Thanks to superstars like Kylie Jenner, many people want a plumper lip. However, the popularized pouty style may seem out of reach without a typical dermal filler. Traditionally, lip fillers have been used to obtain a bigger pair of lips, but there is an alternative. The Botox lip flip is a procedure that involves injecting Botox into the lips. Lip fillers may be a little too frightening if you're searching for something more natural-appearing. You might not want to commit to the results for as long as fillers last, in case it ends up seeming like too much lip. This is where Botox lip flips come in handy. It's a more subtle lip enhancement that works with the natural curve of the top lip to give the appearance of a more prominent lip.

What Is a Botox Lip Flip?

Botox lip flips are a non-surgical dermal lip filler option that lifts or modestly flips the lip. Botox is injected into the center and corners of your top lip in a few selected locations. This relaxes the muscles and allows for the trademark flip, which means that more of the upper lip is exposed when it rolls upward slightly.

How Does a Botox Lip Flip Improve the Appearance of Your Lips?

Unlike a dermal filler, a Botox lip flip does not give as much noticeable volume to your lips for that plumped-up pout. The result is more subtle because it works with the natural curve of your lips. Because the Botox injected into your lip enhances your natural pout, it may not be apparent to others that you've had any work done. They might just notice you're a little more youthful-looking than usual, which is a plus for many admirers of the treatment.

How Long Does a Botox Lip Filler Last?

A Botox lip flip isn't a long-term solution. Your results will last up to three months, much like with regular Botox, with some patients having a touchup around the two-month mark. Because you utilize your lips more throughout the day, the results will likely not last as long as other areas of the face. Any action, such as talking, smiling, eating, or drinking, engages the lip muscles that your Botox treatment just relaxed.

What Are the Benefits of a Botox Lip Flip?

• It is less costly than fillers. Even if you have the operation more frequently, injecting a few units of Botox into your lip will be more cost-effective than typical fillers if you're looking for that subtle something.
• It's more organic. The lip flip isn't for individuals looking for a significant transformation; instead, it's a more natural finish that complements your natural lip shape. It may also aid in the reduction of wrinkles around the mouth. If you want a quick refresh with a more subtle impact, the lip flip is the way to go.
• The operation is quick and straightforward. Most Botox lip flips take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and you'll be ready to leave right away.
• There's minimal downtime. After your procedure, you may suffer some soreness or swelling, but you'll be able to resume your normal activities immediately after leaving the doctor's office.
• Over time, the results improve. You'll experience full benefits from your Botox lip flip in approximately a week, with initial results in a few days, just like with Botox.
