What Is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is performed to help give the lips a more sensual and appealing look. BOTOX, a neuromodulator, is injected into the outside of the lips, which temporarily incapacitates the tiny muscles – particularly the orbicularis oris muscle – that keep the lips taut. Once these muscles are relaxed, the upper and lower lips curl outwards, plumping and volumizing the smile without fillers. With BOTOX, there is no downtime or discomfort to contend with. Patients can return straight away to their normal activities.
Most clients notice improvement in their pout within a few days and their final outcome within one week. BOTOX results last around 3-4 months on average. While a lip flip is a fairly simple, straightforward procedure, it’s still essential that your treatment is overseen by a board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Fechner in Boston and Worcester. This ensures your utmost safety at all points during your cosmetic journey, as well as an outcome that is natural-looking, elegant, and personalized to you.
