Lip Flip Calgary

A Lip Flip is a non-surgical injectable procedure offered at our Dermapure clinics in Calgary. It targets the orbicularis oris muscle around the upper lip, gently relaxing it so the upper lip rolls slightly outward, offering an alternative to dermal fillers, which add volume.

Book an Appointment

A Lip Flip can be used by patients seeking a subtle change in upper lip presentation without adding volume, and can also help address a gummy smile, where more of the upper gum line is visible during smiling. The procedure may be received on its own, or paired with complementary in-clinic options such as lip fillers or medical-grade skincare protocols, depending on individual goals and anatomy.

Because every patient’s anatomy, goals and medical history are different, Lip Flip at our Dermapure clinics in Calgary always begins with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether a Lip Flip is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.
