A lip flip is a subtle, non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip using small amounts of botulinum toxin. Unlike lip fillers, which add volume, a lip flip works by relaxing the muscles around the mouth—specifically the orbicularis oris muscle. This allows the top lip to gently roll outward, creating the illusion of a fuller, more defined lip without adding actual volume.
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking just 10–15 minutes. A few tiny injections are placed strategically above the upper lip, and results begin to appear within a few days, reaching full effect in about one to two weeks.
Benefits of a lip flip include a more prominent cupid’s bow, a softer smile line, and a natural-looking enhancement with little to no downtime. It’s an ideal option for those looking for a subtle improvement or who want to test the waters before considering fillers.
