why USE BOTOX FOR LIP flip
And why does a tiny protein have such a big impact on your appearance?
The lip flip uses a small amount of neuromodulator around the upper lip to create a subtle, natural change in shape. Unlike fillers, it does not increase lip volume. Instead, Botox, a FDA-approved treatment, relaxes the muscle that curls the lip inward. As a result, the upper lip gently rolls outward, revealing more of its natural vermilion border and creating the appearance of fuller lips.
How Botox Helps Around the Mouth
Under the skin around the upper lip lies the thin, circular orbicularis oris muscle. Tiny injections of Botox slightly weaken the downward or inward pull of this muscle. The lip then relaxes and flips outwards naturally. This is not a dramatic transformation; it is subtle. The effect depends heavily on precise placement and minimal dosing.
Ideal Candidates
The lip flip is best for people who:
- Have a thin or less visible upper lip and want subtle enhancement.
- Prefer a natural look over dramatic volume.
- Want a low-commitment procedure.
- Understand that results will be modest and temporary.
Safety and Side Effects
Common temporary effects include mild swelling, pinpoint redness, or slight tenderness. Less common effects, such as eyebrow asymmetry, can occur if muscles respond unevenly, which is why injector experience is crucial. Neuromodulators like Botox have a well-established safety profile supported by decades of clinical use.

Benefits of lip flip Botox
Subtle Natural Enhancement
You do not get "plumped" lips, but you achieve a more visible upper lip border and potentially an enhanced Cupid’s bow—without fillers. For many, that provides a sense of balance.
Minimal Downtime
The injections are quick and usually well-tolerated, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately.
Reversible and Temporary
Because Botox effects fade over time, the lip flip isn’t permanent. On average, the effect lasts a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on individual metabolism and muscle dynamics.
Softly Defined Lips Without Fillers
For those wary of fillers, the lip flip offers a compromise: better lip definition with no added volume, utilizing only muscle relaxation.
Complementary Treatments
The Lip Flip is the "lite" version of lip enhancement—subtle, flirty, and strictly cosmetic. But while it creates a beautiful shape, it doesn't change the quality of the lips themselves.
To turn a simple flip into a total transformation, we recommend pairing it with treatments that address hydration, color, and structure.
The Gummy Smile Correction
Gingival Display Treatment: Often, the patients who want a Lip Flip are the same patients who feel they show too much gum when they smile. These two treatments are essentially cousins. By placing a few extra units near the nose, we can drop the upper lip slightly, hiding the gumline while simultaneously flipping the lip border outward. It’s a dual-action fix for a confident smile.
The Flawless Frame (Laser Hair Removal)
Nothing distracts from a perfect lip shape like a shadow on the upper lip.
- Laser Hair Removal: If you are investing in a Lip Flip to look feminine and refined, a dark shadow or fuzz above the lip works against you. Laser hair removal clears the canvas completely. It ensures that when light hits your new, flipped curve, it reflects off smooth skin rather than stubble, making the result look cleaner and more intentional.
- Chemical Peels: To keep your lipstick sharp and your smile bright, we need to resurface the skin surrounding the mouth. A series of Chemical Peels exfoliates the dead skin cells that cause makeup to settle into fine lines. It tightens the pores around the nose and mouth, giving you a filtered look in real life.
- HydraFacial: Dehydrated skin around the mouth can make the lips look thinner, countering the effect of your flip. A HydraFacial floods the perioral area with hydration, plumping the fine lines and giving your lower face a healthy, dewy glow that complements your new smile.
Profile Balancing
Chin Botox (Mentalis Treatment): A beautiful lip profile can be ruined by a dimpled or weak chin. If you are enhancing the projection of your lips, ensuring your chin is smooth and relaxed creates a harmonious side profile. Relaxing the chin often allows it to drop into a more flattering position, balancing the new attention on your mouth.

Our lip flip BOTOX FAQ
What is the average cost of Botox in CT?
While typical Botox prices in the South Windsor area range from $12-$20 per unit, at IV Lounge CT it costs only $10 a unit. For an exact quote based on your personal goals, schedule a consultation at our South Windsor office today.
What is the difference between a Lip Flip and Lip Fillers?
Think of it this way: Botox relaxes and Filler builds.
- Lip Fillers are a gel injected into the lip to physically add volume and size.
- The Lip Flip uses Botox to relax the muscle that curls the lip inward. This allows the lip to "flip" outward, revealing more of the pink vermilion. It makes the lip look taller without actually making it bigger. It is perfect for patients who are afraid of looking "overdone."
How many units do I need for a Lip Flip?
This is a "micro-dose" procedure. We typically use just 4 to 6 units here at our South Windsor, CT office of Botox placed precisely along the upper lip border. Because the dosage is so low, it is one of the most affordable cosmetic treatments available.
Will I have trouble drinking from a straw after doing a lip flip?
This is the most common side effect between our patients at IV Lounge CT medspa, but it is temporary. Because we are relaxing the muscle that purses the lips, you may find it slightly difficult to create strong suction (like drinking a thick milkshake through a straw) or whistle for the first 2 to 3 weeks. Normal eating, talking, and smiling are not affected.
How long does the botox result last around the mouth?
Because the mouth is the most mobile part of the face (we use it to eat, talk, and express constantly), Botox metabolizes faster here than in the forehead. Results typically last about 6 to 8 weeks. However, since the dosage is so small (often just 4–6 units), it is an easy and affordable add-on to maintain during your regular visits at our medspa in CT.
What is the aftercare needed after receiving Botox injections for lip flip
Use Anti-inflammatories: Using anti-inflammatories after your botox injection procedure for about 2 weeks will help with potential bruising.
Avoid laying down: Try not to lay down on your forehead for about 3 to 4 hours after your treatment.
Avoid Scrubbing or Rubbing your face: Wait about 24 to 48 hours before you decide to rub and scrub your face. This is to ensure positive results after your botox treatment.
Don’t wear makeup for 12 hours: Post injection waits at least 12 hours before you apply makeup to avoid irritation.
Does a lip flip hurt?
The area above the lip is sensitive, but the procedure is incredibly fast. It involves just 4 tiny superficial pokes and is over in less than 10 seconds. We can apply a numbing cream beforehand if you are nervous, but most patients from IV Lounge CT find it very tolerable.
Will a lip flip fix my "Gummy Smile"?
Yes, it often helps significantly! By relaxing the muscle that pulls the lip high up against the nose, the lip sits lower when you smile, covering more of the gum tissue. If you have a severe gummy smile, we may adjust the injection points slightly to specifically target that elevation at our South Windsor, CT clinic.
