Lip Flip Botox
Lip Flip Botox in Vancouver, BC
Lip Flip Botox is a non-surgical treatment designed to subtly enhance the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume or using dermal fillers. By relaxing specific muscles around the upper lip, this technique allows the lip to gently roll outward, creating a more defined and balanced look—especially when smiling.
At Botox Vancouver, our Botox-Certified Nurse Injector focuses on precision and natural-looking results, helping you achieve a refreshed, confident smile while maintaining full facial harmony.
What Is Lip Flip Botox?
Lip Flip Botox is a cosmetic Botox treatment that targets the muscle just above the upper lip (orbicularis oris). Instead of adding fullness like lip fillers, Botox relaxes this muscle so the upper lip appears slightly lifted and more visible.
This treatment is especially popular among individuals who feel their upper lip disappears when they smile or who want a subtle enhancement without the commitment of dermal filler.
Lip Flip Botox vs Lip Fillers
While both treatments enhance the lips, they work in very different ways.
Lip Flip Botox improves lip appearance by adjusting muscle movement, resulting in a gentle outward “flip” of the upper lip. Lip fillers, on the other hand, add volume and shape using hyaluronic acid.
Lip Flip is ideal for patients seeking a minimal, natural change rather than added fullness.
How the Lip Flip Procedure Works
The treatment involves a small number of precise Botox injections placed just above the upper lip. The procedure itself is quick and typically completed within minutes.
Most patients describe the sensation as minimal discomfort, and no downtime is required. You can return to your normal activities shortly after your appointment.

Results develop gradually over several days and are best appreciated in motion, such as when talking or smiling.
How Long Does Lip Flip Botox Last?
Lip Flip Botox results typically last 6 to 8 weeks, slightly shorter than other Botox treatments due to the active nature of the lip muscles. Many patients choose to repeat the treatment regularly to maintain consistent results.
