A lip flip uses botulinum toxin to temporarily weaken part of the muscle around the upper lip, allowing the lip edge to turn slightly outwards. It changes the way the lip is displayed; it does not add volume like a filler. Changes are usually subtle, and evidence from clinical studies remains limited. A lip flip and treatment for a gummy smile are not interchangeable: the cause of gum show needs a separate assessment. The effect is temporary and varies between people. Whether and when to repeat treatment should be decided after review, rather than assumed to follow a fixed three-to-four-month schedule.
Doctor Led Lip Flip Liverpool - Benefits
Botulinum toxin reduces nerve signals to the treated muscle. It may soften some movement-related lip lines, but individual results are not guaranteed. A lip flip is not risk-free: possible effects include injection-site pain, bruising or swelling, asymmetry, and temporary weakness that can affect lip closure, drinking, speaking or smiling. The prescriber should discuss the expected benefit, alternatives and these functional risks before treatment. When BOTOX is used for a lip flip, this is outside its licensed UK indications; the prescriber should explain the medicine and its off-label use. Seek urgent medical help if problems with swallowing, speaking or breathing occur after treatment.
Why Choose Dr Sknn for Lip Flip
At Dr Sknn in Wilmslow, Cheshire, a consultation for Lip Flip Botox commences with a facial analysis to spot any areas of fine lines and creases. Treatment should be considered only after the clinician has assessed suitability and discussed alternatives, expected effects and risks. A review of facial muscles and skin laxity is first undertaken, in addition to an assessment of the patient's desired aesthetic objectives. A customised treatment plan is then formulated, amalgamating the individual's Lip Flip Botox with a realistic outcome and any potential risks. The consultation also involves talking about the patient's lifestyle, medical conditions or allergies, to make sure the treatment plan meets their needs.
