A lip flip is a cosmetic treatment where small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the muscles around the upper lip. This relaxes the muscle, allowing the lip to gently turn outward and creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined upper lip without adding volume, unlike dermal fillers.
How does it work?
Small amounts of botulinum toxin relax the orbicularis oris muscle above the lip.
The upper lip subtly turns outward, which may create a naturally fuller appearance.
Lip flip vs. lip fillers:
Lip flip = no added volume, works by relaxing the muscle
Lip filler = adds volume using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers
Potential benefits of a lip flip:
Subtle, natural-looking results
Quick procedure with minimal downtime
May help reduce the appearance of a gummy smile
Typically less swelling compared to lip filler treatments
Important to know:
Results usually last around 2 to 3 months. The treatment should always be carried out by a qualified and appropriately registered medical professional with a good understanding of facial anatomy.
