To make your upper lip look fuller and plumper with a Botox lip flip, a small quantity of Botox is carefully put near the corners of your mouth and the cupid’s bow. This helps relax the upper lip muscle, making your lip flip outwards. The idea is to show more of your upper lip and give it a nice fullness.
Where to inject Lip Flip Botox
When you get a lip flip with Botox, the person doing it will inject small amounts of Botox in specific places on your upper lip, like the cupid’s bow and the corners of your mouth.
After it is injected, the Botox does its job by making the muscle over your upper lip, called the orbicularis oris, relax. This relaxation makes your lip gently roll upward, making it look like it has more volume. Also, these injections can help smooth out little lines and wrinkles around your mouth for a while.
How is Lip Filler different from Botox Lip Flip
Botox Lip Flip and Lip Filler are not the same. Lip Filler adds volume to the lip using a dermal filler, while Lip Flip with Botox relaxes the lip muscles to make the upper lip look fuller.

How much time does the Botox Lip Flip last
Normally, the results of Botox lip flip last about 2 months on average. Unlike Botox in other face areas, like the forehead, the orbicularis oris muscle (used for talking, eating, and drinking) is very active. Because of all the movement, the results do not last as long.
Does a Lip Flip with Botox cause pain
When getting dermal lip filler, the numbing stuff (lidocaine) is usually in the hyaluronic acid, so people do not feel much pain during and after.
For Botox Flip Lip, there is no lidocaine in the treatment solution, so some people worry about feeling pain. However, in general, it is not a painful thing. You might feel a quick poke at the injection spots, but it is more like a tiny discomfort than actual pain. Any mild discomfort usually goes away within a day.
Is there a recovery period after getting a Botox Lip Flip
