Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Subtle Lip Flip (Tox).

Most clients notice subtle changes within two to four days, with full effect around two weeks. Results commonly last about two to three months, though individual metabolism varies. We recommend follow-up at three to four months to determine ideal maintenance.

Not when performed by an experienced injector. The lip flip uses minimal units to relax targeted muscles for a slight outward roll, preserving natural movement and expression. We customize dosage and placement to avoid a frozen appearance while enhancing lip shape.

A lip flip relaxes the orbicularis oris to slightly evert the upper lip, enhancing shape without adding volume. Fillers add projection and fullness. Lip flips offer a subtler, faster option with minimal swelling and shorter recovery compared to injectable volumizers.

Downtime is minimal. Most people resume normal activities immediately, though mild swelling or small bruises can appear for a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise, facial massage, and alcohol for twenty-four hours. Follow aftercare instructions to reduce any temporary side effects.

Ideal candidates want a subtle upper lip lift without added volume — people with a thin upper lip, mild gummy smile, or upper lip downturned at rest. Good overall health and realistic expectations are required; pregnant or neuromuscular-condition patients should avoid treatment.

Pricing varies by units used and individualized treatment plan. Typical fees range from $125 to $350 per session, depending on provider and region. We offer a consult to determine exact cost and any package or maintenance discounts to suit your goals.
