ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENTS
If your upper lip seems to tuck under when you smile, a lip flip may be one of the options to explore. It aims to change how much of your existing lip shows, without adding filler volume.
ABOUT THIS TREATMENT
A lip flip is an anti-wrinkle treatment that focuses on how the upper lip sits and moves. Unlike lip filler, it does not add volume to the lips. That distinction matters: two people might both say they want a “fuller-looking lip”, but mean quite different things.
We’ll look at your lips both at rest and when you smile, then talk about the change you’re hoping to see. Your natural lip shape and movement help determine whether this is an appropriate option to consider.

WHAT IT HELPS
A lip flip may be relevant when the upper lip rolls inward or appears less visible when you smile. The intention is a change in how much of your existing lip shows, rather than an increase in the lip’s actual volume. If you want more fullness, definition or a change in lip shape, lip filler may be a more relevant conversation. We’ll explain the differences clearly so you can decide what suits your goal.

FAQS
It won’t add volume in the way filler does. The change people are usually asking about is whether more of their existing upper lip can be seen, particularly when they smile. If you want a noticeably fuller lip, tell us so we can discuss the right options.
A lip flip concerns the position and movement of the upper lip. Filler adds volume or definition. We can assess your lips and help you work out whether your goal is about how they move, how much volume they have, or both.
Because this approach involves an area you use constantly, changes in lip movement are an important consideration. We’ll talk through the possible limitations and risks before you decide whether it’s right for you.
The muscle-relaxing option commonly associated with a lip flip is prescription-only. An appropriate prescriber must assess your suitability first, and they may advise that another approach better fits your goals.
