Lip Botox is an aesthetic medicine treatment designed to subtly and naturally improve the shape and expression of the upper lip, without actually increasing the lip’s real volume.

At Bloome, we use this technique to harmonize the smile, soften muscle tension, and achieve the visual effect of more defined, relaxed lips.

Unlike filler treatments, Botox in the lips acts on the muscle, not on volume, so the result is discreet and very natural.

What does Botox in the lips involve?

Lip Botox consists of applying small amounts of botulinum toxin to very specific points—mainly in the upper lip—to slightly relax the muscle responsible for the lip’s curvature and movement. You can also explore all the facial Botox treatments we offer at the clinic: Botox for the glabella, crow’s feet, forehead Botox, Botox for gummy smile, and more. Also Botox for men.

When we talk about lips with Botox or lip Botox, we mean a treatment that improves the lip’s position and definition—not an increase in size.

Difference between lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid and a lip flip with Botox

It’s important to distinguish two very different treatments:

• Hyaluronic acid adds volume and projection.

• A lip flip with Botox relaxes the upper lip muscle so it “rolls” slightly outward.

Botox does not fill or enlarge the lip—it improves its visibility when smiling.

How Botox acts on the upper lip to create the effect of more volume

Upper lip Botox works by relaxing the orbicularis oris muscle, allowing the lip to lift and show more of the red lip surface. This creates an optical effect of greater volume without changing the lip’s structure.

Benefits of lip Botox

Lip Botox offers very specific benefits when properly indicated.

Natural enhancement of the upper lip without increasing true volume

The main benefit is subtle lip enhancement while maintaining a very natural look.

Improvement of a mild gummy smile and relaxation of the orbicularis muscle

Botox can help reduce a mild gummy smile and soften muscle tension around the mouth.

Who a Botox lip flip is ideal for

It’s indicated for people who:

• Want more lip definition without adding volume

• Are looking for a discreet result

• Do not want fillers

Areas where Botox is applied in the lips

The treatment is always planned on an individual basis.

Lip flip in the upper lip: goal and technique

The lip Botox technique focuses on the upper lip, applying strategic micro-doses to achieve a natural, controlled effect.

Softening vertical lip lines (“smoker’s lines”) when Botox is appropriate

In certain specific cases, Botox can help soften fine lines around the lip—always after a medical assessment.

Lip Botox results: when they appear and how long they last

One of the most common questions is when results become visible.

First visible changes between 3 and 5 days

The first “before and after” effects usually start to appear between days 3 and 5, progressively.

Full result between 10 and 14 days

The final result is seen between 10 and 14 days, when the muscle is fully relaxed.

Typical duration: between 2 and 4 months due to high lip mobility

Because the lips are constantly moving, the effect typically lasts between 2 and 4 months.

Lip Botox before and after

Lip Botox before and after usually shows subtle, natural changes.

What to expect before: assessment of the lip, smile, and patient goals

Before treatment, the lip anatomy, the smile, and the patient’s expectations are evaluated to define the best technique.

Typical results after: a more defined upper lip and a more harmonious smile

After treatment, the upper lip looks more defined and the smile more balanced, without stiffness.

Price of lip Botox

Lip Botox pricing may vary depending on each case. At Bloome, prices start from €290.

Factors that influence the price: technique, dose, and the professional performing it

Factors include:

• Amount of product used

• Complexity of the technique

• Personalized medical assessment

Aftercare following lip Botox

Following medical recommendations is key to a good result.

What to avoid: heat, intense exercise, massage, or pressure on the area

During the first 24 hours, it is recommended to avoid:

• Intense heat

• Intense physical exercise

• Pressing or massaging the area

Tips to maintain natural results and avoid discomfort

Good hydration and following medical guidance help prolong the effect.

Risks and side effects of lip Botox

The treatment is safe when performed correctly.

Mild and temporary effects: slight difficulty blowing, drinking with a straw, or pronouncing certain letters

Some patients may temporarily notice mild functional difficulty, which disappears within a few days.

Who should administer Botox in the lips?

The perioral area requires maximum precision.
