What Are the Benefits of a Lip Flip Treatment?

A lip flip is a technique that can subtly enhance the volume and lift of your upper lip, contributing to a more attractive and noticeable smile. The procedure involves injecting neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport into specific muscles around your mouth, particularly the orbicularis oris muscle which controls the movement of your mouth and lips.

A lip flip at True Medical Aesthetics offers numerous benefits:

• Subtle Lip Volume: Enhancing fullness of the upper lip for a more balanced and defined smile.
• Improved Lip Shape: Lifting and curving the upper lip for a more attractive appearance.
• Reduced Fine Lines: Smoothing out vertical lines around the mouth for the illusion of smoother skin texture.
• Enhanced Smile Profile: Creating a broader, more symmetrical smile by balancing out an overly gummy smile.
• Non-Invasive and Temporary: This procedure requires no incisions or sutures, takes only about 10 to 20 minutes, and lasts for approximately 2-4 months.

The lip flip procedure is suitable for those who wish to add subtle fullness to their upper lip, correct a gummy smile, enhance the overall appearance of their smile, or improve the symmetry of their lips.

Like all procedures, the lip flip comes with potential risks and side effects, including bruising, swelling, and asymmetry. Our team of qualified and experienced practitioners will consult with you to ensure that a lip flip is the right procedure for you, and to help you achieve your desired results.

A lip flip at True Medical Aesthetics is a less invasive procedure compared to lip fillers, providing our skilled practitioners with more precise control over the shape and lift of your lips. In contrast to lip fillers, which involve injecting a substance into the lips to augment their size, our lip flip treatment involves a simple injection of Botox or Dysport above the upper lip. Our practitioners can selectively inject the neuromodulator into the orbicularis oris muscle, precisely tailoring the result to enhance your lips’ natural contours. This results in a subtle, natural-looking enhancement rather than an overly volumized or artificial appearance.

One of the advantages of getting a lip flip is its cost-effectiveness. As this treatment requires less product, it offers an affordable alternative for those wishing to enhance their lips without significant expense. In comparison, lip fillers can be more costly due to the amount of filler needed to achieve the desired result.

The lip flip treatment at True Medical Aesthetics also boasts a quick recovery time. The procedure typically takes less than 15 minutes, and our patients can usually return to their everyday activities immediately afterward. In contrast, lip fillers might cause swelling or bruising that can take a few days to subside.

The effects of a lip flip at our practice are temporary, generally lasting around two to four months. This temporary effect allows our patients to experiment with a different lip shape without a long-term commitment or fear of permanent changes. If you love the results, you can repeat the procedure to maintain the look. Conversely, lip fillers, while not permanent, generally last longer – anywhere from six months to a year – necessitating a longer commitment to the look.

Our team of skilled professionals use neurotoxins such as Botox or Dysport in this procedure, injecting a small amount into the muscle that controls the upper lip, the orbicularis oris. This allows for the upper lip to gently curl upwards, creating the illusion of fuller lips without the use of traditional lip fillers.

Our goal at True Medical Aesthetics is to provide natural-looking enhancements that complement your facial features. The lip flip is perfect for those looking for a younger, refreshed appearance without drastically changing their lips. The changes are subtle, yet effective in creating a soft, plump look without altering your lip’s original shape or size.

The effects of a lip flip are gradual, typically taking a few days to fully manifest, which allows you to adjust to your new appearance slowly. Our skilled practitioners can customize the procedure based on your desired outcome and facial anatomy, adjusting the amount of neurotoxin injected and the injection technique to achieve a softer or more pronounced lift.

One of the benefits of a lip flip is its temporariness. The effects generally last for 2-3 months, allowing you to experience the results without committing to a permanent alteration. This flexibility gives you the chance to experiment with different lip looks and decide if a more permanent solution is desired later on.

Like all of our treatments, the lip flip’s results are temporary as the effects of the injectable neurotoxin gradually diminish over time. As the neurotoxin wears off, the muscles around the lips gradually regain their ability to move freely, causing the lip flip’s effects to subside.

At True Medical Aesthetics, we understand that the longevity of a lip flip can be influenced by several individual factors, such as your age, metabolism, muscle strength, and lifestyle factors, including smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. The specific type of neurotoxin used also plays a role in the duration of the results.
