Lip Flip

A Lip Flip is a popular, non-surgical cosmetic treatment that enhances the appearance of the upper lip by gently relaxing the muscles that pull it inward. This allows the lip to roll slightly outward, creating the look of a fuller, more defined upper lip without adding volume or filler.

At CN Medical in Park Ridge, IL, our skilled injectors use precise Botox (or similar neuromodulator) injections to improve lip shape and balance while maintaining a natural appearance.

Why Choose a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is ideal for those who want to achieve a natural-looking enhancement without the added volume of fillers. Here are some reasons why you might consider this procedure:

• Subtle Enhancement: Achieve definition without the use of fillers.
• Gummy smiles: when too much gum shows when smiling
• Quick and Convenient: The procedure is quick, often taking less than 15 minutes, with minimal downtime.
• Cost-Effective: Less expensive than lip fillers.
• Temporary Results: Lasts about 2-3 months, allowing you to decide if you like the look before committing to more permanent solutions.

The Lip Flip Procedure:

1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation where you discuss your aesthetic goals and determine if a lip flip is right for you.
2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort, although not usually necessary.
3. Injection: A small amount of Botox is injected into the muscles just above the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles and allows the lip to flip slightly outward.
4. Aftercare: There is minimal downtime, but you may experience slight swelling or bruising. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately.

Ideal Candidates for a Lip Flip

The lip flip is suitable for individuals who:

• Have a thin upper lip and want a fuller appearance.
• Desire a more pronounced smile.
• Are looking for a less invasive alternative to lip fillers.
• Want temporary results to try out the look.

Post-Procedure Care:

After a lip flip, it’s important to follow a few simple guidelines to ensure optimal results:

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area: This prevents the Botox from spreading to unintended areas.
• Stay upright: Avoid lying down for the first few hours post-treatment.
• Limit strenuous activity: Refrain from heavy exercise for 24 hours.
