Lip Flip Treatment in Long Island, NY
Lip Flip Treatment
Lip Flip is a revolutionary cosmetic procedure that offers a subtle enhancement to the lips without the need for fillers. This non-surgical treatment involves the precise injection of botulinum toxin, such as Botox®, into the muscles surrounding the upper lip. By relaxing these muscles, the upper lip gently “flips” outward, creating a fuller and more pronounced appearance. Unlike traditional lip fillers that add volume directly to the lips, the Lip Flip enhances the natural shape of your lips, making them appear more voluminous and pouty.
Ideal candidates for the Lip Flip treatment at Glow Wellness Care in East Northport, NY, are those who desire a subtle enhancement to their upper lip without the commitment of fillers. This treatment is perfect for individuals who notice their upper lip thinning or disappearing when they smile. Results are typically visible within a few days after the procedure and can last between two to five months. If you’re looking to boost your confidence with a natural-looking enhancement, book your Lip Flip appointment online with Glow Wellness Care today!

Pre- and Post-Care for Lip Flip
Pre-Treatment Care
To ensure a smooth and effective Lip Flip procedure, please follow these pre-care guidelines:
- Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners: Refrain from consuming alcohol or taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) for at least 24 hours before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Keep the Area Clean: Avoid applying makeup or skincare products to the lip and surrounding areas on the day of your treatment.
- Discuss Medical History: Inform your provider of any medical conditions, medications, or allergies to botulinum toxin to ensure the procedure is safe for you.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin and lips hydrated, which can help improve the treatment’s effectiveness.
- Plan Accordingly: Since results take a few days to appear, schedule your treatment well in advance of any special events.
Post-Treatment Care
After your Lip Flip treatment, proper aftercare can help optimize results and minimize side effects:
- Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Area: Refrain from rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Stay Upright: Avoid bending over or lying down for 4 hours post-treatment to prevent the botulinum toxin from migrating.
- Skip Exercise and Heat Exposure: Avoid strenuous physical activity, saunas, or hot baths for 24 hours to decrease the likelihood of swelling or bruising.
- Limit Alcohol and Blood Thinners: Continue avoiding these substances for another 24 hours after your treatment to promote healing.
- Be Patient with Results: Initial results may be visible within a few days, but the full effect typically develops after one to two weeks.
- Follow Provider Instructions: If your provider recommends any additional steps or precautions, be sure to follow them closely.

FAQs
How does Lip Flip differ from traditional lip fillers?
Lip Flip and lip fillers both aim to enhance the appearance of the lips, but they achieve this in different ways. The Lip Flip procedure involves injecting botulinum toxin to relax the muscles that surround the upper lip, causing it to “flip” outward and appear fuller. On the other hand, lip fillers involve injecting substances like hyaluronic acid directly into the lips to add volume. The result of a Lip Flip is a subtle, natural-looking enhancement, while fillers provide a more voluminous effect.
What should I expect in terms of the procedure duration for Lip Flip?
The Lip Flip is a relatively quick procedure. Typically, it takes about 10 to 20 minutes, making it convenient even for those with busy schedules.
Will the Lip Flip procedure cause any pain or discomfort?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the Lip Flip procedure. However, if you’re concerned about potential pain, we can apply a numbing cream to the area to ensure maximum comfort.
After undergoing the Lip Flip treatment, how soon can I expect to see noticeable results?
You can typically observe the effects of the Lip Flip within a few days post-procedure. The upper lip will appear subtly enhanced and more pronounced.
How long will the effects of the Lip Flip treatment last?
The results of the Lip Flip treatment are not permanent but can last between two to five months. The duration can vary based on individual factors, including metabolism and muscle activity.
Are there potential side effects associated with the Lip Flip procedure?
As with any cosmetic procedure, there might be minor side effects. Some patients might experience slight swelling or bruising at the injection site. However, these side effects are temporary and usually subside within 24-48 hours.
Can I combine the Lip Flip treatment with other cosmetic procedures?
Absolutely! Many of our patients choose to complement their Lip Flip with other treatments for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. It’s essential to discuss your aesthetic goals with our specialists at Glow Wellness Care to receive personalized recommendations tailored to your needs.
What kind of post-procedure care or downtime is required after a Lip Flip?
One of the advantages of the Lip Flip is the minimal downtime. After the procedure, you can immediately resume your normal activities. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.
