Lip Flip

Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment

A lip flip is a great option for patients who have a hyperactive lip muscle that causes their top lip to pull away or hide when animating. A lip flip is different to lip filler in the fact that we are not adding any volume to your lip, we are only keeping your natural lip tissue out on display.

What Is A Lip Flip?

 

A lip flip is treated by injecting a wrinkle relaxer product into the orbicularis oris muscle, which helps form and shape the lips. The injection encourages the top lip to relax and “flip” outwards, giving the subtle illusion of a fuller lip.

What are wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle Relaxers are made up of botulinum toxins that, when injected into the facial muscles, temporarily block local nerve impulses that trigger contractions. As it is prescription only medication, it can only be administered by a medical professional at one cosmetic. 

 

It’s important to understand that wrinkle relaxer treatment is not a permanent solution, the result lasts for 2-3 months. If you have no further treatments the muscles will return to their normal function and lines will gradually go back to how they looked before injection.

Benefits of wrinkle relaxers:
  • Stop the top lip from overexposing the teeth and gums
  • Enhance the shape and volume of your lip without filler
  • Wrinkle relaxer is a quick, non-invasive procedure. It takes just minutes to perform
What is involved?

Wondering what’s involved in a lip flip before and after treatment? A lip flip involves thoroughly cleaning the area first. Your practitioner will then mark the area and determine where the toxin should be injected. A small needle will complete several small injections before your practitioner explains the necessary aftercare.

Your wrinkle relaxer appointment will take about 15-30 minutes from start to finish. As soon as the series of injections is completed, you can go back to your regular activities. 

At One Cosmetic, we use only the most advanced range of wrinkle relaxers. Due to Australian guidelines, we cannot use brand names online, however we stock the two leading brands available.

Risks

As always, there is risk involved with every treatment. At One Cosmetic we like our patients to be aware of risks and be well educated on the treatments they are undergoing. The risks associated with lip filler treatments are:

  • Headache in some patients
  • Nausea
  • Redness
  • Temporary facial weakness or drooping
  • Asymmetry
  • Eyelid droop and eyebrow droop
  • Infection is a very rare complication, but always a possibility when the needle goes into the skin
Frequently Asked Questions

We regularly get asked about our procedures, so we have put together a couple of questions we get asked on a regular basis. If there is something else you would like to know, please get in touch!

No, our team is selective in who they treat. Below is a guide of patients who may not be suitable for treatment

  • Anyone under the age of 18
  • Active skin disease, inflammation or skin related problems. 
  • Pregnant, breast-feeding or women trying to conceive a child
  • Individuals with medical conditions that lower the body’s immune response or individuals undergoing therapy that is immunosuppressive may be more prone to infection by a skin injection procedure
  • Any patients with eaton lambert syndrome
  • Patients with excessive upper eyelid skin hanging down over their eyes. If the horizontal forehead lines are treated in these people, any minor droop in their lids will become more noticeable.

You should start to see a visible improvement in the treated areas within a week. The full result will be noticeable at week 2 post treatment.

After a consultation one of our practitioners will determine how many units are required to treat the area. The normal dose is anywhere from 4 units.

Traditional lip augmentation with fillers involves injecting substances like hyaluronic acid to physically add volume and plumpness to the lips. A lip flip, on the other hand, is a more subtle approach that uses a small amount of anti-wrinkle injections into the upper lip’s muscles to relax the muscles, causing the lip to curl outward slightly, giving the illusion of a fuller lip without actually increasing its volume. 

Individuals undergoing a lip flip can expect a subtle, natural-looking enhancement, where the upper lip appears slightly fuller and more pronounced due to its relaxed and gently outward-curled position. The results are less about adding size and more about refining the lip’s shape and contour.
