Lip Flip with Botox

Many women are looking for more voluptuous lips, but fillers are not your only option. To give your top lip a fuller appearance, our team at Lewisburg Plastic Surgery & Dermatology can perform a lip flip.

A lip flip is performed using Botox. The injectable works on more than just wrinkles. By injecting it into the lip muscle, it relaxes the muscle, which allows your top lip to lift upward, creating the appearance of a fuller upper lip without using lip fillers. The non-surgical treatment is virtually painless and only takes a few minutes.

Lip Flip Process

The lip flip process is very straightforward and is done by our Registered Nurse Injector, Katie Winner. She’ll start by cleaning the treatment area. From there, she’ll inject 4-6 units of Botox into the lip muscle. You may feel a slight stinging sensation, but most patients tolerate it very well. Once the injections are done, you can go back to work or home immediately.

After Your Lip Flip

After your lip flip treatment, avoid any strenuous exercise, alcohol, and blood thinners. You’ll also want to refrain from putting any pressure on the treatment area. You may see some swelling, bruising, or tenderness, but it will be very mild and dissipate after 24- 48 hours.

Initial results typically appear within a few days, with full results showing up in 1-2 weeks as the Botox goes into full effect.
