Usually between 6-15 units are injected into each muscle. For more resistant cases, often filler is used in combination to achieve the desired result.
The Botox lip flip involves injecting 4-6 units of Botox above the upper lip at the center (near the cupid's bow) and near the corners of the mouth.
Both Botox and Dysport are excellent for achieving your dream lips through a lip flip.
Patients can expect up to 10 units of Botox with every Botox lip flip to achieve the full, maximum volume look. Compared to other Botox procedures in the face, that's not too much Botox, making the Botox flip one of the more affordable and quicker Botox treatments.
On average, your healthcare provider will insert about two to four units of Botox into your upper lip and two units into your lower lip.
A lip flip involves injecting a type of abobotulinumtoxin A, such as Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau, into the top lip. The goal is to relax the orbicularis oris muscle, which helps form and shape the lips. The injection encourages the top lip to relax and “flip” outwards, giving the subtle illusion of a fuller lip.
Lip Flip's last around 3-6 months, just like your normal Botox or Dysport treatment would! Most clients see results within a few days to a week. The is considered an “off-label” procedure and results can vary patient to patient.

Botox around the lips provides a very subtle change and is usually used in combination with fillers in the lips. Furthermore, 20 units is too high a dose in this area. When such a high dose is used complications include difficulty closing the mouth, eating, drinking, and an asymmetric smile.
On average 25 units of Botox will give your skin by your glabellar a full correction and will remove the 11 lines. The '11 lines' are the glabellar lines in between your eyes and eyebrows.
Most people need about 40 units of Botox or 100 units of Dysport. When used around the eyes, the glabella, and the forehead, this amount inhibits movement enough for lines to disappear, but not so much that you look frozen. Some people need a little more.
Dysport is an injectable similar to Botox. It temporarily relaxes the muscle and rolls the upper lip outwards, resulting in a fuller and plumper appearance. Botox and Dysport both are equally beneficial procedures. They amplify the natural shape of lips.
Botox vs.
Dysport costs $4 per unit. While cheaper than Botox, it typically it takes twice as many units of Dysport to achieve the same result.
50 units is typically less than what most patients would use for the forehead and the 11s. Most patients can handle 50 units of dysport just at the glabella (the 11s between the eyebrows).
Dr. Fechner frequently employs DYSPORT® to soften unattractive vertical wrinkles involving the upper lip and around the mouth. In addition the eyebrows can be elevated and relaxing the platysma muscle of the neck can treat unsightly neckbands.
On average, a Dysport injection will last for about three to four months, while a Botox treatment can last from four to six. While both of them use the same neurotoxin to prevent folds and lines from forming in the skin, they do have minor differences that can affect how long they last.
Answer: Can there be permanent damage from Dysport or Botox? No, As long as you are receiving the "real stuff" ( not bootleg products), and performed by a reputable well trained doc you shouldn't have any problem. The effects are temporary but last about 3-4 months on average.
Lip flip results are temporary and last about 8 weeks. The effect wears off quicker than other areas where Botox is injected because the amount of Botox used is necessarily small and the lip muscles are particularly active.
Most Dysport® treatments last for around three to four months before wearing off. However, you may notice the effects of the treatment wearing off before this average amount of time in some cases.
It typically takes about 4 weeks for the filler to settle in and achieve the final, desired look. The results will typically last about 6 months.
Lip Flip Treatment Recovery
Patients should avoid exercise for the remainder of the day and avoid sleeping face down that night. For a few hours after treatment, patients can expect to have a small bump at the site of injection.
