Lip Flip with Botox at Aesthetiqua: Natural Volume without Fillers

Pain Scale

The desire for sensual, voluminous lips is nothing new. In fact, people have sought ways to improve their appearance since ancient times. While earlier methods were often risky and unreliable, modern aesthetic medicine offers effective and safe solutions. One of these revolutionary ways to achieve naturally full lips is the Lip Flip with Botox. This method requires no surgical procedures and is surprisingly uncomplicated.

At Aesthetiqua, we use the innovative Lip Flip technique with Botox® to naturally enhance the lips without plumping them. Unlike traditional lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid, which increases volume, the Lip Flip uses the muscle-relaxing effect of Botox® to gently rotate the lips outward and make more of the vermilion border visible.

Why has the Lip Flip captured so many hearts? Well, the answer lies in its simplicity and effectiveness. It offers a subtle but remarkable change that helps you emphasize your natural lip volume. In addition, the treatment is relatively quick and associated with minimal risks.

This method is ideal for patients with thin lips or those who desire a subtly enhanced, natural lip appearance.

Instant Natural Volume for the Upper Lip

What is a Lip Flip?

The Lip Flip is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment that aims to increase the volume of the upper lip without resorting to fillers like hyaluronic acid. Instead, Botox is used—a natural, purified protein substance that blocks nerve signals and thus relaxes certain muscles.

How it Works

In the Lip Flip with Botox, small amounts of the protein are injected into the upper lip area. The Botox causes the upper lip muscles to relax and gently roll outward. This rotation gives your lips a fuller and plumper appearance without injecting additional volume. This technique is particularly attractive for those who prefer a more subtle change. Since no additional filler is used, the risk of excessively “”pumped-up”” lips remains minimal. No “”duck lips””. The results are subtle, yet clearly visible.

Simple, Safe Method

Thanks to its simplicity and safety, the treatment has become a preferred method for many people. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes and requires no extensive preparation or recovery time. Theoretically, you can even get a Lip Flip during your lunch break! It is also important to mention that this method is temporary. The effect of Botox lasts for several months, which gives you the freedom to repeat the treatment if needed or to forgo it if it doesn’t meet your expectations. This allows you to achieve a voluminous upper lip.

Benefits of Muscle Relaxant Injection

Why do so many people choose a Lip Flip with Botox? The answer lies in the numerous benefits this method offers. Here are the main reasons why you might consider a Lip Flip. Furthermore, we have created an article here that compares the Lip Flip to a filler treatment.

More Natural Appearance

Unlike traditional lip fillers, which visibly add extra volume, the Lip Flip with Botox provides natural volume for the upper lip. The upper lip is gently rotated outward, making it appear fuller without looking inflated.

Quick and Simple Procedure

The treatment is quick and simple, often completed in less than 30 minutes. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment, making it an ideal option for busy people.

Minimally Invasive

Another advantage is that no surgery is required. This significantly reduces the risk of complications and side effects. You get the desired results without the need for cuts or stitches.

Cost-Effective

Compared to other methods of lip augmentation, such as hyaluronic acid injections, the Lip Flip is often more cost-effective.

What You Need to Know about the Treatment Process and your Expectations for this Treatment

The Treatment Process

If you decide on a Lip Flip, you surely want to know what to expect. Don’t worry, the process is simpler than you might think. Here is a detailed step-by-step guide to help you better prepare for the treatment.

Preparation: Before the treatment, a consultation will take place with one of our Aesthetiqua doctors. Here you can express your wishes and expectations, and the doctor will examine your lip area to ensure that the Lip Flip is suitable for you. They will also consider your medical history to rule out potential risks or contraindications.
Injection: On the day of the treatment, you will be placed in a comfortable reclining position, and the lip area will be cleaned. Your doctor will then use a tiny needle to inject small amounts of Botox into specific points around the upper lip. The entire process usually takes less than 10 minutes.
After Treatment: After the injection, you can immediately go home or resume your normal activities. There is no downtime, and you can usually see initial results after a few days. The full effect becomes visible after about 7 to 10 days.
Aftercare: Your doctor will give you specific aftercare instructions to ensure you achieve the best possible result. Common recommendations include staying away from heat sources like sun exposure or hot showers for the first 24 hours and avoiding intense physical activities.

What You Can Expect

After your Lip Flip treatment, you are surely eager to see the results and how your new look will unfold. But what can you truly expect?

Immediate Effects: Immediately after the treatment, you will notice that your upper lip looks somewhat fuller and more defined. However, this is just the beginning. It may take a few days for the Botox to fully spread in your lip muscles and for the final effect to become visible.
Long-lasting Results: The results of a Lip Flip usually last about 2 to 3 months. This can vary depending on the person and individual factors. Some people even report that the effect lasts up to 4 months. If you are satisfied with the results, you can repeat the treatment every few months to maintain the effect.
Minimal Effort, Maximum Impact: The change may seem subtle, but it can have a big impact on your overall appearance. Many of our patients report feeling more confident and comfortable in their skin after a Lip Flip.
Natural Appearance: One of the best features of the Lip Flip is that it maintains your natural lip shape. Instead of drastic changes, you get a gentle but effective enhancement that makes your smile more alluring and appealing.

If you are still unsure whether a treatment with Botox or lip filler is better suited for you, you can find more information in a detailed article here or consult with us.

Risks of Upper Lip Treatment with Botox

Common Side Effects

The most common side effects are swelling, mild redness, and bruising at the injection site. These are usually mild and subside on their own within a few days. In rare cases, headaches or a feeling of discomfort may occur.

Possible Complications

Although rare, there are also some potential complications you should be aware of. These include the asymmetric placement of the Botox, which can lead to asymmetrical results, or overcorrection, which can make your lips appear unnecessarily tight.

Allergic Reactions

Very rarely, people can develop allergic reactions to Botox. Symptoms may include itching, skin rashes, or even shortness of breath. If you notice such symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately.

Avoiding Side Effects

To minimize risks and side effects, it is important that we conduct a detailed consultation before the treatment.

Proper aftercare is crucial for achieving optimal results after a Lip Flip. Here are some tips to help you maintain your new look:

Immediate Aftercare

Avoid Heat: For the first 24 hours, stay away from hot showers, saunas, and direct sun exposure.
No Pressure on Lips: Avoid massaging or pressing your lips firmly.
No Intense Sports: Avoid strenuous physical activities for the first few days.

Long-term Care

Hydration: Drink enough water to keep your skin and lips well hydrated.
Lip Balms: Use lip balms with SPF to protect your lips from harmful UV rays.
Repeat Treatment: Consider repeating the treatment approximately every 2 to 3 months to maintain the effect. With proper care, you can ensure you get the most out of your Lip Flip and enjoy your full lips for a long time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions on: Lip Flip with Botox

What Exactly Is a Lip Flip and How Does It Work?

A Lip Flip is an aesthetic treatment that uses Botox® to relax the muscles around your upper lip. This relaxation causes your upper lip to gently roll upward, making more of your natural vermilion border visible and making your smile appear fuller.

Unlike fillers, which add volume, a Lip Flip merely changes the position of your lip to achieve a natural and more subtle appearance.

It is often also referred to as a Flip Lip or Lipflip.

For Whom Is the Lip Flip Particularly Suitable, and Who Should Rather Avoid It?

The Lip Flip is ideal for you if you want to naturally enhance your lip contour without adding extra volume with fillers. This method is particularly suitable for you if you have a “”gummy smile””, where a lot of gum tissue is visible, or if your upper lip rolls inward when you smile.

However, if you desire a significant increase in lip volume, lip fillers are the better choice, as the Lip Flip does not produce a significant volume increase.

How Can the Injection Result Be Improved by Treating Other Areas?

The result of a Lip Flip can be improved by additional Botox® treatments in adjacent areas such as the nose or the chin.

By treating these areas, you can harmonize the overall appearance and, for example, further reduce a gummy smile or improve the balance in the lower facial area.

Such complementary treatments support a harmonious aesthetic result that enhances your natural beauty.

What Are the Long-Term Prospects with Regular Treatments and How Is the Durability of Results Affected?

The results of a Lip Flip are temporary and usually last 8-12 weeks, though this can vary individually. To maintain the appearance long-term, regular touch-up treatments are necessary.

Long-term, the muscle may become accustomed to repeated injections, potentially leading to longer-lasting results.

It is important that you have the treatments performed by an experienced doctor to ensure consistent quality and a natural appearance.
