Reveal More Upper Lip When You Smile

The Lip Flip in Yonkers is a quick Botox treatment that subtly enhances the appearance of the upper lip without adding filler volume. Small amounts of Botox are strategically placed around the mouth to relax the muscle that pulls the lip inward. As the muscle softens, the upper lip rolls outward, creating a fuller, more defined look when you smile, laugh, or talk. It’s a favorite for clients who want natural-looking enhancement with a softer, effortless vibe.

What Does The Lip Flip Treat?

The Lip Flip may be subtle, but it can make a surprisingly noticeable difference in overall lip balance and the appearance of the smile. This treatment is commonly used to address:

  • A thin upper lip when smiling
  • A gummy smile with excess gum show
  • A flatter or less expressive smile
  • An upper lip that curls inward
  • Lack of visible upper lip definition
  • Mild lip asymmetry
  • Fine lines around the upper lip

What Are the Benefits of The Lip Flip?

One of the reasons clients love The Lip Flip is that it delivers subtle enhancement without dramatically changing the lips. It’s quick, low-commitment, and great for clients who want a softer, more natural-looking refresh. Benefits of The Lip Flip include:

  • A fuller-looking upper lip without filler
  • More visible upper lip when smiling
  • A softer appearance for gummy smiles
  • Natural-looking enhancement with minimal product
  • Quick treatment sessions with little downtime
  • Improved upper lip definition and balance
  • A more relaxed, effortless-looking smile
  • Subtle results that don’t look overdone
  • Easy maintenance appointments throughout the year

What Happens During The Lip Flip Treatment?

Your provider begins by evaluating upper lip movement at rest and while smiling, since muscle activity plays a huge role in how the final result looks. After identifying the ideal injection points, small units of Botox are carefully placed into the superficial fibers of the orbicularis oris muscle along the upper lip border using an ultra-fine needle. The treatment only takes a few minutes.

Over the next several days, the Botox gradually relaxes the muscle responsible for pulling the upper lip inward. As tension softens, the upper lip subtly everts, or rolls outward, making the pink lip more visible and the smile appear softer. Strategic dosing is incredibly important here because the goal is natural movement and balance, not stiffness or an overtreated look.

The Lip Flip Frequently Asked Questions

How long does The Lip Flip last?

Most clients enjoy their results for about six to eight weeks, although this can vary depending on muscle strength, metabolism, and how expressive your mouth movements are. Because the orbicularis oris muscle is constantly active when you talk, eat, smile, and drink, The Lip Flip tends to wear off a little faster than other Botox treatments.

When will I start seeing results?

You may notice subtle changes within a few days, but full results usually develop around 10 to 14 days after treatment. The change is gradual, which is one reason clients love it. Your lips still look like you, just softer, more balanced, and a little more visible when you smile.

Does The Lip Flip make lips bigger?

Not technically. The Lip Flip does not add physical volume like a filler does. Instead, it relaxes the muscle around the upper lip so more of the lip becomes visible. Think of it as enhancing what you already have rather than adding fullness from inside the lip.

Can The Lip Flip be combined with filler?

Absolutely. Many clients combine The Lip Flip with lip fillers for customized results. Botox can improve upper-lip movement and the appearance of the smile, while fillers can add structure, hydration, or volume. Together, they can create a beautifully balanced smile when appropriate.

Will my smile look frozen?

Not when it’s done properly. At prosperAESTHETICS®, we focus on strategic dosing and subtle placement to maintain movement. The goal is never to stiffen the mouth or make expressions look unnatural. We want your smile to still feel like you.

Are there any risks with The Lip Flip?

Like any injectable treatment, there are possible side effects, although serious complications are uncommon. Mild swelling, tenderness, bruising, or temporary difficulty with things like using a straw, whistling, or pronouncing certain words can happen while the muscle adjusts. These effects are usually temporary and improve as your body settles into the treatment.

Is there downtime after The Lip Flip?

Most clients go right back to normal activities immediately after their appointment. You may have slight redness or tiny bumps at the injection sites for a short time, but they usually fade quickly. We typically recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for a few hours after treatment.
