Get a Lip Flip at Exelus Med Spa in Glendale, CA.

A lip flip is a popular procedure that makes your lips look fuller without increasing the volume of your lips.

How Does It Work?

How Does A Lip Flip Work?

A lip flip is a nonsurgical procedure that makes your lips appear fuller. Your healthcare provider injects botulinum toxin into the corners of your mouth and the edges of your lips.

The botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles around your upper lip, which makes your lip “flip” upward a tiny bit and appear larger than normal.

A lip flip typically lasts between two to five months.

Recovery Time

Recovery Time

After treatment your lips may be slightly swollen, sensitive or numb. Swelling and sensitivity usually go away within 24 hours.

The following tips will help your lips heal:

Apply an ice pack for up to 10 minutes to reduce inflammation, pain and swelling.
Avoid wearing lipstick, lip balm or any other product on your lips for at least three to four days.
Refrain from putting pressure on your lips, including touching your lips, puckering your lips, kissing and sipping from a straw.

Treatment Process

Lip Flip Treatment Process

We use a thin needle to inject Botox in parts of your upper lip, including the corners of your mouth and the edges of your lips. You’ll feel a little bit of pain, and your eyes may water. On average, we will insert about two to four units of Botox into your upper lip and two units into your lower lip.

The entire procedure is quick, and it should only take 10 to 20 minutes.
