Lip Flip At Purple Pearl
Refresh, Enhance & Rejuvenate
A lip flip is a subtle injectable treatment that enhances the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume. At Purple Pearl Med Spa, this treatment uses a small amount of neurotoxin to gently relax the muscle above the upper lip. When the muscle relaxes, more of the lip becomes visible when you smile, creating the appearance of fuller lips. The result is a soft, natural enhancement that still looks like you.
What Is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is performed using a neurotoxin such as Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, or Dysport. Rather than adding volume like dermal fillers, the treatment works by relaxing the muscle that pulls the upper lip inward. This allows the lip to roll slightly outward, creating a fuller appearance when you smile.
A lip flip can help:
Enhance the appearance of the upper lip
Improve lip definition
Reduce the appearance of a “gummy smile”
Create a subtle lip enhancement without filler
Many patients choose a lip flip because it offers a natural-looking improvement with minimal treatment.
Lip Flip vs Lip Filler
A lip flip and lip filler are different treatments, and each serves a different purpose.
Lip Flip
Relaxes the muscle above the lip
Creates the appearance of a fuller upper lip
Very subtle enhancement
No added volume
Lip Filler
Adds volume to the lips
Enhances shape and definition
Can dramatically change lip size and contour
During your visit, your provider can help determine which option will best achieve your desired results.
What To Expect During Treatment
A lip flip is a quick and simple treatment that typically takes only a few minutes.
Your provider will place a few small injections into the muscle above the upper lip. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. There is little to no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Results typically begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full results visible within 7–10 days. The effects usually last 2–3 months.
