How Botox Produces a Flip or Curl in the Lip

Botox works to create a flip or curl in the lip by relaxing the muscles around the mouth. Specifically, it targets the orbicularis oris muscle, which encircles the mouth. When small amounts of Botox are injected into this muscle, it temporarily reduces its activity. This relaxation allows the upper lip to roll slightly outward, creating a subtle yet noticeable enhancement in the shape and appearance of the lip. The result is a fuller, more defined lip contour without the need for fillers or invasive procedures, making it an ideal option for those seeking a natural-looking improvement.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for the Lip Flip Edmotnon?

Ideal candidates for the Botox Lip Flip are individuals seeking a subtle enhancement of their upper lip without the added volume of fillers. It’s perfect for those looking for a quick, non-invasive procedure with minimal recovery time.

Additionally, people with a gummy smile often have thinner lips due to the excessive activity of the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (LLSAN) muscle. By reducing this muscle activity, this can help achieve fuller, more defined lips. Thus, this procedure can be a non-invasive solution for individuals looking to correct a gummy smile and enhance their lip appearance.
