A lip flip is a quick, non-surgical treatment that involves strategically placing small amounts of Botox into the muscles around the upper lip (orbicularis oris). By gently relaxing these muscles, the upper lip is able to softly roll outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip (without adding volume or altering your natural lip shape).
This procedure is perfect for patients who want a subtle enhancement rather than opting for dermal fillers. However, many of our patients choose a lip flip to complement lip filler for a balanced, natural-looking result.
We are available for consultations from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
A lip flip procedure offers several benefits, including enhancing the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume and creating a softer, more defined cupid’s bow. It can also help reduce lip “tucking under” when smiling and, in some patients, may improve the appearance of a gummy smile.
The treatment comes with minimal downtime, and high satisfaction rates. For example, some studies show that over 95% of patients are satisfied or very satisfied with their results, and most say they would choose the treatment again or recommend it to others.
When it comes to our clinic, our patients have described the procedure as well-tolerated and they love their results.
During your consultation, one of our specialists will assess your facial structure, lip shape, and muscle activity around the upper lip to determine if a lip flip is right for you. We will also review your medical history, including any neurological conditions or previous facial treatments. On the day of your appointment, it is also best to avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications if possible, as these can increase bruising.
Your Fiore Aesthetics specialist will inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles around your upper lip. Most patients feel only a slight pinch or mild discomfort during the injections. If you are concerned about pain, a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand.
After your lip flip treatment, you might notice mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. This is entirely normal and these effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. However, it is important to avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated area to ensure the Botox works effectively.
There is usually no downtime, so you can resume your daily activities immediately. Results tend to appear within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect being visible around 2 weeks after treatment. The effects usually last 3 to 4 months, and repeat treatments are needed to maintain the subtle enhancement.

Yes, in some patients, it can help reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by relaxing the upper lip.
Of course! This procedure is suitable for all genders. In fact, men represent a growing segment of the cosmetic industry, accounting for approximately 14 to 16% of all cosmetic procedures worldwide according to recent surveys.
You may notice a slight temporary change in muscle movement, but your lips will feel normal once the Botox takes effect.
Since Botox effects are temporary, any undesired effects will fade within a few months. Adjustments can also be made in future treatments. However, we always try to ensure ALL our patients leave our clinic satisfied.
The results are subtle and natural-looking, enhancing your lips without making it obvious that you had a procedure.
