Small dose of botulinum toxin injected at the upper lip border that subtly rolls the lip outward. A natural-looking alternative to lip filler with no volume change.
What to expect
Typical milestones for an aesthetic-procedure patient. Your surgeon will personalise the plan during your consultation.
Before treatment
Consultation
Practitioner walks you through the simulation, marks the injection points, and explains the units / volume needed.
Day of treatment
Treatment
15–30 minute in-clinic visit. Numbing cream + fine needles. You walk out the same hour.
Days 1–3
Onset
Mild redness or pinpoint bruising at injection sites. Effects start showing within 48–72 hours.
Weeks 1–2
Peak effect
Full result visible. Top-up appointment if any asymmetry needs balancing.
Months 3–6
Maintenance
Gradual softening of the effect. Most patients schedule a maintenance visit at the 4–6 month mark.

Lip flip uses a small dose of botulinum toxin (typically 4-8 units) injected at strategic points along the upper lip's vermilion border. The toxin relaxes the orbicularis oris muscle just enough to allow the upper lip to "flip" or "roll" outward, creating the appearance of a fuller lip without adding volume. Results are subtle — visible but not obvious — and last 6-8 weeks before reinjection is needed.
The procedure is popular among patients who want lip enhancement without the commitment of HA filler, those whose upper lip "disappears" when smiling (gummy smile patients), and those seeking complementary results to existing lip filler. Treatment takes <5 minutes and has no downtime. Cost is significantly lower than filler ($150-$400 per session) but maintenance frequency is much higher.
Patients wanting subtle lip enhancement without filler, those with thin upper lip from gummy smile, or as a complement to existing lip filler.
Recovery Time
No downtime; effects develop over 4-7 days
Procedure Duration
<5 minutes
Typical Cost Range
$150 – $400
