A “lip flip” is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure using a small amount of botulinum toxin injected into the muscles around the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles, allowing the lip to “flip” slightly outward, creating the appearance of increased fullness. Observing the subtle changes in lip appearance following this procedure over time allows for an assessment of its effectiveness and the progression toward the desired aesthetic outcome. This daily monitoring can also help identify any potential side effects early.
Tracking post-procedure changes provides valuable information for both the practitioner and the patient. Documentation of the gradual evolution of lip shape contributes to a better understanding of the treatment’s effects and can inform future treatment strategies. For patients, observing these daily changes can manage expectations and offer reassurance during the process. This meticulous observation contributes significantly to the overall satisfaction with the procedure.
