Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.

Results vary by patient, but most Palo Alto providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Lip Flip series.

Filler adds physical volume inside the lip with hyaluronic acid gel. A lip flip adds nothing. A few units of Botox relax the orbicularis oris muscle at the upper lip border, letting the lip relax and roll slightly outward so more of it shows. Flip = subtle shape change, filler = real volume change. Many patients eventually combine both.

Usually just 4–10 units of Botox (or the Dysport equivalent) placed along the upper lip border. That's why it's one of the cheapest injectable treatments on any menu, often priced flat rather than per unit.

Shorter than most Botox treatments, typically 8–12 weeks. The lip muscle is active constantly (talking, eating, drinking), so it metabolizes the product faster than the forehead does.

For the first 1–2 weeks, some people notice mild weakness with straws, whistling, or pronouncing certain letters. It's temporary and dose-dependent. A conservative first dose minimizes it. If your work depends on your embouchure (wind musicians, for example), mention it; this treatment may not be for you.

Yes, it's a popular combination. The flip enhances the visible portion of the upper lip while filler adds volume and structure. Some injectors do both in one visit; others prefer to flip first, assess at two weeks, then fill.

The flip develops over 3–7 days as the Botox takes effect. Full result at about two weeks. Unlike filler, there's nothing visible immediately after the appointment except tiny injection points that settle within the hour.
