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

How it works
A small amount of Botox is placed along the border of the upper lip. As the muscle relaxes, more of the lip shows, especially when you smile.

Treatment takes about 10 minutes. There's no downtime, though you should avoid rubbing the area for the rest of the day.

The effect appears over several days, with full results in about two weeks. Individual results vary.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a lip flip last?
Most lip flips last about two to three months, since the lip muscle moves constantly.
When will I see results?
Results start to show within a few days, with the full effect at about two weeks.
Lip flip or lip filler?
A lip flip gives a subtle fuller look without adding volume. Lip filler adds real volume and shape. Some people combine both.
Will it affect how I talk or drink?
Only a small amount is used, but some people notice it's slightly harder to use a straw or pronounce certain sounds for the first few days.
