Lip flips have no impact on kissing, and your partner will not be able to feel any difference in the texture of your lips aside from the more “flipped out” lip position. Though any impact on oral sex will be extremely minimal, it may become a bit more difficult to cover your teeth with your lips.

Can someone tell you have lip fillers when kissing? Because your lips will retain their natural texture and softness a few days after injected, your fillers cannot be felt by you or your partner when kissing!
Although kissing won't ruin your results, it might feel painful. Plus, putting significant pressure on the lips can worsen side effects, such as bruising. In fact, the movement involved in pursing your lips alone can be uncomfortable at first.

Using a straw will put pressure on your new lip fillers and may cause some discomfort, since there will be swelling after the lip injections. Sucking on a straw may also be awkward to manage with swollen lips. All in all, it's best to drink water without a straw after treatment.
Possible Side Effects for Botox Lip Flip
It may affect your: whistling, speech, and or drinking. These only last a few days as your body adjusts for them, and also depends on how much your lip lifts as well.

Quality lip injectables mimic the lips' texture once they heal. After a few weeks, patients find that they aren't noticeable at all. Patients will still be able to enjoy the sensations of kissing, and it won't be different from before. People (including your partner) will also not notice the difference either.
And pink lip color was just behind that with 6.7 seconds out of the first 10. Fuller lips were also found to attract the eye for longer. Lead researcher Dr. Geoff Beattie says the study shows lips represent one of the most sensual aspects of a woman's body and play an important part in sexual attraction.
The upper lip's skin and the nose's base are very closely linked. As such, if a plastic surgeon doesn't have the appropriate skills or experience, a lip lift can distort the appearance of the nose, particularly the base and the nostrils. However, this only occurs when a lip lift is done poorly.

You should NEVER leave a tip for your PA/NP or nurse injector. Injectables are medications, just like a blood pressure pill or a thyroid medication. You would not tip your primary care provider for doing an EKG on you so no need to tip on our medical services either.
