TREATMENT BENEFITS
NATURAL-LOOKING POUT
By precisely relaxing the muscles around the lip, the treatment encourages the upper lip to roll slightly outward. This results in a soft, natural-looking pout that enhances your smile and overall facial harmony, ensuring you retain your authentic expressions.
SUBTLE LIP ENHANCEMENT
Our Lip Flip Botox treatment provides a delicate and natural enhancement to your upper lip. It creates the subtle illusion of increased volume by gently everting the lip, perfect for those who want a refined look without the added fullness of dermal fillers.
MORE DEFINED LIP LINE & CUPID'S BOW
The Lip Flip can subtly define the border of your upper lip and accentuate your cupid's bow. This refined contour contributes to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing lip shape.
REDUCED MILD GUMMY SMILE
For individuals with a mild gummy smile (where a small amount of gum is visible above the upper teeth when smiling), a Lip Flip can help to gently lower the upper lip's position, reducing gum show for a more balanced smile.

WHAT IS LIP FLIP BOTOX?
Lip Flip Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses small, precise injections of botulinum toxin into the upper lip's orbicularis oris muscle. This relaxes the muscle, allowing the upper lip to gently roll or 'flip' outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip without adding any volume.
HOW DOES A LIP FLIP WORK?
By injecting Botox into the very edge of the upper lip muscle, its activity is subtly reduced. This relaxes the muscle fibres that typically pull the lip inward, allowing the lip to naturally evert. This exposes more of the pink vermillion border, giving the illusion of a fuller lip and a more defined cupid's bow.
HOW IS A LIP FLIP DIFFERENT FROM LIP FILLER?
The main difference is volume. Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid to add physical volume and shape to the lips, making them larger. A Lip Flip, on the other hand, uses Botox to relax the lip muscle, causing the lip to roll outward and appear fuller without adding any actual volume. It's ideal for a more subtle enhancement.
WILL A LIP FLIP AFFECT MY SPEAKING OR EATING?
When performed by our skilled practitioners at Look Glowing, a Lip Flip is precisely targeted to relax only the superficial muscle fibres, without impacting your ability to speak, eat, or move your mouth normally. Very rarely, some temporary, mild difficulty with straw use or certain pronunciations may occur, but this is uncommon and temporary.
CAN A LIP FLIP BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Yes, a Lip Flip can often be safely and effectively combined with other aesthetic treatments for a more comprehensive lip and smile enhancement. It is frequently paired with lip filler for those who desire both volume and a subtle eversion, or with Gummy Smile Correction Botox for a more balanced smile. During your personalised consultation, we can discuss a holistic treatment plan.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Any side effects associated with a Lip Flip are typically mild and transient. These might include slight redness, minor swelling, or minimal bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few hours to a few days. Our experienced practitioners prioritise your safety and comfort and will discuss any potential, rare side effects during your consultation.
