Botox Lips is a very popular cosmetic dermatological procedure that is commonly performed to address various cosmetic concerns around the lips using botulinum toxin injections. The appearance of wrinkles around the lips is a common sign of aging that can occur due to a multitude of reasons. And while they are not of any medical concern, they can become a cosmetic concern for some people. Such lines are typically more pronounced in people who smoke often or due to repetitive movement of the lips while performing actions such as sipping. Some of the most common uses of Botox Lips include:

A botox procedure for lips is a cosmetic procedure that can be performed to address various cosmetic concerns involving the lips. In most cases, patients undergo a botox treatment to enhance their lips and make them appear larger. However, you may wish to get a lip procedure for different cosmetic goals. These usually include:
Pre-procedural preparations for Botox Lips is a simple stage that is prepared by your dermatologist to ensure a hassle-free procedure and minimal chances of any complications. Before your Botox treatment, you must follow these instructions as closely as possible.
A Botox Lips is a fairly simple procedure that isn’t very invasive. The whole procedure is performed using very thin needles. Anesthesia or any other pain management agent is usually not required for Botox treatment for the lips. However, if you are concerned about pain or stinging sensation, ask your healthcare provider if they could apply a numbing cream or nerve block injection on your lips.
Once the lips are anesthetised and lips are cleaned using an anti-bacterial agent, the procedure will begin. Your dermatologist will use a thin needle (about 31-32 gauge) to inject a small amount of Botox in parts of your upper lip. This also includes the corners of your mouth and the edges of your lips. On average, a Botox lips treatment utilizes 2 to 4 units of Botox in the upper lip and 2 units of Botox in the lower lip. If you don’t use any numbing agent, you can expect to have a stinging sensation around the injection sites. However, this is usually manageable.Â
Once the pre-determined amount of Botox has been injected, your dermatologist will use a cotton swab to absorb any dots of blood around the injection sites. The results after Botox treatment are not apparent immediately, and it usually takes 1 to 3 days to the toxin to settle in and take effect. During this 3-day period, your dermatologist will give you some simple instructions on how to maximize results and avoid the toxin from spreading to other locations.

When performed by an experienced and qualified dermatologist, Botox is a completely safe procedure with almost negligible risk of any complications. However, as is the case with any other procedure, you may experience mild side effects after the procedure. These usually include:
These side effects usually do not require any medical attention and should subside on their own in a few days after treatment. But if they continue to persist or worsen over time, you must consult with your healthcare provider. It is also imperative that you seek medical attention if you begin experiencing:
Botox injections are usually priced per unit. In India, the average cost of 1 unit of Botox can range anywhere from Rs. 400 to Rs. 500. This means that if you receive 2 to 4 units of Botox (which is typical for Botox lips treatment), the overall cost of your procedure can start from Rs. 800 and go as high as Rs. 2000. It is to be noted, however, that depending on a multitude of factors, the exact cost of your Botox procedure will likely vary. The factors include:
Botox or Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin that, when injected ito the lips, helps them relax. As a result, the top lip will curl ort “flip” upward and lenghten your upper lip to make it appear larger without adding any actual volume.Â
Botox is not a permanent procedure and over time, its effects start to fade. In most cases, the results after Botox Lips can last anywhere from 2 to 5 months. After this period, you will need to repeat the procedure to maintain your results.
Certain studies regarding the use of Botox during pregnancy show that there are no adverse effects of Botox on the fetus. However, the data on use of Botox during pregnancy is still limited, and there is no conclusive answer to the question. If you are considering undergoing a Botox treatment during pregnancy, it is best to consult with your gynecologist first.
Botox is a non-invasive procedure and there’s almost no recovery period associated with it. In fact, you will be able to return to your daily tasks just a few hours after the treatment. However, it can take 1 to 3 days for the toxin to settle in and take effect.
Although fairly uncommon, Botox can spread to unintended parts of the body. If you follow any of the following symptoms after your Botox treatment, contact your healthcare provider immediately:
Typically, the botulinum toxin administered for the lips takes at least 24 to 72 hours to settle in. After this period, you can expect to see full and visible results just 7 to 10 days after the treatment.
Generally, it is completely safe for people to undergo Botox lips treatment once every 3 to 6 months. However, depending on your overall health and reaction to the toxin, frequency and effectiveness may vary. Prior to your treatment, it is best to consult with your dermatologist about the same.Â
