Botulinum toxin 'lip flip'
A 'lip flip' with botulinum toxin is a popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure aimed at subtly enhancing the upper lip and creating a fuller appearance, without the need for fillers. This technique is increasingly appreciated for its ability to improve lip contours and promote a youthful, natural smile.
During a lip flip with botulinum toxin, small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the muscles around the upper lip. The goal is to relax the muscles that normally pull the upper lip inward, causing the upper lip to curl slightly upwards and revealing more of the pink lip tissue. This gives the lips a fuller look and provides a more youthful and inviting appearance.
One of the benefits of a lip flip with botulinum toxin is that it is a quick and relatively painless procedure that can usually be completed within a few minutes. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment, with no recovery time needed.
