Lips
A small neuromodulator dose along the upper lip to show a little more pink without adding filler volume.
Overview
What is Lip fill?
Lip fill is performed with Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, or Xeomin — we choose the product for your anatomy, history, and how you want to move. A few units along the upper-lip muscle can roll the lip slightly outward so more vermilion shows when you smile.
This is mapped to this area rather than a full-face default. The goal is a specific change, not a frozen face.

Treatment details
Areas & what to expect
This treatment
The orbicularis oris along the upper lip. This is not lip filler and will not add volume on its own.
Your visit
Your provider reviews goals and movement, then maps injection points before cleansing the skin. Small amounts are placed with a fine needle; most visits take 15–20 minutes.
Avoid rubbing or lying flat for several hours, and skip strenuous exercise the rest of the day. We typically see you back around two weeks if a refinement is needed.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this treatment — your provider will cover anything specific to you at consultation.
How is a lip flip different from a regular Botox visit?
A lip flip uses a few units in the upper-lip muscle. Filler adds gel volume. Many patients use one or the other — not automatically both.
How long does it last?
Most patients see about three to four months of effect. Consistent treatment makes maintenance more predictable; it does not make results permanent.
Will I look frozen?
Not if we dose for this area and your movement. We preserve expression on purpose and would rather add units at a two-week follow-up than overdo the first visit.
