LIP FLIP

A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that uses Botox injections to subtly enhance the appearance of the upper lip by relaxing the muscles around the lip border, causing the lip to “flip” outward and appear fuller, without adding volume.

What Is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses small amounts of anti-wrinkle injections to enhance the appearance of the upper lip. The treatment works by relaxing the orbicularis oris muscle around the mouth, allowing the upper lip to gently roll outward and reveal more of the natural lip surface.

This creates the appearance of a fuller and more defined upper lip without adding volume. Unlike dermal fillers, a lip flip does not increase lip size but subtly improves the shape and visibility of the upper lip.

Lip Flip vs Lip Filler

A lip flip and lip filler both enhance the lips, but they work in different ways.

  • Lip Flip – relaxes the muscles around the upper lip to slightly roll the lip outward
  • Lip Filler – adds volume and structure to the lips using hyaluronic acid filler

A lip flip is ideal for patients looking for a subtle enhancement or for those who want to improve lip definition without adding volume.

Who Is Suitable for a Lip Flip?

A lip flip may be suitable for patients who:

  • Have a thin upper lip that disappears when smiling
  • Show excessive gum when smiling (gummy smile)
  • Want a subtle lip enhancement
  • Prefer a non-filler option for lip improvement

The treatment can also be combined with lip fillers for patients who want additional volume and definition.

Results and Longevity

Results usually begin to appear within a few days, with full results visible after approximately 10–14 days.

The effects typically last around 6–12 weeks, as the muscles around the mouth are very active. Regular treatments can help maintain the result.

Benefits of Lip Flip Treatment

  • Subtle enhancement of the upper lip
  • Creates a more defined lip shape
  • Quick treatment (typically under 15 minutes)
  • Minimal downtime
  • Natural-looking results

Consultation

At M&K Aesthetics London, every treatment begins with a personalised consultation to assess your lip anatomy and aesthetic goals. This ensures the treatment is tailored to create balanced and natural-looking results.

FAQ

Opting for a lip flip with Botox can offer a wonderfully natural appearance compared to lip fillers. Meanwhile, keen observers can usually tell if someone has fillers because of the exaggerated volume of their lips.

Cons: A lip flip can negatively impact your lip functions and change the way you speak in some instances. If you’re unhappy with your results, you have to wait about three months for the effects to wear off.

You’ll find that a lip flip typically lasts between 2-3 months, with full results appearing within 10-12 days post-procedure, offering a temporary, subtle enhancement without the need for added volume.

No, lip flips do not impact eating – but they can have an effect on drinking from a straw. After a procedure, it may be difficult to purse your lips together to drink out of a straw. Such effects are temporary, will subside over time, and are unlikely to occur in the hands of the right injector.

The experience I had was nothing short of fabulous; the welcome from Marie and Elanda was perfect, they were great, beautiful, and super prepared to give you the best advice on how to resolve or mitigate the small aesthetic issues you want to improve! I trusted them to improve my situation with dark circles, and I must say that the result speaks for itself! Another magnificent thing was their availability to accommodate my schedule! In summary, a 5-star experience out of 5!! I highly recommend it!

I recently started my Morpheus& treatment plan here, and my beautician, Ellie, has been absolutely wonderful. She is incredibly patient and took the time to answer all my questions. The procedure itself was smoothly guided, and I felt truly looked after. I also received excellent skincare advice, which I found very helpful. I would definitely recommend M&K Aesthetics!

Marie and her team are not only welcoming and accommodating to everyone's needs but extremely professional and knowledgeable. I see elanda on a regular basis for skin boosters, Botox and filler. She is an incredibly qualified nurse who makes you feel at ease and keeps you informed throughout the whole process. Of course the best part is how easy it is to get along with her! I cannot recommend M&K enough! Thank you for always putting the client first!

I visited M&K Aesthetics this January and currently completing my IPL course with Lumecca. Marie is an excellent practitioner and my results are incredible so far. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my treatments.
