about Lip Flip
The Lip Flip is a popular non-surgical lip enhancement treatment designed to subtly improve the shape and fullness of the upper lip using small amounts of Botulinum Toxin (Botox). Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, the Lip Flip works by relaxing the muscles around the upper lip, causing it to gently roll outward. This creates the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip without adding extra volume. It is an ideal choice for those who want a natural-looking enhancement, a more defined Cupid’s bow, or correction of a gummy smile by reducing gum visibility, while avoiding the commitment of fillers.
During the procedure, Botox is strategically injected into the Cupid’s bow and corners of the mouth to relax the perioral muscles, increasing the visible surface area of the lip. This results in lips that appear slightly plumper, more balanced, and naturally enhanced. The Lip Flip is a quick and convenient treatment that typically takes only 10–15 minutes, with results becoming noticeable within a few days and lasting for around three to four months. With minimal downtime and no surgical intervention, it offers an excellent alternative to lip fillers or lip lift surgery, providing beautiful, natural results that enhance both the smile and overall facial harmony.
Difference Between a Lip Flip and Lip Filler
While both a lip flip and lip fillers can create the appearance of fuller lips, they work in very different ways. Lip filler treatments use hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers to physically add volume, enhance shape, and improve lip definition. This makes them ideal for clients wanting a plumper, more sculpted pout. In contrast, a lip flip uses a small amount of Botox (Botulinum Toxin) to relax the muscles around the upper lip. This subtle relaxation causes the lip to gently roll outward, exposing more of the natural lip surface and creating the illusion of added fullness without actually increasing volume.
Both treatments are safe, effective, and minimally invasive. If you want to enhance the natural shape of your lips without adding extra volume, a lip flip is often the better choice. However, if your goal is to noticeably increase lip size or dramatically reshape them, lip fillers may be the more suitable option.
