Lip Flip
Subtle • Quick • No Filler
More upper lip when you smile, without adding volume.
A lip flip is a small, quick, minimally invasive treatment for people who want a fuller-looking upper lip without adding any volume.A small amount of Botox or Dysport is placed around the upper lip to relax selected muscles, allowing the lip to turn slightly outward so more of the upper lip is visible. They relax the muscle that pulls the lip inward, so the lip rolls slightly outward and shows more when you smile.
It is done at Valoura Med Spa in Savoy, minutes from Champaign and Urbana, under physician supervision.
LIP FLIP VS. LIP FILLER
One changes position. The other changes size.
- ✓ Changes: a lip flip changes the position of the upper lip; lip filler changes size and shape
- ✓ Product: a lip flip uses a small dose of Botox or Dysport; lip filler uses hyaluronic acid filler
- ✓ Result: a lip flip often shows within 3–7 days; lip filler shows straight away
- ✓ Lasts: a lip flip commonly 2–3 months; lip filler commonly 6–12 months
- ✓ Best for: a lip flip for an upper lip that disappears when smiling, or a gummy smile; lip filler for thin lips at rest and definition
Some patients do both: the flip for a natural roll and a small amount of filler for softness. We will tell you which one fits your lips.
WHO IT SUITS
Often a good fit for:
- ✓ A thin-looking upper lip that curls in when you smile
- ✓ A gummy smile
- ✓ Anyone who wants a very subtle change without adding filler volume.
- ✓ Patients who already have filler and want a little more show without more product
RESULTS TIMELINE
Typical Results Timeline
Every patient is different. These are typical ranges, not a promise, and your physician will set your plan.
- ✓ Change: often visible within 3–7 days
- ✓ How long it lasts: commonly 2–3 months – shorter than forehead Botox because the lip muscle is used constantly
- ✓ First few days: sipping through a straw or whistling may feel slightly different; this usually passes quickly
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Consultation: we check your lips at rest and smiling and confirm a flip is the right tool.
- Treatment: about five minutes, with a few tiny injections along the upper lip border.
- Results: usually within the first week.
