Lip flip session using Botox does not require much time; it is a quick procedure that takes 10 to 20 minutes at most. The doctor monitors the result for about 15 minutes after the procedure to ensure there are no complications or side effects.
Like other cosmetic procedures, lip flip may have some potential side effects, including:
- Allergic reactions.
- Swelling (hematoma).
- Excessive bleeding.
- Your lips may be slightly swollen, sensitive, or even numb, and swelling and sensitivity usually disappear within 24 hours.
The following tips will help you heal your lips and prevent Botox from accumulating in other parts of your face:
- Apply an ice pack for up to 10 minutes to reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling.
- Avoid applying lipstick or any cosmetic products for the next three days.
- Refrain from applying pressure to your lips, including touching your lips, chewing on your lips, and kissing and drinking from the straw.
- Be cautious while brushing your teeth.
- Avoid sleeping on your face.
Lip flip surgery is one of the common cosmetic procedures within Creative Arts Aesthetic that people turn to in order to enhance their appearance and make their lips appear more attractive. This procedure involves modifying the shape of the upper lip to give it a raised and fuller appearance without the need for fillers like lip injections. It is considered a less invasive and more sustainable alternative to lip injections within the lips to achieve fuller lips.
1. Lip Flip
Lip flip surgery involves flipping and lifting the outer part of the upper lip, thereby giving it a fuller appearance without undergoing lip injections. This is sought after by many individuals within Creative Arts Aesthetic who seek balanced and more natural-looking results.
2. Reasons for Lip Flip
Before starting any procedure, we at Creative Arts Aesthetic discuss the most important reasons and motivations for cosmetic procedures.

There are several reasons that drive individuals to undergo this procedure, including:
- People who want to enhance the appearance of their lips naturally and in a balanced way, without making drastic changes.
- Individuals who lack confidence due to the appearance of their small or thin upper lip.
- People who want to add more volume and fullness to their lips temporarily without resorting to complex surgical procedures.
3. Details of Lip Flip Session
Lip flip is a non-surgical procedure that usually does not require anesthesia before the procedure. Botox is used, where the doctor uses a thin needle to inject Botox into parts of your upper lip, including the corners of your mouth and the edges of your lips. You may feel a little discomfort, and the doctor at Creative Arts Aesthetic administers about 2 to 4 units of Botox in your upper lip and 2 units in your lower lip.

- Provides natural and temporary results, allowing individuals to experience improvement in their appearance non-permanently.
- Does not require long recovery periods, as it is a clinic-based procedure and quickly compared to surgical procedures.
- It is considered an easy and less invasive alternative compared to other surgical lip augmentation procedures.
