Lip Flip with botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment designed to define the upper lip, ideal for individuals looking to enhance the appearance of their smile without adding filler. It works through small applications of the neuromodulator on the orbicularis oris muscle, relaxing the muscle fibers so that the lip border elevates slightly outward. At FaceUp Clinics, we perform this procedure following a facial assessment to evaluate your facial expressions and anatomy.
The session lasts approximately 30 minutes and is carried out in the office by trained physicians. During the consultation, your mouth's mobility is evaluated, the area is cleansed, and micro-injections are applied using very fine needles. The process causes minimal discomfort and requires no recovery time, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately.
This procedure is suitable for those who feel their upper lip hides when smiling or for those who want a discreet touch-up to the shape of their mouth. It does not replace hyaluronic acid fillers, but rather offers a subtle, natural alternative to soften perioral lines and project the lip in a balanced way.
The effects gradually begin to be visible after a few days and their duration is temporary, adapting to the muscle dynamics of each patient. You can schedule your personalized assessment with Sara at our locations in Roma Norte, Polanco, or Santa Fe.
