What is a Lip Flip? Discover the Subtle Enhancement Everyone is Talking About
Looking to enhance your lips without the commitment of filler? A lip flip might be exactly what you’re looking for. At Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center in Scottsdale, we specialize in refined, natural results—and the lip flip is one of our most requested non-surgical treatments for a soft, sexy pout.
What is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a quick, non-invasive procedure that uses a small amount of Botox (or another neuromodulator) to relax the muscles around the upper lip. This relaxation causes the lip to gently roll upward, making more of the pink part visible and creating the illusion of fuller lips—without adding volume.
It’s perfect for patients who:
- Want a subtle enhancement
- Feel their upper lip disappears when they smile
- Aren’t ready for lip filler but want a boost
- Prefer a natural, low-maintenance option
How is a Lip Flip Different From Lip Filler?
While both treatments aim to enhance the lips, they work in very different ways:
- Lip Flip: Uses Botox to flip the lip outward for a fuller look. Best for subtle changes and enhancing lip shape when smiling.
- Lip Filler: Adds actual volume to the lips using dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane. Great for patients looking for plumper, more defined lips.
Some patients even combine the two treatments for maximum effect!
What to Expect
The treatment is fast, virtually painless, and requires no downtime. The treatment typically takes just 10 minutes, and you’ll start to notice results within 3–5 days, with full effect in about 7–10 days. Results typically last 6–8 weeks, making it an easy treatment to maintain with regular visits.
