Do you want a subtly fuller upper lip without fillers? Do you notice that your upper lip almost disappears when you laugh? A lip flip with botulinum toxin is a safe way to make your upper lip more visible, without surgery and while retaining your natural appearance. By administering a small amount of muscle relaxant, the upper lip curls slightly. The result: a natural-looking, slightly fuller lip – without adding volume with fillers.
What is a lip flip and why do people choose it?
A lip flip is a cosmetic treatment where small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the muscle around your upper lip. This causes the muscle to relax slightly, causing the upper lip to curl up and appear fuller. This is ideal for people who:
- Want to make their lip appear fuller without fillers
- Suffer from a ‘disappearing’ upper lip when laughing
- Are looking for a natural and subtle improvement
- Want to keep their own lip shape, but want a little more accent
How can botulinum toxin lift your upper lip?
Botulinum toxin, also known as a muscle relaxant, reduces tension in the muscle that pulls the upper lip tightly inwards. By partially relaxing this muscle, the upper lip is “flipped” slightly outwards. This creates a softer, more relaxed appearance and gives the lip that little bit of extra visibility, without adding volume.
What does botulinum toxin do for a lip flip?
- Subtly relaxes the muscle around the upper lip

- Makes your lips appear fuller, especially while laughing
