I got a Botox ‘lip flip’ for my gummy smile, here’s how it went
It’s a subtle alternative to dermal filler. But is it actually worth it?
There’s a part of the female experience that compels us to act carefree while also caring a lot. It’s feeling the need to say you “just got a trim” when you spent the last week meticulously planning and strategically moodboarding your next haircut. It’s spending an exorbitant amount of time perfecting a ‘no-makeup makeup look’, hoping no one will notice you’re wearing foundation. And it’s exhausting!
For the better half of my teenage years, it felt like being ‘cool’ was synonymous with being ‘effortlessly hot’. Before every event (basement party or school disco), I messaged at least three of my friends asking for their outfit rundowns. I feared comments like “Wow, you’re so dressed up!” and “I could never wear that much makeup”. I wanted to look and feel beautiful without anyone noticing.
We like nosy people. Don’t be shy, head to our Beauty section for more.
To sum it up best, I can only point to Gone Girl’s Amy Dunne and her beloved ‘cool girl monologue’. And as I got older, I very quickly realised I had no interest in pretending not to care. I loved investing time and money into my appearance; spending hours copying a Youtube makeup tutorial in my bathroom mirror. I’ll admit, it wasn’t always coming from a healthy place but for the most part, it made me happy.

After much internal deliberation, I’ve decided that’s how I feel about medical ‘enhancements’. If it’s coming from a healthy place, it will make me happy and I can afford it, I don’t see why not. My gummy smile and disappearing top lip have bothered me forever. When I heard about the Botox ‘lip flip’ procedure from a plump-pouted friend, I booked in immediately.
Okay, maybe not immediately. I did some thorough internet research first, making sure I fully understood the risks, potential side effects, recovery periods and costs involved. This is a very important step. After reading rave reviews online, I scheduled an appointment for the following month (she was booked up for three weeks) with North Melbourne-based injectables nurse, Lucynda Tomaino.
