Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Lip Flip.

A Lip Flip uses a small amount of neurotoxin to relax the orbicularis oris muscle, allowing the upper lip to gently evert for a fuller appearance without adding any filler.

Results usually appear within three to seven days and peak around two weeks. Effects typically last about six to twelve weeks, though individual metabolism and muscle strength influence duration overall.

Most clients report only mild discomfort—a quick pinching or stinging sensation. Topical numbing is available and the procedure is brief, making it well-tolerated for most patients, with minimal lingering soreness afterward.

Subtle changes are often noticeable within days, with full effect by two weeks. Your provider will assess results and recommend timing for follow-up or maintenance treatments. Individual response varies, so schedules are personalized.

Ideal candidates have a thin or downturned upper lip, desire a subtle pout without fillers, or wish to correct a gummy smile. Avoid if pregnant, breastfeeding, or with neuromuscular conditions or active infection at the injection site.

A Lip Flip enhances upper lip eversion but does not add volume like fillers. For significant fullness, dermal fillers are preferable; both can be combined strategically for balanced, natural-looking results.
