Botox Lip Flip Treatment Specialist in Dickson City, PA and Verona, NJ

Many people have heard about traditional lip injections, where a filler substance (most likely hyaluronic acid-based) is injected into the lip to enhance lip volume and achieve a desired aesthetic. A Botox lip flip, on the other hand, is also a form of minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for the lips, however, it serves a slightly different purpose: to make the lip appear more pronounced, fuller, and natural while volume is not added. What this means is that the desired results are achieved through Botox altering the position of the lip rather than adding more volume to do so. For many people, this is a more desirable cosmetic option than traditional lip fillers, but it can certainly be difficult to determine this on your own. For this reason, speaking with the appropriate medical professionals who oversee cosmetic procedures, such as a dermatologist, nurse practitioners, etc., should help get a better understanding of which cosmetic procedures will work best for your circumstances and goals.

The goal of a Botox lip flip can be summarized quite simply as creating a more pronounced and fuller appearance of the upper lip without significantly adjusting the natural shape or adding volume via filler substances. More specifically, a Botox lip flip consists of injecting the Botox in specific regions around the mouth that relaxes the area to achieve the distinguished upward ‘flip’ appearance. From the procedure, it is normal for light swelling and heaviness of the lip area to occur and should get better after a few days. In addition, a few days after the procedure, the results will begin to appear. The lips will start to become noticeably fuller and develop a more pronounced shape while still maintaining a very natural appearance. With that being said, Botox lip flips may not be the best cosmetic lip procedure for everyone’s goals, so it is important to do the proper research and contact the appropriate medical professionals before going through with the procedure.

It is often a misconception that Botox procedures imply long-term or permanent results, however, this is generally not the case. The results from cosmetic procedures that utilize Botox are very often temporary, however, patients often end up getting regularly scheduled touch-up procedures to maintain their results. For Botox lip flips, this course of action will be needed to maintain results long term as well and the procedure typically lasts around 3-4 months on average. This can be explained through several factors that alter the longevity of essentially all similar procedures. For instance, a person’s metabolism is one of the biggest factors in determining how long results will last. Because part of the metabolism’s purpose is to break down the substances within the body, a person with a fast metabolism will generally see their results last shorter than someone with a slower metabolism. Additionally, factors such as the dosage of Botox used a person’s muscle activity around the lip region, as well as their overall health are significant factors that directly impact the longevity of results. Finally, one of the most important factors to ensure that the desired results last as long as possible is following the physician’s or provider’s recommendations as they can give detailed information on what actions to take, as well as what actions to not take.

It is undeniably difficult to determine if a Botox lip flip will help achieve the results you desire all on your own. Despite this, there are certainly indicators of good candidates for the procedure. Botox lip flip is best suited for people looking for subtle, yet noticeable lip enhancement without the increase in volume that traditional lip injections or fillers provide. In addition to this, good candidates for the procedure must be in good health since the risk of significant complications is much higher among those with conflicting conditions. With that being said, the best way to determine if you are a good candidate for a Botox lip flip will still be to schedule a consultation with the proper medical professionals and visit us at True Bliss Medical to get comprehensive and specialized care. We serve clients from Dickson City PA, Verona NJ, Livingston NJ, Dunmore PA, West Orange NJ, Montclair NJ, Clifton NJ, Jermyn PA, Cedar Grove NJ, Wayne NJ, and BEYOND.
