WHAT IS THE  BOTOX®  LIP FLIP?

​

The Botox® Lip Flip uses precise injections of botulinum toxin (Botox®) into the muscles around the upper lip. This causes the muscle to relax slightly, allowing the lip to gently roll outward. The result is a more visible, defined lip that appears fuller—without the added volume or structure of dermal fillers.

​

Rather than changing the shape of your lips, the Lip Flip enhances what’s already there, making it a great choice for patients who want a more subtle improvement or are hesitant about filler.

​

LIP FLIP VS. LIP FILLER

​

Both lip fillers and the Lip Flip have their place in aesthetic care, but they serve different purposes. Here’s why many patients are now opting for the Botox® Lip Flip over traditional fillers:

​

• MORE NATURAL APPEARANCE: The Lip Flip enhances the existing shape of your lips without adding bulk, making it ideal for those seeking a softer, more subtle look.

​

• LESS COMMITMENT: Botox® wears off gradually over 6–8 weeks, making it a great option for first-timers or those unsure about committing to filler.

​

• LOWER COST: The Lip Flip is typically more affordable than dermal fillers, making it an accessible entry point into aesthetic treatments.

​

• LESS RISK OF OVERFILLING: Because it doesn’t add volume, there’s no risk of an unnatural or “overdone” result.

​

• IMPROVES SMILE DYNAMICS: For those with a gummy smile, the Lip Flip can help reduce the appearance of excess gum tissue when smiling.

​

While fillers add volume by injecting hyaluronic acid, the Lip Flip enhances the positioning of the lip through muscle relaxation. In some cases, a combination of both may offer the most balanced result—something we can assess during your consultation.
