What is Lip Flip?

The Lip Flip technique involves using Botox in the orbicularis oris muscle. This procedure causes the muscle to relax, leading to a slight lifting of the upper lip and its flipping outward. The lips gain a fuller appearance without the need for additional fillers. The effect is subtle and natural, giving the face a younger look. The entire process is short and minimally invasive, making Lip Flip an ideal treatment for individuals looking for visible results in a short period of time.

Lip Flip is a great option for those who desire subtle lip enhancement without the use of fillers. The use of Botox provides a gentle effect without impacting the natural facial expressions, which is important for many people. Just after a few days, the lips appear fuller and younger, and after 2 weeks, you can enjoy long-lasting results.

This procedure has minimal risks and a short recovery time, making it ideal for those who appreciate quick and minimally invasive methods of improving the appearance of their lips. Thanks to this, Lip Flip is gaining popularity among those seeking a discreet way to accentuate their lip color and give their lips a sensual look.

The Lip Flip procedure is an ideal solution for individuals with narrow lips, especially the upper lip. It allows to enhance them while maintaining a natural look. The procedure is also effective for those who notice initial signs of aging around the lips, such as thinner lips or blurred contours. Lip Flip helps achieve fuller lips without altering the natural shape of one's lips. After the procedure, the lips appear more sensual, and the wrinkles around them are smoothed out.

The Lip Flip procedure is a quick and minimally invasive treatment, usually taking just a few minutes. It involves precisely injecting Botox using thin needles around the lips, causing the upper lip to subtly flip outwards. This results in the lips gaining volume and becoming more attractive without the need for fillers. The procedure has several advantages: - There is no need for anesthesia, although a numbing cream can be applied for individuals more sensitive to pain. - Patients can quickly return to their daily activities after the procedure. - Swelling and mild redness of the lips fade quickly.

The effects of the Lip Flip procedure can be noticed after a few days, allowing you to quickly enjoy the change in the appearance of your lips. Full results are achieved after about 2 weeks. The lips gain firmness and volume, and the lip contour becomes more defined, adding charm to the face. The effect lasts from 4 to 6 months. The absence of lumps at the application site makes the procedure safe and comfortable for individuals seeking subtle improvement in lip aesthetics. It is the perfect option for those who prefer to avoid invasive methods and long recovery periods, and also do not want to drastically change their appearance.

The price of Lip Flip procedure varies depending on the amount of product used, the clinic, or the experience of the performing doctor. All costs are provided during the initial consultation, so they are not a surprise to the patient. Considering that Lip Flip is done every few months, its price does not exceed the prices of other methods for improving the appearance of the lips.

Contraindications to the Lip Flip procedure relate to several important health issues. This procedure should not be performed on:

• pregnant and breastfeeding women,
• individuals with blood clotting disorders,
• those taking certain medications,
• patients with neuromuscular conduction disorders.

• Avoid touching and massaging the lips,
• Limit facial expressions for the first 24 hours.
