Introduction to Lip Flip
A. Brief Description of Lip Flip
Lip flipping is a cosmetic treatment you may not have heard of, but it’s taking Melbourne by storm. Unlike the more-common Lip Flip , a lip flip gives your smile a subtle enhancement that lifts the lip’s edges, giving you a fuller look. It’s not surgery, but an injection-based procedure using anti-wrinkle products.
B. Rise of Lip Flip in Melbourne
I’ve observed Melbourne’s love for cosmetic trends and lips have always been a focus. With this city’s passion for staying ahead of the trends, it’s no surprise that the Lip Flip is surging in popularity. Why? It’s more affordable and less painful than lip fillers with results that clients tend to love. However, please be mindful that all procedures carry risks including pain and although it is more affordable, it typically lasts less than lip filler;therefore, you’ll need to consider maintenance cost.
C. How it Differs from Traditional Lip Fillers
Lip flip and lip fillers do share a common goal: changing the shape of your lips. However, they’re as different as apples and oranges. Fillers add volume by pumping up your lips with substances like hyaluronic acid. On the other hand, a lip flip relaxes the muscles around your top lip, turning the edges slightly upward.
Understanding the Procedure
A. Initial Consultation
Here’s the first step to your lip flip procedure: a thorough consultation. Your provider will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and objectively analyse if a lip flip is the best fit for you. You know what they say, communication is key!
B. The Procedure Process
Using a fine needle, the provider injects a small amount of anti-wrinkle into muscles around your upper lip. This relaxes the muscles, allowing the lip to flip upward. In about 20 minutes, your appointment is done.
C. Post-Treatment Care
Once the procedure is done, you’ll be advised to avoid makeup, excessive heat, and strenuous exercise for about 24 hours.
Benefits of Lip Flip
A. Less Invasive Compared to Lip Filler
The Lip Flip is just a series of small injections, making it significantly less invasive than other cosmetic treatments.
B. Procedure Time
The injection itself takes no more than 5 minutes when compared to lip fillers.
Potential Risks and Side Effects
A. Common Side Effects
Clients may experience some soreness, swelling bruising and redness around the injection site.
B. Rare but Serious Complications
On rare occasions, if the anti-wrinkle spreads into unintended muscles, it can cause an asymmetric smile. Infection is another rare risk that could occur.

Realistic Expectations and Results
A. Understanding the Limitations of the Procedure
This is not going to dramatically alter your lips and add volume and turn them into something else. Lip Flips subtly enhance your lip. It’s essential to keep realistic expectations in mind before going ahead with the procedure.
B. Average Lifespan of the Procedure’s Effects
Lip flip doesn’t last a lifetime. Understanding that the results are temporary, typically around 2-3 months is crucial to making an informed decision about undergoing the procedure and the ongoing associated cost.
