How does a lip flip work?

A lip flip works by using Botox to subtly enhance the appearance of your upper lip. By injecting the solution into specific areas around your lip’s border, we can use lip flips to relax your muscles and flip the lip outward. This outward flip can create the illusion of a fuller lip. It can be an outstanding choice for people who want to add a little extra volume without using lip fillers. The results are natural-looking, and can add a charming touch to your smile.

Can I combine a lip flip with lip filler?

Absolutely! We can combine your lip flip in Denville with lip filler, as well as other treatments like Dysport, chin filler, nose filler, under eye filler, and more.

What’s the difference between a lip flip and lip filler?

While we use both treatments to enhance your lips, they work in different ways. A lip flip relaxes the muscles around your lip using Botox, giving it a slightly fuller appearance without adding much volume. In contrast, lip fillers involve adding substance to your lips for a more plump look. The choice between the two depends on your desired outcome. For more subtle enhancements, we recommend a lip flip. On the other hand, for more volume, lip fillers might be the way to go.

How can I decide if a lip flip is right for me?

If you’re looking for a very natural-looking enhancement to your lips, a lip flip might be the perfect solution for you. People who get lip flips often have thinner upper lips who want to create a more voluminous, pronounced lip line. It can also be a good solution for people who have previously tried fillers but prefer a less dramatic look. If you’re still not sure, a consultation with us can help determine exactly how you can benefit from a lip flip.

Pre-Care Instructions

You can start preparing for a lip flip in Denville by taking these steps:

Avoid blood thinners like aspirin and alcohol for at least 24 hours. This may help minimize any bruising or swelling that might occur during or after the procedure.
Hydration is important, so drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment.
If you have a specific look in mind, we welcome reference photos. They can help our providers understand exactly what you want your outcome to be.
Make sure to discuss any medical conditions or medications with us beforehand.

Post-Care Instructions

A little extra care after your lip flip in Denville can go a long way in enhancing your results.

Avoid any strenuous exercise or activities that might raise your body temperature for at least 24 hours. Doing so can help the Botox settle into place properly.
Some swelling or bruising is normal and additional side effects are minimal. However, if you’re experiencing discomfort following your treatment, we recommend applying a cold compress to help alleviate it.
Don’t apply makeup for the first few hours.
Maintain a good skincare routine afterward to enhance your overall results—moisturizing is important.
Keep an eye on your lips for the first few days. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
