Fillers
Dermal fillers can be used in addition to Botox Lip Flip to add volume, definition and change the shape of the lip. Botox can then be used in addition to relax the lip muscle.
Overall the Botox Lip Flip treatment is a lovely subtle less invasive way to create the illusion of a fuller lip.
