Gummy Smile Correction
Offered at your clinic

Lip Flip Kelowna

The Lip Flip offered at our Dermapure clinics in Kelowna is an injectable treatment that relaxes the muscle around the upper lip, the orbicularis oris. As the muscle relaxes, the upper lip rolls slightly outward, so the border of the lip becomes more visible when you smile, and it can also help soften a gummy smile.

The Lip Flip is most often considered by patients who would like a subtle change to the upper lip without adding volume through filler. The effect is temporary, and a personalized plan is typically built around a few sessions per year depending on individual goals. The Lip Flip can be received on its own or planned alongside other in-clinic treatments within a broader treatment plan.

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

Personalized Assessment
Your journey begins with a consultation with our expert injectors, who will assess your lip structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. This ensures a customized treatment plan that meets your unique needs.
Step 2
Take Pictures
We capture baseline photographs before treatment to track your transformation and showcase the results post-procedure.
Step 3
Numbing Gel Application
To ensure your comfort, a numbing gel is applied to the treatment area, minimizing any discomfort during the procedure.

Our experienced practitioners deliver precise injections into the targeted areas of your lips. The treatment typically takes 15–20 minutes, making it a convenient option for even the busiest schedules.

With little to no downtime, you can resume your day immediately. Some swelling or mild redness may occur but typically subsides within 1–2 days.

The results of a Lip Flip generally last 6–8 weeks. For consistent and lasting enhancement, we recommend scheduling follow-up treatments as needed. Our team will guide you in creating a maintenance plan tailored to your aesthetic preferences.
