Lip Flip

When it comes to lip augmentation, lip fillers have been a popular choice for many people for years. However, in recent times, a new procedure has been making waves in the world of cosmetic treatments. This procedure is called the “lip flip,” a non-invasive alternative to lip filler.

What is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin also known as botox into the muscles around the lips. This injection helps to relax the muscles, which causes the top lip to roll slightly upward, creating the illusion of fuller lips. The effects of a lip flip are subtle and natural-looking, and they can be customized to suit the individual’s desired outcome. The procedure is quick and relatively painless, and the effects can last for up to three months.

What is the Difference Between a Lip Flip and Lip Fillers?

While both lip flips and lip fillers are used to enhance the appearance of the lips, they work in different ways. Lip fillers involve injecting a substance such as hyaluronic acid into the lips to add volume and definition. Lip flips, on the other hand, do not add volume to the lips. Instead, they work by changing the shape of the lips slightly to create the illusion of fuller lips.

Who Needs a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is an excellent option for individuals who have thin or asymmetrical lips and want a more natural-looking solution than traditional lip fillers. It’s also a great option for those who are hesitant to undergo more invasive procedures.

Why is a Lip Flip Done?

A lip flip is done for various reasons. Some people want to enhance the appearance of their lips without adding too much volume, while others want to achieve a more natural-looking result. Additionally, a lip flip can help balance out asymmetrical lips, and it can also help reduce the appearance of a “gummy smile.”

How is the Treatment Administered?

The lip flip procedure is quick and straightforward. A trained Pharmacist Independent Prescriber will clean the area around the lips and then administer the botulinum toxin injection into the muscles around the lips. The entire procedure takes around 10 to 15 minutes, and there is little to no downtime afterwards.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Like any cosmetic treatment, a lip flip has potential side effects. However, they are typically minor and short-lived. The most common side effects include redness, swelling, and bruising around the injection site. In rare cases, some individuals may experience drooping of the lip or difficulty speaking or drinking.

What are the Advantages?

There are several advantages to a lip flip. Firstly, it is a non-invasive procedure, meaning there is little to no downtime. Additionally, the results are subtle and natural-looking, making it an excellent option for those who want to enhance their lips without drawing too much attention to them. Lastly, a lip flip is generally less expensive than traditional lip fillers.

When Can I Eat or Drink After Getting a Lip Flip?

It is generally recommended that you avoid eating or drinking for at least one hour after getting a lip flip. This will give the injection time to settle and reduce the risk of any complications. Additionally, it is recommended that you avoid rubbing or massaging the area around your lips for the first 24 hours after the procedure to prevent the botulinum toxin from spreading.
