Whether you’re looking for volume, definition, or a more harmonious smile, we offer three tailored treatment options: Lip Filler, Lip Flip, and Gummy Smile Correction. Each treatment is designed to address different aesthetic goals—sometimes individually, sometimes beautifully combined. ## Lip Filler: Volume, Shape & Definition **Best for:** Patients wanting plumper lips, more symmetry, or enhanced lip borders. **What it is:** Lip filler involves the precise injection of hyaluronic acid (HA)–based dermal fillers into targeted areas of the lips. This treatment can add volume, improve symmetry, define the vermillion border, and smooth fine lines around the mouth. ### Benefits of Lip Filler    #### Instantly enhances lip volume and shape  #### Can correct asymmetry or unevenness  #### Long-lasting results (typically 6–12 months)  #### Fully customizable—subtle to full pout ### Who It's Ideal For    #### Individuals who want a more dramatic or noticeable change  #### Those seeking a balanced, proportionate lip shape  #### Patients wanting to smooth perioral lines (“smoker’s lines”) ## Lip Flip: Subtle Lift & Enhanced Shape **Best for:** Patients wanting a slight “flip” of the upper lip without adding volume. **What it is:** A Lip Flip involves injecting a small amount of neuromodulator (such as Botox® or Dysport®) into the upper lip muscle. This relaxes the muscle just enough to allow the lip to gently roll outward, creating the appearance of a fuller lip—without filler. ## Lip Flip: Subtle Lift & Enhanced Shape **Best for:** Patients wanting a slight “flip” of the upper lip without adding volume. **What it is:** A Lip Flip involves injecting a small amount of neuromodulator (such as Botox® or Dysport®) into the upper lip muscle. This relaxes the muscle just enough to allow the lip to gently roll outward, creating the appearance of a fuller lip—without filler. ### Benefits of Lip Flip    #### Enhances the upper lip shape without added volume  #### Softens a “gummy” appearance when smiling  #### Quick procedure with minimal downtime  #### Great entry point for those new to injectables ### Who It's Ideal For    #### Clients seeking a subtle enhancement rather than volume  #### Those who want their natural lip to appear more defined  #### People who may not be ready for filler but want a refreshed look ## Gummy Smile Correction: Harmonize Your Smile **Best for: **Patients whose upper gums show prominently when smiling. **What it is:** Using neuromodulators, we relax the muscles that cause the upper lip to lift excessively when you smile.

It relies on Botox injections and allows the inner portion of the upper lip to “flip” outward and upward, enhancing your lip’s appearance. ##### How long does Lip Flip take? This quick, in-office cosmetic procedure only takes about 10 to 20 minutes. Your practitioner simply injects Botox into your Cupid’s bow (the middle of your upper lip) and the corners of your mouth. ##### How does Lip Flip work? You will receive three Botox injections – one in the “Cupid’s bow” region of your upper lip (the center), and one in each corner of the mouth. The injections relax the muscle in those spots, allowing the inner portion of the upper lip to flip, or roll, outward and make your lips look fuller. ##### Is Lip Flip a filler treatment? A lip flip is not a filler treatment. A Botox lip flip subtly makes your lips look fuller, while a filler physically makes them fuller. The lip flip relaxes a set of muscles. The dermal filler fills your lips with substances like hyaluronic acid. ##### Is there a recovery period? Like most Botox procedures, there is no real recovery period with a lip flip. Once the appointment is over, you’ll be able to return to your routine immediately. Note that there may be some minor swelling immediately after the injection, but this usually resolves within a few hours or a day at the most. ##### Are their side effects or risks to the Lip Flip? **Recovery:** Lip flips require no recovery time. You can get back to work or play as soon as you like. **Results:** These will show up within a few days and continue to improve for several more days. You’ll see the full effect **approximately 10 to 14 days after the procedure**. Results last around 2 to 3 months. To maintain these results, you’ll need additional Botox injections. (If you’re looking for something more permanent, Botox injectables last around a year.) **Risks:** Lip flips are considered a safe, low-risk procedure. Minor bruising or swelling may occur at the injection site. If too much Botox is injected, it may cause your lips to relax too much and make it hard to close them. The effect is similar to what happens when a dentist numbs your mouth. You could have: - difficulty forming certain words - drooling - the inability to spit or whistle - one side of your mouth drooping (similar to the appearance of a stroke) - trouble keeping fluids in your mouth after drinking That’s why it’s essential you find a trained provider who has experience performing Botox lip flips. ##### Am I a good candidate for Lip Flip? Most people are good candidates for this procedure, but you are particularly well suited if you want fuller lips without going through a surgical procedure, or if you feel that your upper lip thins too much when you smile. If you feel that your smile shows too much of your upper gum, then this may also be the right treatment for you. ##### What is a gummie smile? A gummy smile, defined by an excessive display of gum tissue in comparison to the norm, often causes individuals to feel self-conscious, potentially resulting in low self-esteem and related concerns. Correctly addressing a gummy smile not only enhances one's appearance but also significantly elevates confidence levels. ##### Is the procedure painful? No. Most clients describe it as a slight pinch. The treatment is quick and requires no anesthesia. Discomfort is minimal and temporary. ##### How long does BOTOX last for gummie smile correction? The results typically last 3 to 4 months. With regular maintenance treatments, you can enjoy consistent, natural-looking results. ##### Will the treatment make my smile look unnatural? No, not at all. At Vytality Wellness & Mecical Aesethetics, we take a conservative approach and target only the muscles involved in lip elevation. Your smile should be natural and expressive. ##### How soon will I see results? You may start to notice a difference within 3 to 5 days, with full results typically visible in about 1 to 2 weeks. ##### Are their side effects to the Lip Flip? Adverse effects are generally minor and could encompass transient bruising, swelling, or subtle asymmetry in lip contour. These issues usually resolve within one to two weeks. ##### Is there downtime after treatment? There’s no significant downtime. You can return to your normal activities right after your appointment, though we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours. ##### Is the Gummie Smile treatment for everyone? Most adulst in good health are candidates for the gummie smile treatment. However, we'll evaluate your smile and medical history during your consultation. Everyone's situation is different and some may be better suited for dental or medical procedures.  ## Injectables & Enhancements Vytality Wellness & Medical Aesthetics Book Your Visit ## Vytality-Wellness & Medical Aesthetics Every client deserves a personalized path to confidence.
