Botulinum toxin · Lip flip
Lip flip
A lip flip uses a very small dose of botulinum toxin along the edge of the upper lip. The muscle that rolls the lip inward relaxes, and the lip turns slightly outward. It looks a little fuller, without anything added.
It is for a thin upper lip, or one that disappears when you smile, when you do not want filler. The difference is subtle. If you want real volume, look at lip filler; if you want only the shape of the lip, this is it.
A 15-minute session, €99. It lasts 6 to 8 weeks.
What changes with a lip flip
A very small dose of botulinum toxin along the edge of the upper lip. The muscle that rolls the lip inward relaxes and the lip turns slightly outward. It looks a little fuller, with nothing added.
Is it for you?
A thin upper lip, or one that disappears when you smile, when you do not want filler. The difference is subtle by design. On a lip that is already full it hardly shows, and we say so.
What happens in the session
Four very shallow injections along the edge of the lip. You feel them, and they pass in seconds. Fifteen minutes.
What you'll see, and when
First signs at 3 days, complete by day 14. It lasts 6 to 8 weeks, less than other areas, because the dose is very small and the mouth works all day.
After the treatment
Nothing to recover from. In the first days the lip can feel a little different when you drink through a straw or whistle; it passes.
Why it looks natural
The flip is subtle by design: a very small dose along the edge of the upper lip, so the muscle relaxes and the lip turns slightly outward with nothing added. There is no volume to overdo, no gel to migrate. On a lip that is already full it hardly shows, and we say so before treating rather than after. When real volume is the goal, that is lip filler: a different tool for a different job.
Honest answers
Will it show? First signs at 3 days, complete by day 14. The lip looks a little fuller; nothing has been added to it.
Does it hurt? Four very shallow injections along the edge of the lip. You feel them, and they pass in seconds.
What if I don't like it? The toxin cannot be dissolved, but here it wears off faster than anywhere else (6 to 8 weeks), and the dose is very small to begin with.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we hear every day. Everything else belongs in the consultation.
How long does it last?
Between 6 and 8 weeks. Less than other areas, because the dose is very small and the mouth muscle works all day.
Does it hurt?
Four very shallow injections along the edge of the lip. You feel them, and they pass in seconds.
When do I see the result?
You see it start at 3 days; the day-14 result is the complete one.
Can I have it if I already have filler?
Yes. The lip flip works on the muscle, the filler on the volume. They do not interfere.
How is it different from lip filler?
Filler adds hyaluronic acid and gives volume; it lasts 4 to 6 months and costs €189. A lip flip adds nothing; it turns the lip outward, lasts 6 to 8 weeks and costs €99.
Will my smile look natural?
Yes, with the right dose. In the first days the lip can feel a little different when you drink through a straw or whistle; it passes.
Can both lips be treated?
The upper lip is where it works. The lower lip rarely needs it and we do not usually treat it.
Is it for every lip?
It works best on a thin upper lip or one that rolls in when you smile. On a lip that is already full it hardly shows.
