Dr. Devgan is featured in the latest Harper’s Bazaar article as a medical expert discussing the latest in lip augmentations: the botox lip flip. Dr. Devgan is aboard-certified plastic surgeon and specializes in facial optimization. This new approach enhances the lips by using neuromodulators, like botox, rather than filler.
Dr. Devgan’s philosophy on injectables is that less is more. Today, there are less and less people requesting large and very enhanced lips, and more and more people requesting a subtle pout. The lip flip differs from the lip augmentation because rather than injecting directly into the lips, botox is injected at the corners of the mouth and near the Cupid’s bow. Dr. Devgan describes the idea of the lip flip as botox being used to “slightly soften some of the tensioned areas of the purse string” in order to cause “a little bit of relaxation of the pink-white border of the lip.” This is what causes the “vermilion border to flip out a little bit and give you a very subtle improvement in upper lip show.”
If the botox lip flip is something that interests you, make sure you see a board-certified professional, like Dr. Devgan, as the lip flips "involve highly strategic injections administered in teeny-tiny quantities.” If you go to the wrong person, you could experience immovable lips. This is a great treatment for someone who is interested in fuller lips before committing to lip filler.
