A Botox lip flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses small amounts of botulinum toxin to relax the orbicularis oris muscle around your upper lip. By strategically relaxing these muscle fibers, the lip gently rolls outward and upward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined shape without adding artificial volume or plumping agents.

This treatment is distinct from dermal fillers in several ways:

• Mechanism: While fillers add volume directly into the lip tissue using hyaluronic acid, a lip flip simply alters the way the muscle holds your lip to reveal more of the natural pink tissue.
• Subtlety: It is an ideal choice if you are looking for a natural enhancement rather than a dramatic increase in size.
• Gummy Smile Correction: The same muscle-relaxing technique can be used to treat a gummy smile by reducing how much gum tissue shows when you laugh or smile.
• Timeline: The procedure is very quick, typically taking only 10 to 15 minutes. You will start to see the lip roll outward within 2 to 5 days, with full results visible by day 7.

Results generally last between 3 to 4 months. Because the effect is temporary, we recommend scheduling regular maintenance sessions to sustain your refreshed look. At our office, we often coordinate these enhancements with cosmetic dentistry, such as porcelain veneers, to ensure your smile is perfectly framed and balanced.

Results may vary based on individual patient conditions. This information is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional dental advice. Please consult a dentist or qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
