Lip Flip in Los Angeles
A subtle, natural upper lip enhancement using Botox. No filler needed — just a quick treatment for a beautiful, relaxed pout.
What Is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a quick, minimally invasive treatment that uses a small amount of Botox to relax the muscles around the upper lip. This causes the lip to gently roll outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined upper lip — without the use of dermal fillers.
The lip flip is ideal for clients who want a subtle enhancement, those who feel their upper lip disappears when they smile, or anyone who wants to try a lip treatment before committing to filler.
How It Works
Your provider injects a small number of Botox units (typically 4-8 units) into the orbicularis oris muscle along the upper lip border. The Botox relaxes the muscle, allowing the lip to flip slightly outward. The entire treatment takes about 10 minutes with no downtime.
Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler
- Lip Flip — Uses Botox, no added volume, subtle enhancement, lasts 6-8 weeks, lower cost
- Lip Filler — Uses hyaluronic acid, adds volume and shape, more dramatic results, lasts 6-12 months
Many clients combine a lip flip with lip filler for both shape and volume. Your provider will recommend the best approach based on your goals.

Lip Flip Questions
What is the difference between a lip flip and lip filler?
A lip flip uses a small amount of Botox to relax the orbicularis oris muscle, causing the upper lip to gently roll outward for a subtle pout. Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid to add volume directly. A lip flip is ideal for those who want a subtle enhancement without added volume.
How long does a lip flip last?
A Botox lip flip typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks. Results are shorter than traditional Botox because the lip muscles are used frequently for eating, drinking, and speaking.
When will I see lip flip results?
You may notice initial changes within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible in about 7 to 10 days after treatment.
Does a lip flip hurt?
Most clients describe the lip flip as a quick pinch. The procedure uses only a few units of Botox with an ultra-fine needle, making it one of the most comfortable injectable treatments. Topical numbing cream can be applied for sensitive clients.
