Lip Flip in Ashland, OR

Lip enhancement can improve the overall look of facial beauty. A full, well-defined upper lip can balance the face and create a more youthful appearance. A Botox lip flip can improve the lips without surgery or downtime. It can also correct a “gummy smile, ” a common concern among those with thin upper lips, whose top lip isn’t big enough to cover the gums when smiling.

At Illume Aesthetics, our injector specialists use Botox to relax the upper lip, which results in a fuller look and boosts confidence. By establishing a custom treatment plan meant just for you, we’ll use the Botox lip flip technique to help you reach your aesthetic goals.

The lip flip procedure uses Botox® Cosmetic or Dysport to temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause the upper lip to retract. This creates the effect of a much fuller top lip, modifying the natural contour without adding volume. As a non-surgical treatment, a lip flip is performed in the office by a master injector. The injector strategically places injections along the vermillion border or cupid’s bow to relax muscle tension and flip the underside of the lip outward.

If you want to refresh your lip appearance, this could be the perfect choice! A Botox lip flip is a minimally invasive treatment with several advantages, including:

• Subtly enhancing lips for a natural look
• Quickly transforming a smile without surgery
• Having no downtime after treatment
• Reducing a gummy smile
• Being more affordable than other lip treatments
• Offering results within a few days
• Boosting self-esteem
• Stopping vertical lines from forming above the lip

Overall, the lip flip is perfect for anyone wanting to refresh their smile with minimal fuss and lasting results.

*As with any cosmetic treatment, results may vary.

A small amount of neuromodulator is injected into the muscle that controls lip movement (orbicularis oris). This process relaxes the muscle, letting the upper lip roll outward for a fuller look without actually adding volume.

Treatment time is quick, taking about 10-15 minutes, and you can return to most normal activities immediately after.

The sensation is often described as prickling or light stinging, like a mosquito bite. Most patients find no numbing cream required, as the injections cause minimal discomfort. Some may feel slightly burning at the injection sites after treatment, which subsides within a few minutes.

Keep in mind that everyone’s pain tolerances vary. If you are concerned about discomfort and have a low pain tolerance, please bring that up during your initial consultation. We are happy to provide numbing agents to help you feel comfortable.

Initial lip improvements will start to show three to five days after treatment. Full results typically reveal themselves after a week. For most patients, the effects last two to five months before starting to wear off. Factors that influence how long your lip flip will last include:

• • How fast your metabolism works
  • Muscle activity in the treatment area
  • How much Botox is used
  • Lifestyle habits (smoking, dehydration, etc.)
  • Injection technique and injector skill

If you get maintenance treatments, you can extend the longevity of your lip flip. You can get touch-up sessions between two to three times a year. Our specialists are happy to help you determine the best schedule for maintaining your enhancements.

The ideal lip flip candidate is someone looking for a subtle change while keeping results natural-looking. It’s also an excellent option if you want to see how your lips will look before committing to fillers. Consider scheduling a consultation if you have thin lips or find that your gums show too much when you smile. Lip flips are not the treatment for those looking to increase lip volume significantly.

Any potential swelling and redness after a lip flip should disappear within 24 hours. Although you can resume most normal activities right after treatment, there are steps to take to enhance your results, such as:

• • Avoid touching or rubbing the lips for a few hours
  • Refrain from laying down immediately after treatment
  • No intense exercise for 24 hours
  • Avoid lipstick or lip balm for a few days
  • Minimize kissing or sipping through a straw for a few days
  • Be gentle when brushing your teeth

We recommend applying a cold pack in 10-minute intervals to reduce swelling.

Both a lip flip and lip filler treatment will define and enhance your smile, but they do so in different ways. Deciding which solution is best for you depends on your desired lip shape, current lip anatomy, and how much maintenance you are willing to commit to.

If your top lip is less full than your bottom lip, or you want a more subtle change, a lip flip may be the perfect solution. If you want a more dramatic transformation, lip fillers allow for customizable volume increase.

In terms of maintenance, lip fillers tend to last up to a year, allowing for more time in between touch-ups. Keep in mind that fillers are usually more expensive than a lip flip as they require more product.
