Lip Flip Treatment in NYC

BOTOX® is widely regarded as the gold-standard treatment for anti-aging, but BOTOX® can do more than just reduce wrinkles! When used in a lip flip treatment, BOTOX® can reduce the appearance of a gummy smile and enhance the lips to give a fuller look to the upper lip.

Benefits of Lip Flip

If you are seeking a non-surgical way to improve your smile, a Lip Flip with BOTOX® offers many benefits:

  • Minimally invasive
  • Quick, in-office procedure
  • Little to no downtime needed
  • Makes the upper lip look fuller
  • Smooths away fine lines around the upper lip
  • Reduces gum show when smiling
  • Gives natural looking results

Lip Fillers Vs. Lip Flip for Non-surgical Lip Enhancement

Many patients ask us how a BOTOX® lip flip compares to lip augmentation with injectable dermal fillers. The answer is that these are both great options for patients who would like to enhance the appearance of their lips, and your needs and goals will determine which one is best for you. Lip flip provides natural-looking results and is ideal for patients who are concerned with a very thin upper lip or a gummy smile. Lip fillers can be used to add volume to the top or bottom lips and can be customized to give a dramatic look if desired.

How Lip Flip Works

BOTOX® is a neuromodulator that works to relax muscles. When injected into the orbicularis oris muscle, it relaxes the muscles around the upper lip so that the lip appears fuller without actually adding volume. It also reduces wrinkles and improves the appearance of a gummy smile because there is less tension in the lip when you smile.

Your NYC Lip Flip Treatment

Preparing for a Lip Flip Treatment

Minimal prep is needed for this quick, non-surgical treatment. You may be advised to avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications in the days leading up to your treatment in order to minimize any swelling or bruising.

What to Expect During Your Lip Flip

Your lips will be cleansed and then BOTOX® will be carefully injected along the upper lip. The entire treatment takes just a few minutes.

Recovery after Lip Flip Treatment

You may experience mild swelling or redness, which can be eased with an ice pack. You can resume regular activities right after your treatment, but you should avoid very strenuous activity for a few hours.
