Lip flip
A lip flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure where a small amount of Botox is injected into the upper lip muscles. This treatment helps relax the muscles, allowing the upper lip to roll slightly upward, creating the appearance of fuller, more lifted lips. It’s a subtle and temporary way to enhance the look of the lips without the use of dermal fillers.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Botox lip flip is a cosmetic procedure where small amounts of Botox are injected into the orbicularis oris muscle around the upper lip. Botox relaxes the lip muscle, which allows the upper lip to curl outward, giving the illusion of a fuller, more defined lip without adding volume.
Ideal candidates for a lip flip are those looking to enhance the upper lip’s appearance by creating a subtle pout or to correct a gummy smile. It’s beneficial for individuals who desire a less invasive procedure than fillers, seeking natural-looking results. A consultation with a qualified provider is necessary to determine if Botox is the right option.
The discomfort associated with a Botox lip flip is minimal and brief, often described as a quick, sharp pinch. Dr Kotryna will apply a numbing cream to the area to minimize any pain during the injections.
Common side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. There is a possibility of asymmetry or difficulty enunciating certain sounds if the Botox affects adjacent muscle areas. These side effects typically fade within a few days to a week.
Results from a Botox lip flip can be noticed within several days, with full effects appearing about 7 to 14 days after the treatment. The effects of a lip flip usually last between 2 to 4 months, at which point the procedure needs to be repeated to maintain the outcome.
