Candidate for botox lip flip? Can Botox in the lip muscle cause a protruded effect and bring forth the fullness? (photo)

Sometimes "better is the enemy of good enough". You have beautiful lips and you are correct in that the upper lip lift is not necessary. In order to create the effects that you want, a small amount of filler can be injected into the area called the white roll or lip border. Volbella is a good choice for this area. 

The Botox Lip Flip is more a marketing gimmick than it is an effective treatment. It does not work for everyone. Most people get it in combination with lip fillers and the improvement that is seen is mostly from the lip filler and not the Botox. If done by an inexperienced injector the risk of unwanted effects outweighs the benefits. Proceed with caution and make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician injector. Best wishes.

A video showing an injection is not the same as before and after photos showing results. There has been all sorts of breathy hype about the lip flip.  However when you really study the results, the vast majority of images out there claiming to demonstrate the lip flip, also have had lip edge filler. I don't doubt that there may be the rare individual with just the right lip anatomy there if you plop a tiny bit of botox in just the right place in the cupid's bow, the lip edge "flips." It is simply that there is zero documentation of this effect in an actual patient. That has not stopped docs from jumping on the hype of the lip flip.  I encourage you not to be taken in by this nonsense. Botox is really not helpful in the lip edge. It weakens the muscle that helps form a crisp lip edge. Many of the individuals who have had a so called lip flip demonstrate a flatted lip edge that actually looks older and not better.  Buyer beware!
