What is a lip flip?
A lip flip is a cosmetic treatment that adjusts the shape of the lips using Botulinum toxin. The procedure is designed to make the upper lip appear fuller by relaxing the muscles that cause the lip to curl inwards.
The unique benefits of a lip flip treatment
- Natural lip enhancement: In contrast to fillers, which literally add volume, lip flip offers a subtle lift and curl. Perfect for those who want to enhance their natural appearance or perfect the shape of their already full lips.
- Quick and simple treatment: This procedure is surprisingly quick and straightforward, taking only 10 to 15 minutes.
- Minimal recovery period: After the treatment, there is hardly any downtime. Any slight redness or swelling usually disappears within a few days.
- Temporary results: The effects of a lip flip are temporary, with a duration of approximately 6 months, after which the muscles recover and the lip returns to its original state.
How the lip flip treatment works
During the lip flip procedure, a small amount of Botulinum toxin is carefully injected into the muscle just above the upper lip. These injections are practically painless, partly thanks to the use of a numbing cream that maximises comfort.
Is a lip flip for you?
The lip flip is particularly suitable for people who:
- Notice that their lips are becoming thinner over time.
- Have a smile where the upper lip curls inwards undesirably.
- Want to refine the shape of their upper lip.
- Strive for a subtle improvement of their lips, without the use of fillers.
When is a lip flip not recommended?
The lip flip is not recommended for individuals who:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Are allergic to Botulinum toxin.
- Suffer from muscle weakness in the face.
- Have unrealistic expectations of the treatment.
