A SUBTLE UPPER-LIP LIFT—WITHOUT ADDED VOLUME
A Lip Flip is a precision neuromodulator technique that gently relaxes the muscle around the upper lip, allowing the lip to “turn outward” slightly for a more visible, defined shape at rest and when you smile. It’s an ideal option for clients who want refinement without filler—especially if the upper lip tends to disappear, the lip line feels tight, or you want a softer, more balanced smile. Our approach is conservative and anatomy-led: we assess your movement, lip strength, and facial proportions to determine placement that looks natural, not altered. Results develop gradually and are designed to feel like you—just subtly more supported.
Soft Lift, Natural Definition
A refined Lip Flip relaxes upper-lip tension for a subtly more visible shape—without adding volume or changing your identity.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal for clients who want a subtle enhancement without filler—especially if the upper lip curls inward, looks thinner when smiling, or feels “tight” at rest. A great first step for anyone seeking gentle definition, improved lip show, or a more balanced smile.
Primary Benefits
A Lip Flip can increase upper-lip visibility, soften tension around the mouth, and refine the lip line for a smoother, more relaxed look. Results build gradually over several days and create a natural finish that complements your facial proportions.
Treatment Focus
Our focus is precision and restraint. We place conservatively to preserve natural movement and comfort while enhancing lip shape and balance. The goal is subtle definition that looks effortless—never obvious or overdone.
SHAPE WITH RESTRAINT AND INTENTION
A Lip Flip uses a small amount of neuromodulator placed with precision along the upper lip to relax the muscle that pulls the lip inward. The result is a subtle outward roll that can improve lip show and definition—without adding volume. Your injector evaluates your smile, lip strength, and facial balance to determine ideal placement for a natural finish. Treatment is quick, with minimal downtime, and results typically begin to appear within several days. Pro-Nox may be available as an optional comfort add-on.
Your appointment begins with a focused assessment of lip movement, smile dynamics, and proportion. We confirm candidacy, discuss timing and expectations, and create a conservative plan designed to refine—not transform. Most appointments are quick, with minimal downtime and a gradual, natural-looking result.
The Lip Flip targets the upper lip border to refine shape and lip show. In some cases, subtle support around the mouth may be discussed based on your movement patterns and goals.
A beautiful Lip Flip is about precision—not intensity. We use subtle placement and conservative dosing to soften tension and refine shape while protecting natural movement. The result is a quietly polished enhancement that complements your face rather than competing with it.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Your injector assesses lip structure, movement, and smile dynamics to create a plan rooted in proportion and balance.
Guided Education
We explain timing, expected changes, and what a Lip Flip can—and cannot—do, so your decision feels confident.
Sustainable Transformation
With thoughtful maintenance, results remain soft and consistent—supporting shape and definition without escalation.

No. It does not add volume. It changes how the upper lip rests and moves, which can make the lip appear a bit more visible.
Results vary, but many clients experience improvement for about 6–8 weeks, depending on metabolism and muscle strength.
Most clients notice changes within several days, with the result continuing to refine over 1–2 weeks.
When done conservatively, changes are subtle. You may feel a mild difference at first as your lip relaxes, but expression should remain natural.
Yes—this is one of the most common reasons clients choose it. We assess smile dynamics to confirm candidacy.
In select cases, it may help soften upper-lip elevation. We’ll evaluate your anatomy and discuss what’s realistic.
Minimal. You can typically return to your day, following simple post-care instructions to protect your results.
Discomfort is usually brief and mild. We use a gentle technique, and comfort support may be available if needed.
Filler adds volume and structure. A Lip Flip relaxes muscle tension to subtly reveal more of the upper lip—often best for clients who want refinement without fullness.
Yes, in many cases. Some clients use a Lip Flip for movement and a small amount of filler for hydration or structure. We’ll recommend a balanced plan.
If you need significant volume, structure, or shape correction, filler may be more appropriate. We’ll guide you toward the option that best fits your goals.
Comfort Every Step
We take a calm, supportive approach to Lip Flip treatments. With refined technique, clear education, and comfort options when needed, your experience is designed to feel informed and reassuring from start to finish.

READY TO BEGIN?
We begin with listening, then assessment—then a paced roadmap built around your features, comfort level, and timeline. No pressure. Just expert guidance and natural results that build beautifully over time. Then we build a measured plan: what to do now, what can wait, and how to maintain results with the right mix of in-office care and clinical skincare at home. Simple. Strategic. You, but better supported.
01
A few questions to clarify what you’re noticing, what you want to protect, and what “natural” means to you—so we can suggest a starting point with intention, not trends—right away.
02
We assess your features, skin quality, and priorities—then map a paced plan: what to do now, what can wait, and what will give the most believable return over time—with next steps.
03
Clear prep steps, product guidance, and timing notes—so your treatment feels comfortable, safe, and set up for the best possible outcome from day one—including what to pause first.
04
A focused visit with a steady hand and thoughtful pacing. We prioritize comfort, precision, and results that don’t announce themselves—just look quietly better by design each time.
05
Easy aftercare, check in guidance and smart maintenance timing—so results settle beautifully, last longer, and stay aligned with your plan as your skin evolves season after season.
