Medical director supervision

A lip flip is done under the supervision of a medical director. I'm the licensed RN doing the injection, following physician-directed protocols. My medical director has 23 years of practice and about 12 years in aesthetics. You can look up my license on the North Carolina Board of Nursing site.

A quick self-check

Smile in a mirror. Then ask yourself:

  • Does my top lip roll in and almost disappear when I smile?
  • Is the lip itself a size I'm happy with at rest?
  • Am I fine with a small change rather than a dramatic one?

Three yeses usually means a flip is worth talking about. If you'd like more lip at rest, that's HA filler for lip volume instead.

What it does

A few units soften the pull of the ring of muscle around your mouth, so the top lip turns out a little more when you smile. No product goes into the lip itself.

Cost

My pricing page lists a lip flip at 4 to 6 units. All neurotoxins are $13 per unit, so it's $52 to $78. Other areas the same visit are also $13 per unit; see Botox in Mooresville.

Does it hurt?

It stings more than a forehead treatment for most people. There are only a handful of injection points, though, so it's quick.

Downtime

Nothing that keeps you home. Expect tiny raised spots for a short while; a bruise is possible.

How long it lasts

It builds over several days and settles at about two weeks. MedlinePlus says cosmetic Botox for frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet may be repeated every 3 to 4 months, depending on how long the effect lasts. That guidance covers those areas, not this one, so I won't promise a number.

The label

The FDA prescribing information for Botox Cosmetic lists the approved cosmetic areas: frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines, and neck (platysma) bands. The upper lip isn't on that list, so this is an off-label use. Off-label use is common in aesthetics, and I'd rather tell you up front than have you find out later.

Your first visit

Bring your answers from the mirror test. We go through them together, I tell you if a flip will make a visible difference, and if you go ahead, the two-week follow-up is included, with a unit or two added at no charge if needed.

Is it safe? When to wait

Botox and Dysport are prescription drugs. MedlinePlus summarizes the patient information for onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) and abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport). Before we book, I'll ask about pregnancy or breastfeeding, any nerve or muscle condition such as myasthenia gravis, ALS, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, trouble swallowing or breathing, and any past reaction to a botulinum toxin product. If one applies, we wait or skip it. The FDA prescribing information for Botox Cosmetic lists side effects such as eyelid or brow drooping and headache. Singers, wind players, and people who talk for a living should mention it too, since the flip relaxes the muscle used to purse the lips.
