Is a Botox Lip Flip Right For You?

…BUT FIRST, WHAT ARE YOUR LIP GOALS?

At Beautifully New, our goal is to provide you with natural-looking results using non-surgical FDA-cleared cosmetic treatments like BOTOX and dermal fillers. We want nothing more than to help you achieve your ultimate lip goals. We encourage you to learn more below and contact us for a consultation in our Chicagoland medical spa to find out what we can do for you.

Lip injections, which include hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and BOTOX, are much more versatile than you likely realize. These magical injectables provide amazing results, such as:

• Enhanced lip volume & fullness
• Balance & symmetry
• Reshaping & contouring
• Anti-aging & reduced lip lines
• Lip projection & perk

Depending on your ultimate lip goals, we may recommend dermal fillers, a BOTOX lip flip, or even both. It’s all about your unique needs and the look you wish to achieve. We aim to please.

FOUR REASONS YOU MIGHT WANT A BOTOX LIP FLIP

1. Lip Injection First Timers

Is it your first time trying lip injections? A BOTOX lip flip can be a good place to start, especially if you’re apprehensive about dermal fillers adding too much volume. This can be the case if your lips are already naturally plump.

2. Touch-Up Treatment Between Dermal Filler Appointments

If you need a little maintenance between filler treatments, but adding filler would be a bit too much, BOTOX can help. Just a few injections around the lip border can restore your look before it’s time to get refilled with your favorite lip filler.

3. More Dramatic Results After Lip Filler Treatments

If you want more noticeable lip enhancement results following your dermal filler treatment, a little BOTOX can take your lips from wow to capow! The BOTOX adds that extra projection for big time luscious lips worthy of a double take (in a good way). So if you want the dramatic results, this combination approach delivers.

4. The Pre-Event BOTOX Lip Flip

If you have an important event or photo shoot coming up, and you want to avoid that freshly injected appearance, a little BOTOX can go a long way. There’s often less bruising and swelling with BOTOX in the lips than with dermal fillers. This is because the BOTOX is injected into the edges of the lips on a more superficial level. Just a few pokes and you’re on your way!

WHO SHOULD NOT GET A BOTOX LIP FLIP?

Of course, no treatment is right for everyone. We cater all of our cosmetic treatments to your unique needs and goals, determined during a personalized consultation with our expert providers.

If you want enhanced lips with more volume, you will likely require lip fillers like Juvederm Volbella or Restylane Kysse. These will add some plump to your pout with long lasting results.

If your lips look asymmetrical, you will likely benefit from a dermal filler application using one of the many formulas from Juvederm or Restylane. For example, if your bottom lip is significantly thinner than your top lip, a little filler can balance them out. If the right side of your upper lip has a lovely shape to it, and the left side doesn’t match, we can contour the lip to even everything out. Symmetry is beautiful.

If you want to change the shape of your lips, we will use a hyaluronic acid filler to add a precise border, create that lovely Cupid’s Bow, and sculpt the lips into a perfectly contoured pout.

If you have vertical lip lines, we have thin, smooth fillers which can smooth those areas for a more youthful look. Restylane Silk is a perfect example of a filler we can use in these lines around your lips. A good side effect of smoothing these lines is that your lips will also appear fuller, as those lines caused your lips to appear thinner over time. This is an important reason to avoid straws and smoking.

IS A BOTOX LIP FLIP RIGHT FOR YOU?

To determine if a BOTOX Lip Flip is the right solution for you, we will have you come in for a personalized consultation. During this consultation, we will discuss your lip goals and concerns and how we can achieve a natural look that complements your other facial features.

Our examination and discussion will also include an evaluation of your health history, prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and even supplements you take. We will go over any allergies you’ve had, other cosmetic treatments you’ve recently received, and more.

Following your consultation, we will be able to determine which treatment(s) will safely provide you with the desired results.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A BOTOX LIP FLIP TREATMENT

We will provide you with pre-treatment instructions to help you get the best results with fewer side-effects. It’s important to follow these instructions, as they can reduce the chances of bruising and swelling. During your treatment, we will ensure your comfort with numbing prior to injecting BOTOX using a very fine needle. We may also use ice between injections to manage swelling and maintain your comfort.
