What is a Lip Flip?

A Lip Flip is a neurotoxin injection technique that targets the orbicularis oris muscle the circular muscle that surrounds your mouth. A small, precise amount of neurotoxin is placed along the upper lip border, which relaxes that muscle just enough to let the lip gently roll outward. The result is a subtle increase in visible lip surface without adding any volume underneath.

Unlike lip filler, a Lip Flip does not add fullness in the traditional sense. It works with the lip you already have, making it appear slightly larger or more defined especially when you smile. Patients often describe it as their lips looking like the “best version of themselves.”

At Express Med Spa, every Lip Flip is performed by a licensed nurse practitioner or supervised clinical professional. Your provider will assess your lip shape and muscle anatomy at the start of your appointment to confirm the treatment is appropriate for your goals. The injection itself typically takes under 10 minutes.

Pricing Notes: Price is a flat-rate treatment that includes the neurotoxin dose applied to the upper lip, no per-unit billing for this service. The number of units used is built into the treatment price. Pricing may vary slightly based on individual anatomy; your provider will confirm at time of appointment.

The Lip Flip is a good fit for patients who want a more defined or slightly fuller upper lip without the commitment or cost of dermal filler. It works particularly well for patients with a thin upper lip that disappears when they smile, those who want a subtle refresh rather than a dramatic change, or those who are new to lip treatments and want to start conservatively. It is not a replacement for lip filler patients who want significant added volume will be better served by Lip Filler Augmentation. Your provider will help you determine which approach or combination is right for you at your consultation.
Treatment Disclaimer: Individual results vary. Neurotoxin treatments are temporary and results depend on individual anatomy, muscle activity, metabolism, and the number of units placed. The Lip Flip does not add volume and is not a substitute for dermal filler. A follow-up assessment is recommended at 2 weeks post-treatment. All treatments at Express Med Spa are performed or supervised by licensed medical professionals.
