About the Treatment
What is Lip Flip?
A lip flip uses small, precise injections of botulinum toxin into the muscles around the upper lip. Rather than adding volume like filler, it relaxes the muscle so the upper lip gently rolls upward, creating a fuller, more defined appearance.
It suits those wanting subtle lip enhancement, more visibility of the upper lip, or a softer gummy smile. Results look natural and typically last three to six months.

Questions
Frequently Asked
What is a lip flip?
A lip flip is a subtle treatment where a small amount of botulinum toxin is placed along the upper lip to gently relax the muscle, allowing the lip to roll slightly outward for a fuller-looking finish. It is a popular option for clients wanting a natural enhancement without dermal filler.
How long does a lip flip last?
Because only a very small amount of product is used in an active area, a lip flip tends to last around six to twelve weeks. Many of our clients book maintenance appointments to keep their result looking its best.
How much does a lip flip cost?
Prices start from £180 at our Mayfair clinic, with your exact cost confirmed at your consultation. We will discuss your goals and treatment plan before anything goes ahead.
What is the difference between a lip flip and lip filler?
A lip flip uses botulinum toxin to relax the upper lip muscle so more of the lip shows, giving a subtle effect, whereas lip filler adds volume using a dermal filler. At your consultation we can help you decide which option, or combination, best suits your goals.
When will I see results from a lip flip?
Most people start to notice the effect within a few days, with the full result usually visible by around two weeks. We are always happy to review your result if you have any questions.
Does a lip flip hurt?
The treatment involves tiny injections into the upper lip area and most clients find it very quick and manageable. Please let us know at your consultation if you have any worries about comfort.
Will a lip flip make my lips bigger?
A lip flip does not add volume; instead it gently relaxes the muscle so slightly more of your upper lip is revealed, creating the impression of a fuller lip. If you are looking for added volume, we can discuss other options with you.
Are there any side effects of a lip flip?
Side effects are usually mild and temporary and can include slight swelling, bruising or a feeling that the lip moves a little differently for a short while. We will talk you through the aftercare so you know what to expect.
Can I still drink and eat normally after a lip flip?
You can eat and drink as normal, though for a short time you may notice small changes when doing things like sipping through a straw or pronouncing certain sounds while the effect settles. This is temporary and eases as the treatment wears off.
Is a lip flip suitable for everyone?
A lip flip suits many people wanting a subtle enhancement, but it is not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have certain medical conditions, and it cannot be given to anyone under 18. We will confirm your suitability at your consultation.
