Youthful, plump lips. Many celebrities have them and lots of people envy them. The lip flip may be your solution. 

The truth is as we age, our lips tend to lose volume, appearing thinner over time. You may even notice fine lines develop around your mouth. If you're looking for a noninvasive way to get fuller, poutier lips, Dreams Medspa has some good news. Say hello to the lip flip!  

A lip flip relaxes the shape of your lips for a subtle, natural appearance. "A lip flip is a quick, nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that uses Botox injections to relax the upper lip muscle, which enhances the upper lip's appearance," says Amy Muchowicz, nurse practitioner at Dreams MedSpa. "With a lip flip, Botox relaxes the muscle, and lip filler is placed into the lip with injectable hyaluronic acid to augment the lip size, create structure and soften fine lines around the mouth."

The lip flip causes the top lip to roll slightly upward so it appears more voluminous and defined and helps to smooth vertical lines around the lips. It won't drastically change your lips' look; instead, you can achieve a subtler, fuller-looking upper lip.

This safe and effective procedure takes about a week to see the results and lasts around six to eight weeks. "Since these muscles are used frequently, this treatment doesn't last as long as typical Botox treatments in other areas of the face," says Muchowicz. An upside if you're looking for a more cost-effective, lower commitment alternative to lip fillers.
