What's a Flip Lip?
A lip flip is injection of Botox into the upper border of the upper lip. It is usually 4 small injections of 1-2 units each. This causes in relaxation of the circular muscle around the lip, causing the lip to curl up a touch. The result is subtle fullness in the upper lip, without adding volume. This can be used to treat the vertical wrinkles of the upper lip ("smoker's lines" or "kissing lines"), or simply for a subtle lip enhancement.
