Refine Your Smile with
Subtle Upper Lip Enhancement
A lip flip is a non-surgical lip treatment designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip by reshaping its outline and increasing visible fullness. Rather than adding volume, this cosmetic lip treatment gently relaxes the muscles around the mouth to create the appearance of a more defined and balanced upper lip.
Whether you’re looking to improve lip symmetry, reduce a gummy smile, or explore a subtle lip enhancement, a lip flip treatment offers a refined way to enhance your natural lip shape without altering overall volume.
What Is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a cosmetic lip treatment that targets the muscles around the mouth, particularly those responsible for the upper lip’s movement. By carefully relaxing these muscles, the upper lip gently rolls outward, exposing more of the pink tissue and creating a fuller-looking shape.
Unlike other lip enhancement treatments that focus on increasing lip volume, a lip flip reshapes the upper lip by changing how it sits and moves. It’s commonly chosen by individuals who want to refine their smile, soften vertical lip lines, or create a more pronounced lip border.
What Concerns Can a Lip Flip Address?
This lip reshaping treatment is suitable for addressing several aesthetic concerns, including:
- Disappearing or tucked-in upper lip when smiling
- Uneven or asymmetrical upper lip shape
- Fine lines around the lips
- Lip line definition
- Gummy smile (mild cases)
- Desire for a more balanced smile without added volume
What Are the Benefits?
A lip flip offers a range of benefits for those seeking a gentle cosmetic lip treatment:
- Enhances the shape of the upper lip without increasing volume
- Improves the appearance of lip symmetry
- Softens the appearance of fine lines above the lips
- Helps reduce the appearance of a gummy smile
- Supports a more defined lip line
- Subtle results that complement natural facial proportions
Am I a Suitable Candidate?
You may be suitable for a lip flip treatment if you’re looking for a subtle enhancement to your upper lip shape or wish to improve smile aesthetics without volume-focused treatments.
This treatment may be ideal for those with:
- A thin or under-pronounced upper lip
- Mild asymmetry in the lips
- A desire for more visible definition
- Lip lines that become more prominent when speaking or smiling
A consultation with one of our trained professionals will help determine if a lip flip is the most appropriate approach based on your unique lip shape and aesthetic goals.
How Does a Lip Flip Work?
During the procedure, the lip flip technique involves applying a small amount of product to specific muscles around the mouth, typically the orbicularis oris. This relaxes the muscle activity that pulls the upper lip inward, allowing it to gently curl outward and reveal more of the lip’s natural tissue. The goal is not to add volume but rather to subtly reshape the appearance of the upper lip and improve the way it moves in relation to the rest of the face.
Lip Flip Treatment at Prophile Clinics
Consultation
Every treatment begins with a personalised consultation. Our trained professionals will assess your lip shape, discuss your desired outcome and determine whether a lip flip is the right solution for your goals. We’ll also take into account your medical history and ensure the treatment plan aligns with your needs.
Procedure
The procedure itself is brief and typically takes less than 15 minutes. The product is carefully applied to the targeted area using a precise technique to achieve natural-looking results. Most clients describe the sensation as mild and there is minimal disruption to normal activities afterward.
Results
Initial effects generally begin to appear within a few days, with full visible results developing over one to two weeks. The upper lip gradually appears more defined and balanced, with improved visibility of the lip line and a softened appearance of lines around the mouth.
Results typically last between two to three months, depending on the individual.
Post-Treatment Guidelines
To help support the best results and reduce the risk of irritation, we recommend the following:
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 4 hours
- Refrain from strenuous physical activity or elevated heart rate for the rest of the day
- Remain upright for several hours after treatment
- Avoid applying makeup or skincare directly on the area for the first 24 hours
- Do not use active skincare ingredients (such as exfoliants or acids) on or near the lip area for 2 to 3 days
Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your needs at the time of your appointment.
Are There Any Risks or Side Effects?
As with any cosmetic treatment, there is the potential for temporary side effects. These may include:
- Mild swelling or redness at the site
- Light bruising in some cases
- Temporary difficulty with puckering or whistling
- A slight feeling of tightness in the upper lip
Most effects are short-lived and subside within a few days. Any concerns will be discussed during your consultation.
How Much Does a Lip Flip Cost?
The cost of your lip flip treatment will depend on your individual goals and whether it’s combined with any other treatments. A full breakdown of the cost will be provided during your consultation after assessing your suitability and aesthetic preferences.
