A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that provides a subtle enhancement to the upper lip, making it appear slightly fuller and more defined.
This procedure is achieved using a small amount of Botulinum toxin (often known by brand names such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin) that's injected into the orbicularis oris muscle, which controls the movement of the mouth.
By carefully targeting specific areas of this muscle, the upper lip is allowed to "flip" upward, revealing more of the lip's pink surface.
The result is a natural-looking augmentation that avoids the pronounced volume increase seen with lip fillers. The benefits of a lip flip include a more balanced and youthful appearance of the lips, with results typically lasting between 6 to 12 weeks.
