Lip Flip With Botox in Arlington, Virginia
With today’s emphasis on plump, youthful and well-defined prominent lips, there is now an alternative to dermal fillers.
Lip flip Botox is becoming more and popular as an agent that can lead to more pouting of the lips.
Botox In The Lip Flip Procedure
Botox is not a filler like Restylane or RHA. It is a neurotoxin that works by weakening the muscle around the mouth, thereby relaxing muscles, which allows for more pouting of the lips/mouth.
The change is more subtle than with Juvederm, but for those who want a mild natural-looking enhancement, it is a perfect alternative.
Lip Flip Botox Technique
The procedure is fast, safe, and really effective for more pout in the lips.
After applying a topical anesthetic, Botox is injected with a very fine needle in five different areas on the lips. It is practically painless and takes just a few moments.
When Will I See Results?
Unlike with fillers, the effect of Botox takes two-to-three days and lasts about two months, after which it can be repeated.
In some cases, patients may want to enhance the result with a filler as well.
Lip Flip Cost
The cost of Botox makes it especially attractive and not as expansive compared to dermal fillers.
It is much less expensive than fillers and for that reason can be a great alternative for some patients.
Should I Expect Any Side Effects?
Because the dose of Botox injected is so minimal, side effects are uncommon aside from the possible initial bruising and swelling.
Lip flip Botox can cause very mild, temporary weakness of the mouth function such as whistling and using a straw. But these, if present, disappear after a few days.
