Subtle procedures are gaining prominence in the realm of cosmetic enhancements aimed at bolstering self-confidence. Among these emerging options is the lip flip, a non-surgical treatment administered by LaterzaMD. Our mission is to educate our clients about procedures that promote natural beauty and inclusivity. This comprehensive guide elucidates the intricacies of the lip flip.
What is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure employing small doses of neurotoxin, such as Botox, Jeuveau, or Xeomin to relax the orbicularis oris (upper lip muscle). This relaxation induces a gentle outward movement of the lip, creating the illusion of a fuller and more prominent upper lip without the necessity of fillers.
This treatment is particularly appealing to individuals seeking a subtle enhancement to their lips or those who perceive their upper lip as diminishing when smiling.
How Does a Lip Flip Work?
The procedure involves injecting neurotoxin into the orbicularis oris muscle, which encircles the mouth. By relaxing this muscle, the upper lip undergoes a slight outward rotation, resulting in a fuller appearance.
The treatment is swift, typically requiring less than 15 minutes of treatment time and minimal discomfort. Notably, noticeable results emerge within a few days, with the full effects manifesting over two weeks.
Who is a Lip Flip Ideal For?
A lip flip may be an optimal choice for individuals seeking a natural-looking lip enhancement, minimizing a “gummy” smile, or exploring lip enhancement without committing to fillers. However, it is not recommended for those seeking dramatic volume in their lips, as dermal fillers may be a more suitable option in such cases.
Benefits of a Lip Flip:
- Subtle Enhancement: Ideal for individuals seeking a naturally fuller lip without significant alterations.
- Non-Surgical: Involves no downtime, with results typically lasting 6-8 weeks.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Less expensive than dermal fillers or surgical procedures.
- Confidence Boost: Enhances your smile and overall facial harmony.
