Gummy Smile Correction
Offered at your clinic

Lip Flip Vancouver

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

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 used 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 Vancouver 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. Book your personalized consultation with our team in Vancouver.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1
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.
Step 4
Proceed with Injections
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.
Step 5
Return to Normal Activities
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.
