Lip Flip

Lip Flip

A lip flip uses a small amount of anti-wrinkle injection to relax the muscle around the upper lip, so the lip rolls slightly upwards and looks fuller – without adding any filler. At Dr Elif Clinic, 54 Harley Street, London, it is a quick, doctor-led treatment for a subtle, natural-looking change that lasts a few months.

What does a lip flip do?

Unlike lip filler, a lip flip does not add volume. It relaxes the muscle around the upper lip to create a subtle lift. The upper lip can appear fuller, and the edge of the lip – the vermilion border – can look more pronounced. The result is subtle and natural-looking.

Who is a lip flip for?

  • People who want a modest enhancement of the upper lip
  • People looking for an alternative to traditional lip filler
  • Anyone who would like to see more of the upper lip when they smile, without changing lip volume

How long does a lip flip last?

The effect of a lip flip typically lasts a few months, and repeat treatments are needed to maintain it. Like other anti-wrinkle treatments, the effect builds over the first one to two weeks.
