What to Expect Before and After a Lip Flip

At Seacoast Rejuvenation Center, we are pleased to offer the Lip Flip procedure—a popular, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that subtly enhances the natural beauty and fullness of your lips without the use of dermal fillers.

The Lip Flip involves precise injections of botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) into the muscles surrounding the upper lip. By targeting these muscles near the lip’s border, we gently relax their tension, causing the upper lip to roll outward or “flip” upward. This results in a naturally fuller appearance, revealing more of the lip’s pink tissue without adding artificial volume.

The procedure takes only a few minutes, with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately. Initial improvements are visible within a few days, and full results typically appear within one to two weeks. Results generally last two to three months, after which follow-up treatments can be scheduled to maintain your desired look.

If you’re seeking a subtle, natural-looking enhancement to your lips without significant downtime, the Lip Flip is an ideal solution. Our dedicated team is committed to helping you achieve a rejuvenated, confident appearance.

A lip flip can be combined with other cosmetic treatments to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. The procedure involves injecting botulinum toxin (like Botox) into the upper lip area, which relaxes the muscles and subtly enhances the lip’s fullness and definition. It pairs particularly well with dermal fillers, which can provide additional volume and shape.

Many patients also choose to complement their lip flip with advanced skincare treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapies. These treatments target fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture, helping to create a more radiant and youthful appearance.

Our experienced providers evaluate your aesthetic goals, discuss your medical history, and determine the safest and most effective combination of treatments tailored specifically for you. Our goal is always to help you achieve natural-looking, beautiful results that enhance your unique features and improve your overall confidence.

We offer the popular “lip flip,” a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to subtly yet effectively enhance your lips. Our skilled team uses precise techniques to gently roll the upper lip outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined pout. This procedure provides natural-looking improvements—ideal for those seeking subtle enhancements rather than dramatic transformations.

Patients typically begin noticing gradual results within a few days following a lip flip treatment, with optimal results becoming visible in approximately 7 to 14 days. The upper lip appears slightly fuller and more youthful, balancing beautifully with the lower lip. Many patients also find that the procedure softens a “gummy smile” by relaxing the muscles around the lip, reducing the visibility of gum tissue when smiling.

The final results depend on factors such as individual facial anatomy, skin elasticity, and muscle activity, along with the expertise of the injector. For those seeking more noticeable enhancement, combining a lip flip with dermal fillers can provide additional volume and definition. Maintenance treatments every few months can help preserve the desired appearance. A lip flip offers a low-risk, non-invasive way to enhance natural beauty with subtle yet impactful results, making it a convenient option for those seeking an effortless rejuvenation.

Dr. Keenan Al-Hojerry, MD specializes in advanced cosmetic treatments designed to help you look and feel your best, including our popular Lip Flip procedure. A Lip Flip involves injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin (commonly Botox) into the muscles above the upper lip. This treatment relaxes the muscle, allowing the lip to subtly roll outward, creating a fuller, more defined, and rejuvenated look.

After the procedure, initial improvements may be noticeable within a few days, with full results typically becoming visible in 7 to 14 days. The timeline for optimal results can vary depending on factors such as metabolism, dosage, and muscle responsiveness. If, after two weeks, the results are not as expected, a follow-up consultation is encouraged to assess and adjust if necessary. A lip flip is a temporary enhancement, lasting approximately two to four months. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the desired lip appearance.
