Lip Flip | Auburn, AL
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 7.7 million botulinum toxin type A (Botox®) procedures were performed in 2019 in the United States! This makes it the most popular cosmetic procedure in the country.
What is a “Lip Flip”?
The Lip Flip procedure is a minimally invasive procedure to produce a slightly fuller upper lip. The procedure is performed with Botox® or Dysport®. This results in fullness that lasts up to 3 months.
What about lip filler or lip augmentation?
No filler is injected during the lip flip procedure. Products like Juvederm and Restylane are used to shape, define and plump the lips. Fillers produce a more dramatic and long lasting result than the lip flip. Learn more about fillers for lip augmentation here.
Indications: BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.
WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT | Postmarketing reports indicate that the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have an underlying condition that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses, including spasticity in children, and in approved indications, cases of spread of effect have been reported at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and upper limb spasticity and at lower doses.
