Upper Lip Botox
What Is Upper Lip Botox?
Upper lip Botox is a general term covering botulinum toxin treatments planned to balance the muscle movements that appear around the upper lip during expressions.
The upper lip area works intensively during speaking, smiling and pursing the lips, and over time lines or changes in position can appear.
Upper lip Botox aims to regulate these muscle movements in a controlled way.
Why Is Botox Considered for the Upper Lip Area?
Expression-related changes in the upper lip area can appear as:
- The upper lip curling inwards when smiling
- Vertical lines becoming visible around the upper lip
- A harsh or tired expression around the lips
These can change how a person’s facial expression is perceived.
Which Treatments Does Upper Lip Botox Include?
Upper lip Botox includes two main treatments aimed at different muscle movements around the lips:
Lip Flip Botox
Lip flip Botox aims to balance the muscle movement that causes the upper lip to curl inwards.
The goal is not to increase lip volume, but to make the upper lip more visible during expressions.
Barcode Lines Botox
Barcode lines Botox targets the vertical expression lines that form around the upper lip.
Over time, these lines may become noticeable even when you are not making an expression.
The aim is to support a softer appearance by balancing the muscle movements around the lips.
How Is Upper Lip Botox Planned?
Before the treatment:
- Expressions around the lips are assessed
- Which muscles the lines and movements are related to is analysed
- A personalised treatment plan is created
The approach may differ for each individual.
Natural Appearance and Patient Safety
The main goal of upper lip Botox is to regulate muscle balance without disrupting the natural flow of expressions.
The whole process is planned with facial anatomy in mind and with patient safety as the priority.
