Gummy Smile Correction
Offered at your clinic

Lip Flip Ottawa

The Lip Flip is a non-surgical injectable procedure performed at our Dermapure clinics in Ottawa. By relaxing specific muscles around the upper lip, the procedure allows the lip to roll slightly outward and reveal a bit more of the lip when smiling, which can also soften the appearance of a gummy smile.

The Lip Flip is most often considered by patients who would like to refine the look of their smile without changing the volume of the lips, or by those concerned with the appearance of a gummy smile. The effect is subtle and temporary, and a personalized plan is typically built around a few sessions per year depending on individual goals. The procedure may be received on its own or planned alongside other in-clinic treatments such as lip fillers or medical-grade skincare protocols within a broader treatment plan.

Because every patient's lip anatomy, goals and medical history are different, the Lip Flip at our Dermapure clinics in Ottawa always begins with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether this procedure is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results, the recovery and the possible side effects, which will be reviewed in detail during your consultation.
