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
  • Allows the upper lip to curl slightly
  • Makes your lips appear fuller, especially while laughing
  • Maintains your natural facial expression

Benefits of a lip flip with botulinum toxin

  • Without fillers or surgery
  • Quickly visible result: between day 3 and 7
  • Short treatment of 10–15 minutes
  • No recovery time: you can continue with your day immediately
  • Natural result: your own lip, just a little bit better

Can a lip flip also be used preventively?

Yes, absolutely. A lip flip is increasingly chosen as a preventive treatment against the thinning of the upper lip due to ageing or frequent laughing. By slightly reducing muscle activity, your upper lip remains fuller and you prevent it from pulling too far inwards.

How many treatments do you need?

For most people, one treatment is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Because the action of botulinum toxin is temporary, we advise repeating the treatment every 2 to 3 months for a lasting result. After multiple treatments, the muscle can even “unlearn” how to contract powerfully.

Is the effect permanent after multiple treatments?

The lip flip is a temporary treatment, but with repeated use, the effect can subtly last longer. Muscle activity decreases over time, meaning your upper lip retains a more beautiful shape even between treatments.

Frequently asked questions about lip flip with botulinum toxin

How long does the effect remain visible?

On average 2 to 3 months. After that, you can repeat the treatment for a lasting result.

Does it hurt?

The injections are given with a very thin needle. Most people feel only a slight prick. A numbing cream is available on request.

When will I see results?

Between day 3 and 7, the result becomes visible. The final effect is optimal after about 2 weeks.

Will my facial expression remain natural?

Yes. You remain completely yourself, only with a slightly more subtle, beautiful lip line.

What if I am not satisfied with the result?

During a free review appointment (between week 2 and 3) we can look at the result together. If necessary, a touch-up can be performed.
