Botox Lip Flip

The lips are one of the most noticeable and memorable features on your face. For centuries, poets and artists have focused a lot of attention on describing and painting them, so we understand the desire to have beautiful lips.

At The Rejuva Center at Williams in Albany, New York, we offer state-of-the-art, non-surgical treatments to address a variety of cosmetic concerns. If you’re looking for fuller, shapelier lips or you want to reduce the amount of visible gum when you smile, a lip flip might be the ideal cosmetic procedure for you. We are the go-to practice for patients from Albany, Saratoga, Clifton Park, Latham, Troy, and Schenectady, New York when it comes to lip flip and Botox injections.

Pre and Post Instructions

What Is a Lip Flip & How Does It Work?

A lip flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can be performed at The Rejuva Center in 30 minutes or less. Unlike fillers that are injected directly into your lips, a lip flip involves injecting Botox® — a well-known brand of botulinum toxin — into the muscles near your lips. Specific areas for lip flip Botox® injections include the corners of your mouth and above your upper lip near the Cupid’s bow. This is the V-shaped area at the center of your upper lip.

If you’re hoping to treat a smile that shows too much gum, you may also need injections in the muscles along each side of your nose that extend to your upper lip. The amount of Botox® used depends on how much of your gum is visible when you smile.

When injected, Botox® prevents your nerves from sending certain signals to the muscle, causing it to relax. For a lip flip, Botox® relaxes the muscle inside your upper lip. When this muscle relaxes, the upper lip flips up slightly and curls outward along your lip line to create a fuller, shapelier appearance. If you have vertical lines above your upper lip, a lip flip can help treat those as well.

Why Should I Choose Lip Flip Treatment?

Choosing to have a cosmetic procedure is a personal decision, but anything that makes you feel more attractive can be confidence-boosting. You may want to consider lip flip treatment if:

  • Your upper lip gets very thin when you smile.
  • You want your smile to show less of your gum.
  • You want to have fuller-looking lips without the use of fillers.
  • You want your lips to have a poutier look.
  • You prefer a temporary solution for your first cosmetic treatment.

In addition to being quick and virtually painless, lip flip injections of Botox® are less expensive than lip fillers and offer a more subtle change that usually lasts for about two months. If this is your first non-surgical cosmetic treatment, you can take comfort in knowing that our specialists at The Rejuva Center are highly trained and experienced.

What Can I Expect from Lip Flip Treatment?

Before you schedule a lip flip treatment, you will consult with one of our specialists in person to determine if this procedure is right for you. During your consultation, you will learn about the details of the procedure and what to expect in terms of results. Some of the topics that will be discussed include:

  • Requirements to be a suitable candidate for a lip flip
  • Ability of lip flip treatment to meet your needs for achieving the look you want in comparison to additional or alternative procedures
  • Steps to prepare for lip flip treatment
  • Guidelines for post-procedure care

If you choose to proceed with lip flip treatment, we will take your photo and schedule your appointment. During your procedure, the doctor will inject Botox® into the appropriate areas to achieve your desired results. If you decide to augment your lips further with lip filler that will occur at this time. A lip flip combined with fillers is a popular option for patients who want more dramatic and longer-lasting results.

After your Botox® lip flip, you may experience some minor side effects like pain, numbness, redness, or swelling at the injection sites. These side effects are mild and resolve quickly. You can resume most of your normal daily activities right away. Expect to begin seeing results in two to three days, but it usually takes about 10 days to see the full results of treatment.

No matter which of our cosmetic treatments you choose, you can always expect efficient and courteous service and excellent follow-up care in a private and secure setting at The Rejuva Center. Our quality of care has made us the go-to practice for non-surgical cosmetic treatments in Albany as well as neighboring communities like Clifton Park, Latham, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Troy.
