Lip Flips: How BOTOX® Can Lift Your Smile

You probably know of lip fillers, but are you aware of lip flips? More affordable when compared to fillers, this minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment enhances your lips with a more natural look. If you want a change in your lip appearance, here is how BOTOX® helps.

What Are Lip Flips?

Lip flips are a cosmetic procedure in which BOTOX® injections are used to relax the muscles in your lips. The BOTOX® goes directly to the orbicularis muscles in the upper lip and relaxes them, giving you a more youthful lip appearance. Unlike lip fillers, lip flips don't give you fuller lips.


The procedure is quick and takes around five minutes, making it an ideal treatment for many people.

How BOTOX® Improves Your Smile

BOTOX® offers various advantages, especially when it comes to improving your smile.


According to the US National Library of Medicine, BOTOX® injections prevent the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that relaxes the tension of the muscles. When the muscles relax, your lips will protrude outward, giving you a more pointed look.


BOTOX® helps in hiding gums when injected into the muscles located between your nostril and upper lip which are called the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscles. Lip flips can also help reduce wrinkles when smiling as BOTOX® injections help smoothen the area around your lips that cause vertical lines.


During the procedure, your practitioner will administer multiple BOTOX® injections into different parts of your lips to relax the muscles. Up to eight units of BOTOX® can be used depending on how much of your gums are visible.
