Centrally located to cater to New York City residents on the Upper East Side.

If you’re looking for a subtle, natural enhancement to your lips without adding volume through fillers or surgery, Botox Lip Flip may be the perfect solution. This minimally invasive procedure uses small amounts of Botox to relax the muscles around your upper lip, creating a gentle outward “flip” that makes your lips look fuller and more defined.

At Skinly Aesthetics, led by board-certified cosmetic physician Dr. Schwarzburg, we specialize in the Botox Lip Flip to help enhance your smile and lip contour without the need for dermal fillers or surgery. Whether you’re looking to smooth out a gummy smile or create a more prominent upper lip, the lip flip is a fast and effective treatment.

    What Is the Botox Lip Flip?

    The Botox Lip Flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses Botox injections to relax the muscles around the upper lip, specifically the orbicularis oris muscle. This subtle muscle relaxation causes the lip to flip outward, making the upper lip appear fuller and more defined without actually adding volume.

    Unlike dermal fillers, which increase lip volume, the lip flip creates a natural enhancement that enhances the shape and contour of your lips. It’s particularly effective for individuals who want a subtle enhancement or for those who feel their upper lip disappears when they smile.

    How Does the Botox Lip Flip Work?

    Botox is injected into precise points along the vermillion border of the upper lip. These injections relax the muscles that typically pull the upper lip inward, allowing the lip to flip outward slightly, creating a fuller appearance. This process:

    • Enhances the upper lip contour without adding volume.
    • Reduces the appearance of a gummy smile by lowering the upper lip to cover more gum.
    • Lifts the corners of the mouth, giving a subtle, refreshed look.

    The procedure typically takes 10-15 minutes, and results become noticeable within 3-5 days, with full results visible in two weeks. The effects of the Botox Lip Flip last approximately 2-3 months, after which a follow-up treatment is recommended to maintain results.

    Who Is a Good Candidate for the Botox Lip Flip?

    The Botox Lip Flip is ideal for individuals who:

    • Have thin upper lips and want a more defined shape without the added volume of fillers.
    • Feel that their upper lip disappears when they smile.
    • Are looking for a temporary, subtle enhancement without committing to dermal fillers.
    • Want to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by lowering the upper lip slightly over the gums.

    It’s also a great option for those seeking a low-maintenance, non-surgical alternative to lip augmentation.

    What to Expect During Your Botox Lip Flip Treatment

    1. Consultation: Dr. Schwarzburg will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine whether the Botox Lip Flip is the right treatment for you.
    2. Treatment: Botox is injected into specific points along the upper lip using ultra-fine needles. The procedure takes 10-15 minutes, and most patients report minimal discomfort.
    3. Post-Treatment: There is no downtime, and you can return to your daily activities immediately. You may experience minor swelling or bruising, but this typically resolves within a few days.

    Lip Flip vs. Lip Fillers: What’s the Difference?

    While both treatments aim to enhance the lips, there are key differences:

    • Botox Lip Flip: Enhances the upper lip by relaxing muscles and creating a subtle outward flip. This option is ideal for those seeking a natural, temporary enhancement without adding volume.
    • Lip Fillers: Use dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane to add volume and definition to the lips. This option provides a more dramatic enhancement and lasts longer (typically 6-12 months).

    Some patients may choose to combine both treatments for a more comprehensive lip enhancement that adds volume and enhances lip shape.

    Cost of a Botox Lip Flip

    The cost of a Botox Lip Flip at Skinly Aesthetics typically ranges from $250 to $500, depending on the number of units used and individual treatment needs. During your consultation, Dr. Schwarzburg will provide a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate based on your specific goals.

    FAQs About Botox Lip Flip

    How long does a Botox Lip Flip last?

    The results of a Botox Lip Flip typically last 3-4 months, after which a follow-up treatment is recommended to maintain the appearance of fuller lips.

    Is there any downtime after a Botox Lip Flip?

    No, there is no downtime after the procedure. You can resume your normal activities immediately, though you may experience minor swelling or bruising that subsides within a few days.

    Can a Botox Lip Flip be combined with other treatments?

    Yes! Many patients choose to combine the lip flip with lip fillers for more dramatic results or with other facial treatments for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

    How soon will I see results?

    You’ll start to notice results within 3-5 days, with full effects becoming visible after about two weeks.

    Is Botox Lip Flip painful?

    Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. The injections are quick, and the needles used are ultra-fine to ensure maximum comfort.
