Lip Flip

Service Description

A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of the lips by utilising small amounts of botulinum toxin to relax the muscles around the upper lip. This technique aims to create a fuller, more pronounced upper lip without the use of fillers. By causing the lip to "flip" outward, it can result in a subtle increase in lip volume and improve the overall shape of the mouth. Aftercare for a Lip Flip Proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal results and minimise potential side effects following a lip flip. Here are key aftercare tips: Avoid Touching the Area: Patients should refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent the toxin from spreading to unintended muscles. Stay Upright: It is advisable to remain upright for several hours after the procedure. Lying down immediately afterward may increase the risk of complications. Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from intense exercise and activities that may cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Limit Alcohol Consumption: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours after the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling. Cold Compress: If there is any swelling or discomfort, applying a cold compress to the treated area can help alleviate these symptoms. Use a clean cloth or ice pack wrapped in a towel. Avoid Facial Treatments: Patients should avoid facials, massages, or other skin treatments in the area for at least two weeks after the procedure.
