A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that uses botulinum neurotoxin type A, such as Botox, to modify the shape of the lips and make them appear fuller. The procedure is non-surgical and is performed by injecting the neurotoxin along the vermilion border of the lips, which leads to a relaxation of the underlying muscle and eversion of the lip. In some cases, hyaluronic acid fillers may be added to increase volume in the lips.
Here are some key points about lip flips:
- Lip flips are different from lip fillers, which are injections directly into the lip. Lip flips can provide a more natural look than fillers.
- The primary agents used during the lip flip procedure include botulinum neurotoxin type A and hyaluronic acid fillers.
- The procedure is typically performed to increase the size of the lips and provide an aesthetic, symmetric, and healthy appearance for the patient.
- Lip flips are a low-stakes option for those who want to experiment with lip enhancement without committing to more permanent procedures.
- The results of a lip flip are subtle, with the upper lip appearing slightly larger and more defined in shape.
- The procedure is performed by a professional, highly credible cosmetic surgeon to ensure a successful and safe outcome.
