What to Know About Lip Flips with Tox & How to Care for Your Results
Are you curious about enhancing your smile with a subtle, yet beautiful change? The lip flip with Tox (Xeomin, Daxxify or Dysport) might be just what you’re looking for! This increasingly popular treatment is a great way to achieve a fuller-looking upper lip without the commitment of dermal fillers. Let’s dive into what a lip flip is, how it works, and how to care for your lips afterward.
What Is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a quick, non-surgical procedure that uses small amounts of Tox to relax the muscles around your upper lip. The goal? To make your upper lip subtly “flip” outward, giving the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip. The treatment is perfect if you want a natural enhancement with minimal downtime.
How Does It Work?
During a lip flip, Tox is injected into the orbicularis oris muscle (the muscle surrounding your mouth). By relaxing this muscle, the lip gently flips upward, exposing more of your natural lip without adding volume. The result is a soft, natural lift that enhances your smile without changing your facial features.
What to Expect During the Treatment
The lip flip procedure is super quick—usually around 10-15 minutes—and relatively painless. You may feel a small pinch with each injection, but most people find it very tolerable. There’s no need for numbing cream, and you can go right back to your day afterward.
Results typically start to appear within a few days, with full results visible in about 7-10 days. The effect lasts around 6-8 weeks, making it a great option if you’re looking for a short-term enhancement.
Lip Flip Aftercare: Keep That Perfect Pout!
After your lip flip, there are a few simple steps you can take to ensure the best results:
- Avoid Touching the Area: Refrain from rubbing or massaging your lips for at least 24 hours. This allows the Tox to settle and work its magic.
- Skip Intense Exercise: For the first 24 hours, it’s best to avoid strenuous activities. Increased blood flow can cause the Tox to migrate away from the targeted area.
- Stay Upright: Try to keep your head elevated for the first few hours post-treatment. Lying down immediately after your appointment might cause the product to shift.
- Be Gentle When Eating or Drinking: For the first few days, avoid using straws or drinking very hot beverages. These actions can put pressure on the muscle and affect the results.
- Results Take Time: Remember, you won’t see the full effects right away. Be patient as your results develop over the week following your treatment.
Is a Lip Flip Right for You?
The lip flip is ideal for those looking for a more subtle enhancement or those curious about lip treatments but not ready for fillers. It’s also great if you notice your upper lip disappearing when you smile or if you just want a little extra pout without added volume.
As with any cosmetic treatment, it’s important to have realistic expectations. While a lip flip can provide a noticeable lift, it’s a subtle change. If you’re looking for more dramatic results, lip fillers may be a better option.
