Lip Flip Specialist in Avon, CT

Lip flips are an aesthetic treatment that is rising in popularity. This is because they can reduce the appearance of a gummy smile and improve clients’ overall confidence in their smiles. Lip flips are achieved by the use of botox, specifically injections of botox placed into the muscle of the cupid bow, which relaxes the area and stops the muscles from pulling the lip up as high or from causing the lip to curl in and expose the gum line. This also creates the appearance of a fuller lip, as the muscles are not pulling the lip inward and upward but allow it to stay more outward. Many who have lip flips done will also have them done in conjunction with fillers, but this is greatly dependent on the appearance outcome a client is looking for, as there is a high likelihood that you can achieve the appearance you are hoping for with only the use of the lip flip technique.

Before your Lip Flip injections, you will have a consultation with the medical injector who will be doing your procedure, and they will go over the details of what you are hoping to achieve and review the anatomy of your smile. Not all clients will have the correct anatomy for a lip flip, and this is why consultations are important, as there may be other methods the injector can recommend to achieve similar results or the same outcome you are looking for.

Lip filler is the process of injecting material (most commonly hyaluronic acid) into the lips to achieve a fuller appearance and create a plumping effect on the area. Lip flips involve the use of Botox that is strategically injected into the muscles behind the lips to create the effect of a fuller lip, and stop the lip from pulling upward and exposing the gum line around the teeth. Clients who have lip flips done will also notice that it does not change the appearance of the lips in the extreme manner that lip filler does, as it maintains the lips’ natural shape but still improves the appearance by creating a fuller look by not allowing the same type of movements that happened before the injections. Lip filler creates a much more dramatic result and can be used to change the shape of the lips, which may be what some clients are looking to achieve.

Lip flips are a great option for those who are uncomfortable with their smile if it exposes the gum line, and also want to achieve a fuller lip appearance without the use of dermal fillers. Not all clients will have the correct anatomy to have a lip flip done, and if this is the case, then the medical professional doing the injections may be able to recommend alternative methods to achieve the desired outcome.

Lip flips are done to improve the smile of clients who feel their upper lip disappears when they smile or that their gums are too exposed when they smile. Lip flips can also be done for clients who want to have a fuller appearance of their lips but do not want to have to use dermal fillers to achieve this. Because lip flips use Botox, the results are minimally invasive compared to surgical interventions and are a great option for those who are willing to undergo regular maintenance to see the desired results of their lip flip. It is also a great option for those who are concerned about the outcome of having the procedure done and are comfortable with the fact that the results will naturally dissipate if they do not like the change in their appearance after receiving a lip flip.
