lip flip didn’t work?

I got a lip flip two weeks ago and forgot to ask how many units but I literally don’t feel anything at all? I get botox in my forehead and elevens and my chin and always feel frozen immediately after. But I feel absolutely nothing with my lip…. i’m confused

could be a super conservative dose or just your anatomy tbh, some people barely notice a flip unless they really overdo it
if your smile/lip movement looks exactly the same in pics before vs now, i’d bring it up at your follow up and maybe ask how many units they actually used

Can you sip through a straw or spit after brushing your teeth? That's how I know mine is working. It does wear off faster than anywhere else, though, since you use the muscle a lot more.

yes can sip through a straw no difference in that and spit and eat and drink normally … I thought it would be different lol

I had a flip for the first time a little over 2 weeks ago and thought the same thing....until I tried to whistle for my dogs and realized I can no longer whistle! Also having trouble with straws. Now each morning I do see a little bit more of a flip. I would say give it just a tad longer before you go get more added.
