Will excess skin after lip flip resolve after Botox has completely worn off?

The effects of Botox are temporary. Your lips will return to their pre-treatment appearance when the product wears off. This typically occurs gradually over three to four months.

Hi, thank you for your question. Botox is temporary and a lip flip should have little permanent effect on your skin. In this particular picture, I cannot see what you’re referring to. But you have 5 options. 1- continue waiting a couple of months and re-evaluate, your opinion may change after all residual neurotoxin has worn off. The toxin can affect different areas of the muscle differentially so any laxity or irregularity may change when your body normalizes. 2-repeat the procedure, if you liked it you could expect a similar result. 3- you could consider filler which can add a bit if volume and disguise excess skin. 4- consider a skin tightening procedure. In my office I have several but one is radiofrequency microneedling which stimulates collagen and can tighten the skin. Lastly if skin excess is significant, a surgical lip lift where a narrow segment of excess skin is removed below your nose, could be could be considered. Which option is best for you is dependent on a personal in person evaluation and also your own preferences.
