Facial Botox
Overview
A lip flip uses a very low dose in the orbicularis oris muscle at the border of the upper lip, causing it to roll slightly outward. The lip therefore appears fuller without any volume being added.
It is ideal for patients who do not want filler but feel their upper lip looks thin. Combined with lip filler it delivers a more defined and balanced result.

Who Is It For?

03
The treatment
After topical anaesthetic cream, the treatment is completed with ultra-fine insulin needles.

Day-10 review
We assess the result together and perform a complimentary touch-up if there is any asymmetry or under-correction.
