A lip flip typically lasts between 2 to 4 months (about 8 to 12 weeks), with some variation depending on individual factors. Most people experience results lasting around three to four months, and in some cases, the effects can last up to five or six months. The lip flip effect gradually wears off as the botulinum toxin used in the procedure loses effectiveness. Regular touch-ups can maintain the look over time.
Duration Details
- Average duration is about 2 to 4 months.
- Some sources note effects can last as little as 8 weeks and up to 6 months depending on metabolism, age, and muscle activity.
- Compared to lip fillers that last longer (6 to 12 months), a lip flip offers a subtler, temporary enhancement.
- The upper lip muscles are very active, which may cause the botox effect to wear off quicker in this area than others.
Key Points About Lip Flip Longevity
- Results develop after a few days (up to a week) post-injection.
- The procedure relaxes muscles to "flip" the upper lip outward, not adding volume but enhancing shape.
- Because effects are temporary, maintenance treatments every few months are common for continuing results.
This timeframe makes lip flips a popular choice for those seeking a short- term, natural enhancement without committing to longer-lasting fillers or more invasive procedures.
