A subtle flip
a little more lip

Q: Is the Botox lip flip safe?

Yes. Botox® is FDA-approved for cosmetic use and has been safely used for decades. When administered by qualified professionals, the Botox® Lip Flip is a safe procedure with minimal risk of serious complications.

Q: Can I combine a Lip Flip with other treatments?

Yes. A Botox® Lip Flip can be combined with lip filler when you want both more lip show and added volume. It can also be part of a broader Botox® plan for areas such as the forehead or crow’s feet. Treatments like Morpheus8 or CO₂ laser resurfacing may need to be scheduled separately depending on your skin, treatment area, and timing. Your provider can recommend the safest order and spacing based on your goals.

Q: Who should not get a Lip Flip?

A Botox® Lip Flip may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for people with certain neuromuscular conditions, or if there is an active infection near the treatment area. Your provider will review your medical history, medications, and goals before treatment to make sure a Lip Flip is appropriate for you.

How It Works

Relax the muscle
reveal the lip

A small amount of Botox^® is placed into targeted muscles just above the upper lip. As those muscles relax, more of the upper lip can become visible, creating a subtle, fuller-looking shape without adding volume.

No Filler No volume is added — the goal is to reveal more of your natural lip.
More Lip When You Smile A good option for clients whose upper lip tends to tuck inward or appear smaller when smiling.
Softer-Looking Lip Lines Treatment may also soften the appearance of fine vertical lines around the upper lip.
Small, Precise Dose Only a small amount is used, placed strategically around the upper lip area.

FAQ

Lip flip questions

Still deciding? Book a free consultation and Dr. Parvina will help you choose between a flip, filler or both.

Is the Botox lip flip safe?

Yes. Botox^® is FDA-approved for cosmetic use and has been safely used for decades. When administered by qualified professionals, the Botox^® Lip Flip is a safe procedure with minimal risk of serious complications.

Does a lip flip add volume?

No. A lip flip doesn’t add volume. It relaxes the muscle above the upper lip so the lip rolls slightly outward and more of it shows, especially when you smile. For true volume or shape, filler is the better choice.

Lip flip or lip filler: which should I choose?

Choose a lip flip if you want a subtle, natural boost and more lip showing when you smile. Choose filler if you want real volume, more shape or to correct uneven lips. Many clients do both for the best of each.

Does a lip flip hurt?

Most clients feel only a few quick pinches. We use an ultra-fine needle and only a handful of tiny injections.

When will I see results?

You’ll start to notice the change in 3 to 5 days, with the full result at about two weeks.

How long does a lip flip last?

Usually 2 to 4 months. Because the lips move constantly when you talk and eat, a lip flip wears off a little sooner than Botox in areas like the forehead.

Can it affect drinking, whistling or speech?

For the first week or two, drinking from a straw, whistling or saying some sounds may feel slightly different. It’s temporary and most clients quickly get used to it.

Can I combine a Lip Flip with other treatments?

Yes. A Botox^® Lip Flip can be combined with lip filler when you want both more lip show and added volume. It can also be part of a broader Botox^® plan for areas such as the forehead or crow’s feet.

Treatments like Morpheus8 or CO₂ laser resurfacing may need to be scheduled separately depending on your skin, treatment area, and timing. Your provider can recommend the safest order and spacing based on your goals.
