LIP FLIP
Subtle upper lip enhancement for a softer, more defined smile.
A lip flip is a precise injectable treatment designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume. Using small doses of anti-wrinkle product, the treatment relaxes the muscle around the upper lip so it gently rolls outward, creating a more defined, balanced look. It is ideal for clients who want subtle enhancement, improved lip shape, or support for a gummy smile without the fullness of dermal filler.
Unlike lip filler, a lip flip does not increase lip volume. Instead, it improves the way the upper lip sits and shows when you are at rest or smiling, making it a refined option for clients seeking a natural result.

What to Expect:
Lip flip involves a series of very small injections placed into the muscle above the upper lip. The treatment itself is quick, typically taking around 10–15 minutes. Most clients find it very tolerable, and there is little to no downtime afterwards. Results usually begin to appear within a few days, with full effect visible at around 10–14 days. The result is a softer, slightly more visible upper lip with improved definition when smiling. Effects typically last around 6–8 weeks, and maintenance is recommended to preserve the result.
Your questions, answered
Clear answers to the most common questions before booking.
How is lip flip different from lip filler? Lip filler adds volume and structure to the lips. A lip flip does not add volume. It works by relaxing the muscle around the upper lip so the lip gently rolls outward, creating a more subtle enhancement.
Is there downtime? Minimal. You may notice slight redness, swelling, or small injection marks immediately after treatment, but these usually settle quickly.
How long does lip flip last? Most clients enjoy results for around 6–8 weeks, although this can vary depending on muscle activity and individual response.
Can lip flip be combined with other treatments? Yes. Lip flip can work well alongside anti-wrinkle treatments, skin rejuvenation treatments, or lip filler when a more advanced treatment plan is appropriate.
