Clinical Insight: Express Med Spa Frankfort

“The lip flip is a subtle, high-impact treatment. By relaxing the orbicularis oris muscle above the lip, the upper lip gently rolls outward when you smile, creating a fuller look without adding synthetic volume.”

- Stephanie Guenther, RN, Aesthetic Nurse Injector

Botox Lip Flip vs. Dermal Filler

Unlike dermal fillers which physically add volume using hyaluronic acid gel, a Botox Lip Flip relaxes the muscle surrounding the mouth. This causes the upper lip to "flip" slightly outward when smiling, preventing it from thinning or disappearing.

Dosage and Longevity

A lip flip requires very few units, typically 4 to 8 units total. Because the lip area is constantly active during speaking and eating, a lip flip lasts approximately 6 to 8 weeks.
