Lip fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based injections, physically add volume to the lips. In contrast, a lip flip with Neurotoxins enhances lip appearance by relaxing muscles, subtly rolling the upper lip outward for a fuller look.

During a lip flip procedure, a small amount of Neurotoxins is injected into specific muscles around the upper lip. The injections are administered carefully to achieve the desired subtle enhancement.

Discomfort during a lip flip procedure is typically minimal and brief. Most patients describe it as a slight pinch or pressure at the injection sites. Topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand to enhance comfort.

The results of a lip flip with Neurotoxins usually last around 2 to 4 months. Over time, the effects gradually wear off, and repeat treatments can maintain the enhanced lip appearance.

Potential side effects of a lip flip with Neurotoxins are mild and temporary, including slight swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days.

Good candidates for a lip flip are individuals looking to enhance the shape and appearance of their lips subtly. They should have realistic expectations about the procedure and its outcomes.

Yes, a lip flip with Neurotoxins can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers or skin treatments to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

• 5 DAYS BEFORE treatment, avoid blood thinners like Advil, aspirin, Aleve and fish oils. Any blood thinning medication can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after your treatment. If you need to take an over-the-counter pain reliever, Tylenol is ok.
• Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours before (or after) your treatment to avoid extra bruising
• Inform your provider if you have a history of perioral herpes to receive advice on antiviral therapy prior to treatment.

Do not use Neurotoxins if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any of its ingredients, or suffer from any neurological disorders. Please inform your provider if you have any questions about this prior to the treatment.
