A lip flip, achieved through a small amount of neurotoxin injected into the orbicularis oris muscle, relaxes the upper lip, allowing it to subtly “flip” outward, creating the illusion of increased fullness. The effects are typically visible within a few days, with full results manifesting in one to two weeks. This technique provides a less invasive alternative to lip fillers, offering a temporary enhancement with minimal downtime.
This relatively quick onset of visible changes makes the procedure attractive to individuals seeking a relatively fast, non-surgical lip enhancement. The non-permanent nature of the treatment also offers patients flexibility and control over their aesthetic choices. The popularity of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures has grown considerably in recent years, with procedures like the lip flip offering a convenient and accessible way to explore subtle enhancements.
