Subtle Pouty Lips: How Does a Lip Flip Work?

Introduction 

If you're looking for a subtle way to enhance your lips without the dramatic results of traditional lip fillers, a lip flip might be the perfect option for you. This non-invasive procedure involves injecting a small amount of neuromodulator into the upper lip, creating a subtle upward curl. Let's delve into how a lip flip works and how it differs from lip fillers. 

How Does a Lip Flip Work? 

A lip flip involves injecting a small amount of a neuromodulator, such as Botox or Dysport, into the upper lip. This neuromodulator temporarily relaxes the muscles that pull the upper lip downward, allowing it to curl upward and create a more defined, pouty appearance. 

Benefits of a Lip Flip 

• Natural-Looking Results: Lip flips provide a subtle enhancement to your lips without the dramatic appearance of traditional fillers. 
• Minimal Downtime: The procedure is quick and requires minimal downtime. 
• Temporary Results: The effects of a lip flip are temporary, lasting for several months. This allows you to experiment with the look before committing to a more permanent solution. 
• Less Invasive: Compared to lip fillers, a lip flip is a less invasive procedure with fewer risks and side effects. 

The Lip Flip Procedure 

1. Consultation: You'll have a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider like the ones at Evolve Med Spa to discuss your goals and determine if a lip flip is suitable for you. 
2. Preparation: Your provider will clean and numb the area to be injected. 
3. Injection: A small amount of neuromodulator is injected into the upper lip. 
4. Recovery: There is typically no downtime required after a lip flip procedure. 

What to Expect After a Lip Flip 

• Immediate Results: You may notice some immediate changes to your lips after the procedure. 
• Full Results: The full effects of a lip flip may take a few days to become visible. 
• Temporary Results: The effects of a lip flip typically last for several months, but individual results may vary. 

Conclusion 

A lip flip offers a subtle and natural-looking way to enhance your lips. If you're seeking a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime, a lip flip may be the perfect option for you. Consult with a qualified healthcare provider to learn more about the benefits and risks of this cosmetic treatment.
