What a lip flip costs
A lip flip uses only a few units, so it’s one of the most affordable neurotoxin treatments. It’s priced per unit; see the neurotoxin pricing guide and this month’s special. Araceli confirms your dose and price at your free consultation.
How long it lasts
Because the dose is small and the lips move constantly, a lip flip wears off faster than forehead tox, usually in about six to eight weeks, sometimes up to three months. Many people repeat it a few times a year or before events.
What to expect afterward
For the first few days, drinking through a straw, whistling or pronouncing some sounds may feel slightly different. That’s normal and settles as you adjust. Follow the 4-hour rule and avoid pressing on your lips that day.
Lip flip or lip filler?
Choose a flip for subtle definition with no added volume; choose filler for volume, shape, hydration and longer results. Our lip flip vs lip filler guide compares them side by side.
Thinking about a longer-lasting change? A surgical lip lift is a different procedure that permanently shortens the space between nose and lip. It’s offered by Dr. John F. Burnett, MD, in the same suite.
