Magic of the Lip Flip

August 28th, 2024 | By: Timeless Skin Solutions

When we think about enhancing our pout, fillers tend to be the first option that comes to mind. But what if you’re not ready to commit to fillers? Are you limited to lip plumpers? Not quite. Let us introduce the Lip Flip. 


What is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip uses Botox® to create a fuller, more defined upper lip. Unlike fillers, which add volume, the lip flip places Botox® along the upper lip muscle, near the border, to relax and “flip” the lip. This causes the lip to ‘flip’ slightly upward, revealing more of the upper lip. The result? The illusion of plumper lips.


Benefits of the Lip Flip

  • Subtle Enhancement: The lip flip provides a gentle, natural-looking enhancement. It’s great for those who want to avoid the overdone look. 
  • Cost-Effective: On a budget? A lip flip is usually much less expensive than traditional fillers, often requiring just 5-8 units of Botox® to achieve. 
  • Minimal Downtime: Don’t worry about disrupting your schedule with a lip flip. The procedure is quick and usually requires little to no downtime, making it ideal for a lunchtime treatment. 
  • Versatility: Suitable for a range of ages, a lip flip can cater to different aesthetic goals, whether you’re looking for fuller lips or a less “gummy” smile.
  • No Long-Term Commitment: One of the most appealing aspects of a lip flip is that while it offers noticeable results, it’s not permanent. The effects usually last around 3 months, making it a great way to try out a new look without a long-term commitment. Plus, if you love the results, you can always go back for a touch-up.

What to Expect During the Lip Flip

Our expert medical staff will inject a small amount of Botox into the muscles around your upper lip. The process takes just a few minutes and involves minimal discomfort—think tiny pinches. Results typically begin to appear in a few days, with full effects visible in a week or two.


Is a Lip Flip Right for You? 

The lip flip can be a great option if… 

  • You want a subtle enhancement to your upper lip. 
  • You want to test out lip enhancements without committing to fillers. 
  • You’re looking for a cost-effective way to refresh your appearance. 
  • You’re intrigued by the idea of a quick, low-maintenance beauty boost.


However, we always recommend consulting with one of our medical providers to discuss your goals before undergoing treatment. Our highly trained staff will help you determine if the lip flip is the right choice for you.
