What Is A Lip Flip?

A subset of our IWR injectables, a lip flip is a relatively new cosmetic procedure that gives a person fuller lips with one quick and straightforward treatment. People also refer to it as a lip injection. A lip flip involves injecting a neurotoxin into the upper lip.

A lip flip is a nonsurgical method of creating a fuller lip. A doctor injects botulinum toxin A, popularly known as “botox” into the upper lip to create an illusion of a larger lip. It relaxes the muscles above the lip, resulting in the upper lip “flipping” slightly upward. Although the procedure makes the lip look more prominent, it does not increase the size of the lip itself. Lip flips may be particularly beneficial for individuals who have smiles that expose much of their gums. Following a lip flip, less gum shows when the individual smiles because the upper lip elevates less.

Recovery Time And Results

Results appear over a few days. During this time, the orbicularis oris muscle relaxes, which allows the upper lip to lift and “flip.” People should see the full results about a week after treatment.

It is normal to have a small bump at the injection site for a few hours following treatment. Bruising may also occur.

A lip flip lasts for about 2–3 months. It only lasts for a short duration because the upper lip muscle often moves, causing its effects to wear off. This short period might be due to the small dose involved.

Summary

A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure where a doctor uses our IWR injections and places them into the muscle immediately above the top lip. The neurotoxin relaxes the muscle, which causes the lip to flip up, giving the appearance of a fuller lip.

A lip flip is different from dermal fillers: they provide the illusion of fuller lips, while dermal fillers truly make the lip larger.

Individuals can expect to see results within a week of the treatment.

I am a gastric sleeve patient who still sometimes deals with dehydration. I was sent home from work yesterday and had to call in today due to dizziness from dehydration. Wellness at the spa was not only able to get me in immediately, but they were also the cheapest I found after calling about 15 other places. The lady who worked the office was very professional, on top of being friendly and personable. The whole process only took about 15-20 minutes. I would hands down recommend this place for your vitamin and hydration boost needs.

I had been feeling run down for a few weeks and was hoping for a boost before an upcoming trip. I’d never done IV Therapy before but figured I’d give it a try. I chose Wellness at the Spa based on positive online reviews. I’m so glad I did. Posha was an absolute joy. I spoke with her the day before and she answered all my questions with patience and gave me lots of great information. She knows her stuff! When I had the therapy done, Posha walked me through my options and advised what she thought was best for my situation. Never once did she try to “upsell” me or recommend unnecessary treatments. Posha was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and personable. I will definitely be back!

I could not shake a bad case of bronchitis and decided to give IV vitamin therapy & B12 injection a try. It was very easy to make an appointment, and they were prompt and very professional. Posha was very friendly and knowledgeable and made the whole process easy. Just a few hours later, I'm already feeling better. I will definitely be a frequent customer.

Not only was she very informative of the product I was getting but she has hands of an angel, I didn’t even feel the shot given!!! All around a great place and I can’t wait to go again !
