Thin or Undefined Lips
The lip flip creates the illusion of fuller lips by relaxing the upper lip muscle, allowing it to subtly flip outward for a more pronounced appearance.
A lip flip is a quick and minimally invasive treatment that enhances the appearance of your lips by relaxing the muscles around the mouth with a small amount of Botox® or another neuromodulator. This subtle treatment helps the upper lip gently "flip" outward, creating the illusion of fuller, more defined lips without the need for fillers. Well suited to those seeking a natural-looking enhancement, the lip flip also reduces the appearance of a gummy smile and improves lip symmetry.

Enhance Your Smile with a Subtle, Natural Lift
The lip flip creates the illusion of fuller lips by relaxing the upper lip muscle, allowing it to subtly flip outward for a more pronounced appearance.
By relaxing the muscles that elevate the upper lip, a lip flip reduces the visibility of gums when smiling, creating a more balanced smile.
A lip flip enhances symmetry by gently reshaping the upper lip, resulting in a more even, natural look.
For those hesitant about lip fillers, a lip flip offers a subtle, natural enhancement without adding volume, providing an approachable first step into lip aesthetics.
Before, during and after your Lip Flip appointment at Wise Aesthetics.
Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E) for at least 5-7 days before your treatment to minimize bruising.
Avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours before your appointment to reduce the risk of swelling or bruising.
Inform your provider of any medical conditions, medications, or allergies during your consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
Schedule your treatment with enough time before important events, as mild swelling or redness may occur after the treatment.
Your provider will assess your lips and discuss your goals to create a customized treatment plan.
The area around your lips will be cleansed, and a numbing agent may be applied to enhance comfort, though most clients find the treatment tolerable without numbing.
A small amount of Botox® or another neuromodulator will be injected into specific muscles around the upper lip to relax the area and achieve the desired "flip." The process typically takes 10-15 minutes.
You may feel a slight pinch during the injections, but the treatment is quick and minimally invasive.
Do not touch, rub, or apply pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent the product from migrating.
Avoid lying down or bending over for 4 hours after the treatment to allow the product to settle properly.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot tubs for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and ensure the best results.
Refrain from applying makeup around the lips for 24 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few days. If you experience unusual side effects, contact your provider.
You’ll begin to notice the effects of the lip flip within 3-5 days, with full results appearing after about 7-10 days.
The upper lip will appear subtly flipped outward, creating the illusion of fuller, more defined lips and reducing a gummy smile.
Results typically last 2-3 months, as the neuromodulator gradually wears off.
