A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a small amount of TOX into the upper lip muscle known as the orbicularis oris. This treatment causes the muscle to relax, which results in a subtle lifting of the upper lip and a more pronounced vermillion border (the line between the lip and skin).
The effect is similar to that of a lip lift surgery, but without the need for incisions or anesthesia. The procedure can be completed in just a few minutes, and the results typically last for 3-4 months.
The lip flip is often used as a complementary treatment to lip filler injections, as it can help to enhance the appearance of the lips and create a more defined cupid's bow. However, it can also be done on its own for those who want a slight improvement in the shape and fullness of their lips without the use of fillers.
Dysport is a local muscle relaxant (or neuromuscular blocking agent) adapted from the botulinum neuromodulator type-A and is used in aesthetic indications.
Xeomin® is made through a unique precision manufacturing process called XTRACT Technology™, that uses two filtration steps to isolate the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the complexing/unnecessary proteins that don’t play an active role in treatment. Xeomin® is a double filtered neurotoxin.
It generally takes 7 to 14 days to take full effect. It’s best to avoid alcohol starting at least 1 week before the procedure. You should also stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications 2 weeks before treatment to help prevent bruising.
Most neuromodulators are delivered by our Naked Needle process. Patients report substantially less pain than a standard needle.
Avoid rubbing the injection site for 24 hours so you don’t spread the TOX to another area.
