💉 Doctor Only Injects One Side of Her Mouth With Botox — and the Internet Can’t Stop Staring
Dr. Bita Farrell has once again turned herself into a live demonstration — this time to show the surprisingly subtle yet dramatic power of Botox when used for a lip flip. But what’s grabbing global attention isn’t just the result — it’s her willingness to inject only one side of her own face.
The California-based aesthetic doctor, known for her candid experiments and science-first approach, decided to showcase what the popular procedure can really do by performing a “split-face” test. She injected Botox into only one side of her upper lip — an area often affected by fine lines, called “smoker’s lines” or “lipstick lines.”
👄 The result? Half her mouth appeared lifted, fuller, and noticeably smoother. The treated side’s cupid’s bow sat slightly higher, while vertical lip lines softened visibly — proof of the muscle-relaxing effect of Botox.
“I’m only going to inject this side,” Dr. Farrell told her 240,000 followers. “We’ll check the difference in two weeks.”
And two weeks later, the difference was impossible to ignore.
“This is the treated side,” she explained. “You can see the lip has flipped out, the fullness has increased, and when I smile, it doesn’t curl under.” Even her facial symmetry was visibly altered — yet in a natural-looking way that fascinated both fans and professionals.
🧪 Her experiment is part of a growing trend in aesthetic medicine: transparency and education. While some followers applauded her bravery and clarity, others were shocked when she admitted she preferred the untreated side of her face. The post quickly went viral, sparking debates in the comment sections over beauty standards, expectations, and the very idea of facial perfection.

💬 “You can’t suck from a straw,” one commenter warned about lip flips. “It looked cute though.” Another joked, “I’d rather have smoker lines!”
It’s not just a cosmetic choice — it’s a conversation. And Dr. Farrell is helping lead it.
