Lip Flip in Dubai:
Lip Flip is a non-surgical lip augmentation treatment in which a measured amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles around the upper lip to relax the fibers and modify the shape of the lips. It creates a pouty appearance without dermal filler or any invasive approach. Rather than just restoring the symmetry, it resolves gummy smiles and softens lines surrounding the mouth for an aesthetic appearance.
Working phenomenon:
When botulinum toxin is introduced into the orbicularis oris muscle, it lessens the ability of the muscle to contract. Due to this softening, the upper lip softens and gradually expands outward with a fuller-looking appearance. The pink layer of the lip also got revealed for a more symmetrical look. This noninvasive strategy demands no stitching and no tissue removal, but the outcomes will diminish naturally over time.
Where to Inject Botox for a Lip Flip?
The measured doses of botulinum toxin are delivered into the orbicularis oris muscle. Specific injection zones are:
Cupid’s bow (middle of the upper lip): Botox is infused just beyond the vermilion edge to soften the heart of the upper lip.
Corner of the mouth (lateral upper lip): Injections are inserted on each side to relax the external edge of the upper lip.
How many units of Botox are required?
The required units of Botox for lip flip are a very careful consideration because if too few units are injected, the results will be very minimal, and if too many units are injected, you will face major difficulty in controlling your facial movements. Typically, 4-6 units are required for perfect results. The exact number of units depends on:
- Traditional lip shape
- Muscle strength of the upper lip
- Expected results
Note: These units are divided into 2 to 4 injection points.
Lip Flip Cost:
The starting cost of Lip Flip at our clinic is 799 AED. The offered cost of our male and female lip flip is 599 AED. Sometimes, the cost fluctuates according to the number of Botox units and combination treatments.

How is Lip Flip Done?
Consultation:
Before the lip flip procedure, the doctor will take a detailed evaluation of your lip shape, symmetry, smile dynamics, muscle movement, and overall facial proportions. If you are suitable, then he will create your customized Botox lip flip plan with the required number of units. Your treatment day will be scheduled with some essential preparatory tips.
Preparation:
On the day of the session, the professional will recheck the injection spots and clean them properly to remove all the germs. The specific injection points are marked, and numbing lotion will be applied to manage needle pain.
Injection:
The units of Botox are administered into predetermined injection spots using ultra-fine needles. The expert will make sure that Botox reaches the exact orbicularis oris muscle. The injection placement will take 10 minutes, and then the expert will monitor you for some time.
Recovery and Results:
Day 1: You will experience redness, swelling, or bumps on your lips that will resolve in a few hours. There will be no visible results.
Day 3: Redness will be gone, but you will feel tightness in your lips with minor difficulty in movements. You will start noticing initial signs of muscle relaxation.
Day 7: The initial side effects and stiffness will fade. The results will start becoming more noticeable, and the upper lip will become more flipped.
Day 12: The final results will become visible in 10 to 12 days. Your upper lip will be at the maximum flipped position, and no gum will appear while smiling.

Does a lip flip affect my talking or eating ability?

Can I take a lip flip on my lower lip?
Yes, you can take a slight dose of Botox on the lower lip to create a pouty appearance.
Is there any difference between Botox and Dysport for a lip flip?

Lip flip can go wrong if too much product is injected, and it may lead to an asymmetrical smile, excessive drooling, and too much difficulty in eating or speaking.
Why are the results not long-lasting?
The results will only last for 2-4 months because the Orbicularis oris muscle is in constant use for speaking and eating, which causes the toxin to metabolize quickly.
Does it correct deep lines above my upper lip?
Yes, it slightly softens the appearance of smoker lines and lip wrinkles.
Can I combine lip filler and a Botox lip flip?
Yes, you can combine them to improve the volume and shape of your lips at the same time.
