The Lip Flip: Fuller Lips Without Filler

A lip flip uses a few precisely placed units of Botox along the upper lip border to relax the muscle that curls your lip inward when you smile.

The lip “flips” subtly outward: more visible pink, a softer smile, no added volume, no filler.

The Lip Flip at TONIIK: 15 Minutes, Zero Downtime

Best for: gummy smiles, lips that disappear when smiling, first-timers not ready for filler, or lip filler patients who want extra definition.

The details

  • Time: 15 minutes
  • Units: just a few, placed along the upper lip border
  • Results: visible in 5 to 7 days, lasting 8 to 12 weeks
  • Downtime: zero (just skip straws and whistling for a day or two)

It is one of the smallest treatments we offer, and your injector confirms the plan and its cost with you at the consultation before placing a single unit.

Many patients combine a lip flip with filler: the flip changes lip posture while filler adds volume, so the two work on different layers of the same result.

FAQ

A flip changes lip posture (subtle, a few units of Botox, ~10 weeks); filler adds volume (visible, 6 to 12 months). Many patients do both.

It is one of the quickest and smallest treatments on our menu: a few units of Botox placed along the upper lip border in a 15-minute visit. Your injector quotes it for you at the consultation, before anything is placed.

Results appear in 5 to 7 days and last 8 to 12 weeks. Many patients re-treat every 2 to 3 months or pair the flip with filler for longer-lasting shape.

Wait 24 to 48 hours; the muscle is adjusting.

MJ is fantastic! I was nervous and had a lot of questions but she was incredibly kind and answered all of them. My face is so much more balanced now and she was committed to helping me achieve the natural looking results I wanted.

I had an amazing experience with MJ! I saw her work on one of her other clients via Instagram and knew I had to go to her for Biofiller-I wanted something natural for my under eyes and I liked the before/after I saw on one of her other clients.

MJ is amazing! I look 10-15 years younger! MJ and her staff are so friendly, and she does amazing work! I never realized the artistry in sculpting a person’s face, trying to create symmetry in an assymetrical face, all while making you look natural.
