Lip Flip with Cosmetic Connection

The anti wrinkle lip flip is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available today. The lip flip itself is very simple and quick, taking less than 2 minutes in our Sydney cosmetic clinic. It is a great conservative and cost-effective alternative to regular lip filler injections. The lip flip treatment relaxes the muscle surrounding your lips. This is the obicularis muscle that normally purses your lips. By relaxing this muscle, the size of your lips increases. Most people repeat their lip flip every 3 months.

At Cosmetic Connection, we’re experts in lip augmentations. We know how to achieve a result that aligns with your lip goals. We only use premium anti-wrinkle brands for lip flips. Our doctors and nurses at Cosmetic Connection in Sydney are highly qualified individuals and are experts in their field.

How Does a Lip Flip Procedure Work?

The anti wrinkle lip flip procedure involves injections around the lip border. We place anti-wrinkle injections into the orbicularis oris muscle of your lips. This relaxes the muscle, resulting in your top lip curling upwards. This gives your lips a fuller appearance, without looking fake. As an added bonus, the treatment can also smooth vertical lip lines.

People searching for a lip flip Sydney can look forward to a subtle pout and fuller lips when they smile. Its a great option for first-timers who aren’t ready for lip fillers, or those with full lips who just want slightly more volume without the risk of lip filler migration.

The Benefits of Lip Flip Treatments

If you’re seeking to achieve fuller and plumper lips but aren’t ready for dermal fillers, check out our lip flip treatment. A lip flip is a great way to experience fuller-looking lips with now downtime. It’s also more affordable than lip filler treatments, and achieves more conservative result.

Another benefit of the lip flip Sydney treatment is that it softens vertical lip wrinkles. The lines are also known as lipstick/barcode/smoker’s lines. One of the more common reasons we perform lip flip treatments is to help people whose upper lip disappears when smiling.

The lip flip treatment gives fuller lips by flipping the upper lip upwards. It also stops your upper lip curling inwards and stopping the upper lip from turning inwards and disappearing on smiling.

Choosing A Lip Flip Over Regular Lip Injections

Standard lip filler injections involve injecting hyaluronic acid to plump your lips. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that exists in your skin. Once injected, lip filler creates definition and increases the volume of your lips. This gives a fuller lip.

Lip flips are growing in popularity as they only create the illusion of fuller lips without actually adding the volume. We use muscle relaxing injections to reduce the upper lip strength. This flips your lip outwards for a fuller look, without changing the volume.

A lip flip procedure is faster, safer, and more cost-effective compared to dermal fillers. The treatment also has no downtime, and essentially no swelling and bruising. It is a good first line treatment for people who want to augment their lips, but who aren’t ready for lip fillers.
