LIP FLIP

A lip flip provides a natural-looking enhancement to the upper lip by creating the illusion of fullness without adding actual volume. This makes it an excellent option for those seeking a more understated change.

SUBTLE ENHANCEMENT

By relaxing the muscles around the upper lip, a lip flip can help minimize the appearance of a gummy smile, allowing for a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile when the lips are at rest.

REDUCE GUMMY SMILE

The lip flip is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that typically takes only a few minutes to complete. Results can be seen within a few days and usually last around 1-3 months, making it an efficient option for those looking for short-term enhancement.

QUICK PROCEDURE

TECHNIQUE

Lip Flip: Involves injecting a small amount of Botox or similar neuromodulator into the muscles around the upper lip to relax them, causing the lip to roll slightly outward, creating the illusion of fuller lips without adding volume.

Lip Fillers: Involves injecting hyaluronic acid or other dermal fillers directly into the lips to add volume, shape, and definition.

PURPOSE

Lip Flip: Focuses on creating a fuller appearance of the upper lip by relaxing the surrounding muscles, which can also help reduce the appearance of a "gummy smile."

Lip Fillers: Primarily aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the lips, addressing volume loss, and correcting asymmetry.

RESULTS

Lip Flip: Creates a subtle enhancement by improving the lip's appearance without significant volume. The results can last around 2 to 4 months, as the effects of Botox gradually wear off.
Lip Fillers: Provide immediate results with increased volume and a more defined lip contour. The effects typically last from 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used.

The Need to Know - Lip Flips

A lip flip is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to subtly lift and flip the upper lip outward, creating the appearance of fuller, more voluptuous lips.
The Botox is injected just above the Cupid's bow of the upper lip. This relaxes the muscle that pulls the lip downward, allowing the lip to gently roll outward and appear more plump.
The main benefits are a subtle enhancement of the lip shape and volume without the need for dermal fillers. It can create the illusion of fuller lips without dramatically altering the appearance.
The effects of a lip flip typically last 2-4 months, at which point the Botox will wear off and the lip will return to its original position.
The injection process is relatively quick and the discomfort is minimal, as the needle used is very fine. Some patients report a slight pinching sensation.
Potential side effects are mild and may include temporary bruising, swelling, or a slight asymmetry in the lip shape. These typically resolve within a week or two.
Lip flip treatments starts at $125. If additional product is needed, it is $13 per extra unit. 95% of clients don’t need extra product.
