What is a lip flip?
A lip flip is a treatment in which small amounts of botox are injected above the upper lip. This creates a subtle lifting effect. Unlike lip fillers, which add volume to the lips, a lip flip focuses on relaxing the muscles around the upper lip. Weakening these muscles allows the upper lip to be rolled out slightly. It looks a little fuller. This can also help with a gum smile, where a lot of gums are visible when you smile.
Why a lip flip?
Benefits of lip flip
- Subtle, natural result: A lip flip provides a subtle lift to the upper lip without the use of filler. This gives you a natural-looking, fuller lip without it being immediately noticeable that you have undergone a treatment.
- Quick and simple procedure: The treatment only takes about 15 minutes and there is minimal downtime. You can resume your daily activities almost immediately after treatment.
- Ideal for a gum smile: A lip flip can be effective for people with a gum smile (gummy smile), because it helps the upper lip move down slightly, making less gum visible when you smile.

During the treatment
How does a lip flip work?
Your treatment starts with a short consultation. Your practitioner will then explain the treatment again and you can of course ask all your questions. The treatment area is then cleaned and dots are drawn at the places where the injection will take place. This is where your practitioner will then inject the Botox. Most people hardly feel anything, just small pricks. The treatment takes a total of fifteen minutes, with results that last three months.
Result
Before and after lip flip results
Before and after a lip flip, the difference is subtle but meaningful. Before treatment, the upper lip may appear flat or reveal a lot of gum tissue when you smile. After the lip flip you will see that the upper lip has rolled out slightly, which provides a fuller, more attractive appearance. It can also reduce the appearance of the gums, resulting in a more balanced smile. The result is natural and perfect for those looking for a subtle change.
After the treatment
Aftercare lip flip treatment
After a lip flip treatment, you should leave the treatment area alone. Do not rub or massage the lip or apply pressure to the area for the first 48 hours. You can wear make-up again once the puncture holes are closed. Also try to avoid UV radiation and sweating, and therefore do not sunbathe, exercise, go to the sauna or tanning bed. This can have a negative impact on the end result. Do you suffer from bruising or swelling? Don't worry, this will go away on its own.
