A Botox lip flip uses a few units of neurotoxin to relax the muscle above your upper lip, letting it roll gently outward for a fuller look without filler. At Cosmetica Med Spa in Boca Raton, it's a quick treatment with no downtime.
Who a lip flip is for
- Anyone wanting a subtle, fuller-looking upper lip
- People whose upper lip disappears when they smile
- First-timers who aren't ready for filler
- Softening a gummy smile
How it works
A small amount of Botox, usually 4 to 6 units, is placed along the border of the upper lip. As the muscle relaxes, more of the lip shows, especially when you smile.
What to expect at your appointment
Treatment takes about 10 minutes. There's no downtime, though you should avoid rubbing the area for the rest of the day.
Results
The effect appears over several days, with full results in about two weeks, and usually lasts two to three months. Individual results vary.
