A Lip Flip is a quick, non-surgical treatment that uses a neuromodulator to gently relax the muscles around the upper lip. This allows more of the lip to show when you smile, creating the appearance of added fullness without actually increasing volume. The result is a softer, more balanced smile that looks natural and refreshed. Lip Flips are often paired with wrinkle relaxing injections for patients who want to smooth lines around the mouth at the same time.
While both treatments enhance the lips, they achieve different results:
Lip Flip: Creates a subtle, natural-looking lift without adding volume.
Lip Filler: Adds structure, volume, and definition to reshape the lips.
For patients looking for hydration and smoothing in addition to lift, gentle filler refresh treatments may be recommended. And if previous filler has migrated or created unwanted shape, dissolving & rebuilding lip filler can restore a clean foundation before adding enhancement.
Results typically appear within 3–5 days and last about 6–8 weeks. Because the treatment uses a small amount of neuromodulator, results are temporary, making it a great option for patients wanting to “test drive” lip enhancement.
No. A Lip Flip relaxes the upper lip muscles so the lip rolls outward slightly, giving the illusion of fullness without adding volume.
Most results last 6–8 weeks, though timing may vary based on individual muscle activity.
The treatment involves a few quick injections with minimal discomfort. Most patients describe it as a brief pinch.
Yes. A Lip Flip can complement filler by enhancing shape and smile dynamics while filler adds structure and volume.
