A lip flip is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that can help people achieve a fuller upper lip without dermal filler.
The procedure involves Botox injections into your upper lip to relax the muscles and “flip” your lip upward.
The goal is to relax the orbicularis oris muscle, which helps form and shape the lips.
The injection encourages the top lip to relax and “flip” outwards, giving the subtle illusion of a fuller lip.
The lip flip is a quick procedure, taking less than 5 minutes. Because of this, it can be a suitable option for those wary about more invasive surgeries.
A lip flip lasts for about 2–3 months. It only lasts for a short duration because the upper lip muscle often moves, causing its effects to wear off.
