Lip Flip In Poughkeepsie, NY & Danbury, CT

Introduction

Introduction to Lip Flip

At Tania Cohen Dermatology, we are proud to offer the lip flip in both Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT. This non-surgical treatment is ideal for patients seeking a subtle enhancement to their lips without adding volume. Using precise injections of BOTOX, a Lip Flip gently relaxes the muscles around the mouth, creating the illusion of a fuller, more defined upper lip. Many patients choose this option as a quick, effective way to achieve a naturally enhanced smile.

What is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a cosmetic injectable procedure that uses small amounts of BOTOX to relax the muscles around the upper lip. This relaxation causes the lip to roll slightly upward, exposing more of the natural pink lip tissue and giving the appearance of greater fullness. Unlike lip fillers, which add volume with dermal products, a lip flip works by subtly altering muscle movement.

This treatment is popular among patients seeking a more natural look or those who want to enhance their lips without committing to fillers. At Tania Cohen Dermatology, we carefully assess your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to deliver results that complement your features.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Lip Flip?

The lip flip is ideal for patients who:

  • Want a subtle enhancement to their natural lips
  • Feel their upper lip disappear when they smile
  • Prefer a treatment that doesn’t add volume with fillers
  • Want to improve lip symmetry or definition
  • Are looking for a non-surgical, quick procedure

Candidates should be in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of treatment. During your consultation, we will help determine whether a lip flip is the right choice or if fillers or a combination of treatments may better suit your needs.

What Are the Benefits of a Lip Flip?

Patients in Poughkeepsie and Danbury choose the lip flip for several reasons:

  • Creates the appearance of a fuller upper lip without added volume
  • Enhances the shape of the lip line and improves smile balance
  • Provides subtle, natural-looking results
  • Short treatment time, often completed in less than 15 minutes
  • No downtime or lengthy recovery period
  • Cost-effective alternative to fillers

With proper care, results typically last about 8–12 weeks, making it a great option for those new to cosmetic injectables.

What’s the First Step?

The first step toward a lip flip at Tania Cohen Dermatology is scheduling a private consultation in our Poughkeepsie, NY, or Danbury, CT office. During this visit, we will discuss your cosmetic goals, review your medical history, and assess your facial anatomy. If you are a good candidate, we can often perform the treatment during the same appointment.

This is also the time to ask questions and explore whether additional procedures, such as lip fillers or wrinkle relaxers, may help you achieve your ideal look.

What to Expect on the Day of a Lip Flip Treatment

On the day of your lip flip, your provider will begin by cleansing the treatment area. A topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort, though most patients find the injections very tolerable.

The procedure itself takes just a few minutes. Tiny amounts of BOTOX are injected into precise points around the upper lip. You may notice some mild swelling or small bumps at the injection sites, but these typically fade within a few hours. Patients can return to work or social activities immediately.

Lip Flip Recovery

Recovery from a lip flip is minimal compared to many other cosmetic procedures. Some patients may experience slight swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site, but this typically resolves within 24–48 hours. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying flat, or applying pressure to the treated area for the first few hours.

Results typically begin to show within 3–5 days, with full effects visible in about 10–14 days. You can expect your results to last around 2–3 months before a touch-up appointment may be needed.

How Much Does a Lip Flip Cost in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT?

The cost of a lip flip at Tania Cohen Dermatology will vary depending on your individual treatment plan, the number of units required, and whether you combine it with other injectables. On average, patients find the lip flip to be more affordable than dermal fillers, making it a popular entry point for cosmetic enhancements.

During your consultation, we will provide a detailed breakdown of the cost and discuss available options for ongoing maintenance treatments.
