What is Lip Flip Treatment ?

A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that uses botulinum toxin injections to relax the muscles around the upper lip. This causes the upper lip to roll slightly outward, creating the illusion of fuller lips without adding volume. It’s a quick, non-invasive treatment ideal for individuals looking for a subtle enhancement to their natural lip shape.

The results of a lip flip typically last about 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your metabolism and how quickly your body processes the botulinum toxin. To maintain the results, follow-up treatments are recommended every 2 to 3 months.

While rare, botulinum toxin injections can migrate if not administered correctly. This is why it’s crucial to have the procedure performed by an experienced practitioner. At our clinic, we use precise techniques to ensure the botulinum toxin remains in the intended area, minimising any risk of migration.

A lip flip doesn’t physically increase the size of your lips but enhances their appearance by relaxing the upper lip muscles. This creates a slight outward roll of the lip, making it appear fuller and more defined. For those seeking more volume, a lip flip can be combined with dermal fillers for a more dramatic effect.

Lip flip results are not immediate. It typically takes 3 to 5 days to start seeing the effects, with full results visible around 10 to 14 days after the procedure. This gradual onset allows for a natural-looking enhancement.

A lip flip is not designed to address marionette lines, which are the vertical lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin. For treating marionette lines, dermal fillers or other targeted treatments are recommended. A consultation can help determine the best approach for your concerns.

The lip flip offers several benefits, including enhancing the natural shape of the lips, creating the appearance of fuller lips without adding volume, and reducing the visibility of a gummy smile. It’s a quick and affordable treatment with no downtime, making it an excellent option for subtle lip enhancement.

A lip flip is generally not painful. Most clients report feeling a slight pinch during the botulinum toxin injections, which are quick and minimally invasive. Discomfort is minimal, and numbing cream is rarely needed for this procedure.

The cost of a lip flip typically ranges from £50 to £150 per session, depending on the clinic and practitioner. It’s a more affordable option compared to dermal fillers, making it an accessible choice for lip enhancement.

A lip flip is ideal for individuals who want a subtle enhancement to their upper lip without the added volume of dermal fillers. It’s also an excellent option for those with a gummy smile or who want a more defined lip shape. A consultation with a qualified practitioner will determine if this treatment is suitable for you.

A lip flip is typically performed on the upper lip, as it focuses on relaxing the muscles around the upper lip to create a subtle outward roll and enhanced appearance. While botulinum toxin injections can technically be used on the bottom lip, it is not common practice. This is because relaxing the muscles of the lower lip can affect lip movement and potentially interfere with natural expressions or speech. For individuals seeking enhancements to the bottom lip, dermal fillers are usually a more effective and safer option. A consultation with our experienced practitioners will help determine the best treatment for your goals.
