Lip Flip

A lip flip with Botox can be a great option for several people looking to enhance their smile.

• Subtle Lip Enhancement: If you desire a natural-looking fuller upper lip without adding significant volume, a lip flip can achieve this.
• Reduced Gums Shown When Smiling: Do you feel like your smile reveals too much gum tissue? A lip flip can help create a more balanced smile by everting the upper lip slightly, reducing gum show.
• Defined Cupid's Bow: The Botox injection technique can enhance the natural curve of your Cupid's bow, adding subtle definition to your upper lip.

While you might see some initial changes immediately following your lip flip, the full results typically take a few days to develop.

Initial Effects (Right After):

• You may experience some mild swelling in the treated area immediately after the injection. This is a normal temporary side effect and usually subsides within a day or two.
• Similar to the swelling, there might be some temporary redness around the injection points.

Full Results Emerge (Within a Week):

• As the swelling subsides (usually within 2-3 days), you'll start to see the full lip enhancement effect. The Botox relaxes the upper lip muscle, allowing it to flip outward, creating a fuller appearance.

Both lip flips and lip fillers are cosmetic procedures that enhance the appearance of your lips, but they achieve this in distinct ways.

A lip flip provides a natural-looking subtle enhancement, while lip fillers offer more volume and sculpting options.

A consultation with a qualified injector like the ones at Evolve Med Spa is crucial to discuss your desired outcome and determine the best approach for you. They can assess your lip anatomy and recommend lip flip, lip fillers, or even a combination of both for optimal results.

• Do not massage the area after being treated
• You may lightly apply ice if you desire
• Keep your head up right and avoid laying down 4 hours after getting treated
• Avoid sweating, saunas,hot tubs and heavy exercise 24 hours after treatment, otherwise this may reduce the longevity of the product
• You may apply makeup immediately after treatment, but use caution as though this may cause an acne breakout if bacteria gets into the injection sites

• Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and supplements like fish oil and vitamin E, for at least one week before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising, unless prescribed by your doctor
• Limit alcohol consumption for 24-48 hours before your appointment, as it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to ensure optimal results and avoid potential contamination.
• Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to support overall skin health.
• Cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding

A lip flip typically lasts 2–3 months — shorter than lip filler because the small amount of neurotoxin used metabolizes faster. Many clients schedule touch-ups every 10–12 weeks to maintain results.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. The injections are quick and use a very fine needle — many describe it as a light pinch. No numbing is typically required, though we can apply a topical numbing cream if you prefer.

Yes, and it's a popular combination. Filler adds volume while the flip enhances the shape of the upper lip, giving a more defined and pouty result than either treatment alone.

A lip flip may not be right for you if you play a wind instrument, need to use a straw frequently, or have certain neuromuscular conditions. It's also not recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Our providers will review your health history during your consultation to confirm it's the right fit.
