Botox Lip Flip
The Botox lip flip is a precise technique where small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the orbicularis oris muscle along the upper lip border. This relaxes the muscle just enough to allow the upper lip to gently roll outward, revealing more of the lip vermillion and creating a fuller appearance without adding volume through dermal filler.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a lip flip different from lip filler?
A lip flip uses Botox to relax the upper lip muscle so it rolls slightly outward, showing more lip. Lip filler physically adds volume to the lips with hyaluronic acid. A lip flip is subtler and uses no filler material. Many patients combine both for a comprehensive result.
How long does a Botox lip flip last?
A lip flip typically lasts 6-8 weeks, shorter than standard Botox areas because the orbicularis oris muscle is highly active. The short duration makes it a low-commitment way to try lip enhancement before investing in filler.
Can a lip flip affect my ability to drink through a straw?
In rare cases, if too much Botox is used, it can temporarily weaken the lip's ability to purse for drinking or whistling. Our precise dosing of 4-6 units minimizes this risk. Most patients experience no functional changes.
