Treatment & Technology

Available at clinics in Calgary, the Lip Flip is a cosmetic option for individuals seeking to gently refine the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume. This non-surgical procedure relaxes targeted muscles around the mouth, allowing the upper lip to roll slightly outward and enhance its contour.

Often selected to reduce gum show or subtly balance lip proportions, the Lip Flip is part of a broader aesthetic approach focused on preserving natural facial harmony. It may be recommended on its own or as a complement to other treatments depending on your anatomy and goals.

Each session begins with a medical consultation to assess your profile, discuss your expectations, and determine whether this option suits your overall plan. Injections are performed by experienced professionals in a clinical setting, following strict protocols.

Downtime is minimal, and some mild sensitivity or swelling may occur temporarily. Follow-up guidance is provided to ensure proper aftercare.

Treatable Areas

The Lip Flip injection treats on upper lip and corners of the mouth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Lip Flip?

A Lip Flip is a non-invasive procedure using injectable neuromodulators to enhance the upper lip’s appearance by relaxing the surrounding muscles, creating a gentle outward “flip.”

What to Expect During a Lip Flip Procedure?

The procedure involves a few small injections of botulinum toxin into the upper lip area. It typically takes 10-15 minutes and requires no downtime, making it a quick and convenient option.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is ideal for individuals looking for a subtle enhancement of their upper lip without the use of fillers. It works well for those who want to reduce the appearance of a “gummy smile” or achieve a more balanced lip shape.

When Can I See Results from a Lip Flip?

Results typically begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible after about 7-10 days.

Does a Lip Flip Affect Speech?

In most cases, a lip flip does not affect speech. However, some patients may notice slight changes in muscle control when drinking from a straw or whistling. These effects are temporary.

Lip Flip vs. Lip Fillers: What’s the Difference?

  • Lip Flip: Uses botulinum toxin to enhance the natural curve of the upper lip by relaxing muscles. It does not add volume.
  • Lip Fillers: Use hyaluronic acid-based injectables to increase lip volume and provide a plumper appearance.

Both options can complement each other depending on the desired outcome.

How Long Do Lip Flip Results Last?

Results from a lip flip typically last 2-3 months. Regular touch-ups are required to maintain the effects.

Are There Any Side Effects of a Lip Flip?

Side effects are minimal and may include slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Rarely, patients may experience temporary muscle weakness or difficulty performing certain lip movements. Always consult your provider for personalized advice.
