Botox lip flip and teeth whitening

It is generally recommended to avoid any dental procedures or treatments involving the mouth for at least 24 hours after receiving a Botox lip flip. This is to allow the Botox to fully settle and reduce the risk of any complications.

However, if you are planning to wear a mouth retractor during the whitening treatment, it is best to wait at least 48 hours after the Botox lip flip to ensure that the muscles around the lips have fully relaxed and the lip flip has taken effect.

It is important to discuss your treatment plan and concerns with your dentist and your Botox injector to ensure that both treatments can be done safely and effectively without interfering with each other. They may be able to offer additional guidance or recommendations based on your individual circumstances.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Normally, these two things have no interaction with one another. I recommend following up with your doctor for pre-and-after care questions, instructions, and concerns about the procedure you're interested in having. If you believe you are having a complication it is best to seek help as soon as you can. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question. You are safe to have you teeth whitening 6 hours after the Botox injections. Enjoy your vacation!

Usually toxin products are absorbed into the muscle within minutes. At 48 hours you should be safe to have your teeth whitening procedure.

Yes, botox is typically absorbed into the muscle two hours post injection. Wearing a mouth retractor should not affect your botox results 48hr post injection.

Thanks for the question. While, I would have my patients rest the day of the injections-- no heavy lifting, bending, strenuous exercise-- 48 hours is enough down time to wear a mouth retractor for whitening. Have a nice vacation.

It should be fine for you to have your teeth whitening treatment 48 hours after your lip flip touch up. Patients can return to normal activities 24 hours after Botox injections. Have fun on your vacation!
