I lived in NY for a few years and my botox doctor recommended injecting the top part of my lip. It was only 4 or 5 units.. I trusted her opinion bc I didn’t know the difference...but here in SC, everyone is against it. They all have the same generic response or the complications.. I do think I saw a difference but I can’t tell for sure if it was lip filler.. also, where does botox need to go for brow lift? Is there anything around eyes to open them up??
Answer: Botox lip flip???? It sounds good, but you need to fully understand how Botox works. Before I take on a patient for Botox or Dysport treatment, I take some time to educate them on how it works. We look at a picture showing all the facial muscles and explain what each muscle does. By eliminating a muscle function in an area like the crows feet, the crows feet wrinkles disappear, but you also allow the forehead muscle to pull the tale of the brow up. same thing goes in the area between the eyebrows. By eliminating certain area function and leaving other areas untreated one can change certain features. For examples the brows can be elevated, and the corner of the mouth can be raised, as these facial elements maintain their position in balance between opposing forces. The best way to flip the lips is by using the appropriate filler in the border of the lips. Botox is used in small amount to help the vertical lip lines.

Answer: Lip flip and brow lift with Botox Hello and thank you for your question. The "lip flip" with Botox usually requires about 4-6 units right above the upper lip line. This technique can subtly help to give the upper lip a fuller appearance at rest, as well as when smiling by relaxing the muscles that curl the lip inward. It is not a dramatic difference, however taking before and after photos can show the improvement.To achieve a brow lift, I usually inject into two muscle groups, medially into the frontalis (forehead) muscle and a couple units in each of the orbicularis oculi muscles right at the tail of the eyebrow. Technique and precision are very important in achieving a successful brow lift and needs to be done by a professional. It is important to seek an experienced injector who specializes in facial aesthetics for best results. Good luck!

Answer: Botox “lip-flip” Possible? Botox or Fillers Reveal More Lip Vermillion Your dermatologist is expressing reluctance to do a lip flip with Botox because, if done incorrectly, it may interfere with the function of your lips. You need to find someone with a lot of experience in this procedure. Also, Botox might not be the best choice to reveal more of your upper vermillion (red part of lip). Hyaluronic-acid based fillers such as Restylane Silk, Volbella, Belotero and Juvederm can do a beautiful job of that. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has verifiable experience changing lip shape with Botox and fillers.

Answer: Botox or Filler to the Lips? Thank you for your detailed question and corresponding photos. I personally prefer to use filler to enhance the lip area, in my experience the filler can have just the same or an even better effect without impeding the movement of your lips, which is what can happen with Botox in the lip area. I do inject in the lip area if a patient is requesting it or to help improve perioral lines. For a brow lift with Botox, the crows feet and the forehead have to be expertly treated together to achieve a nice brow arch. I recommend seeing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon or expert injector in-person to discuss your concerns and goals. At our practice, we also provide consults via FaceTime or Skype for patients who live outside of NY. For more information, please visit our webpage.

Answer: Botox Lip Flip? Find a Real Expert to Use Botox Around Mouth I’m sorry you’re having trouble finding an expert to help you in South Carolina. Botox is great for a nonsurgical brow lift, which would open your eyes. Most doctors won’t want to use Botox around the mouth because it takes a very light hand and a real knowledge of anatomy. My office is in Charlotte, NC, and I’d be happy to consult with you by Skype. I hope this helps.
