Lip Flips create a subtle appearance of fuller and more pronounced lips without adding volume. This is done through a Tox injection that temporarily relaxes the lip muscles and prevents them from contracting as strongly. The goal of a Lip Flip is not a dramatic volume increase, but enhanced visibility and the prevention of inward curling when smiling.
Lip Flips usually last between 3 to 4 months.
What to expect when getting a Lip Flip
Before a Lip Flip
Avoid using "anti-aging" products 1-2 days prior to your appointment.- Wash your face and remove makeup before your appointment.- Clear a flat surface and provide a comfortable seating option for your treatment. You might clean for the house cleaner, but no need to tidy up for us!
During a Lip Flip
- Your provider will review your treatment plan upon arrival, provide an assessment, and explain how your treatment will work.
- We always want to be transparent about price from the start. Your provider will share the number of units recommended for your treatment before injections begin.
- A topical numbing cream may be applied to decrease sensitivity.
- Your provider will inject Tox along the upper and lower lip's border.
- Injections will be quick and completed within a few minutes. You can expect small pinches, but nothing too painful!
After a Lip Flip
- Refrain from intense workouts and excessive alcohol intake 24 hours post-treatment.
- Results may appear within days to 2 weeks, peaking around 2-4 weeks post-treatment.
- Your provider will follow up after your appointment to ensure satisfaction and plan further steps.

A Lip Flip involves a toxin injection that temporarily relaxes the muscles around the mouth, causing a subtle lifting or "flipping" of the upper lip. This allows more of the upper lip to become visible, creating the appearance of a fuller lip without adding volume. It's often less expensive and less painful than lip filler.
Lip Filler, on the other hand, involves injecting a filler substance into the lips to add volume directly. While Lip Flip focuses on changing the position of the lip, Lip Filler is about increasing its size
Unlike Lip Filler, Lip Flips do not give that instant full and plump look. They are a much more gradual and natural-looking solution.
