Lip Flip: Fuller Lips, Naturally Defined

At Eleven11 Medspa, the Lip Flip is a popular, non-surgical treatment designed to enhance the natural beauty of your lips without adding volume with dermal fillers. By using a small, precise amount of neuromodulator (like Botox, Jeuveau, or Dysport) in specific points around the upper lip, we gently relax the muscle. This allows the lip to subtly "flip" upward and outward, revealing more of your natural lip and creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined pout. It can also effectively reduce the visibility of a "gummy smile." It's a quick, effective, and natural-looking solution for a subtly enhanced smile with minimal to no downtime.

What is a Lip Flip? The Secret to a Fuller Pout

Subtle Enhancement, Beautifully Natural Results

The Lip Flip is a sophisticated, non-surgical aesthetic procedure gaining popularity for its ability to enhance the appearance of the upper lip without adding artificial volume. Unlike traditional lip fillers that add fullness using hyaluronic acid, the Lip Flip works by subtly altering the muscle dynamics around the mouth.

This innovative treatment utilizes a small, precise amount of a neuromodulator (such as Botox®, Jeuveau®, or Dysport®). When expertly injected into the superficial fibers of the orbicularis oris muscle (the muscle that encircles the mouth), the neuromodulator gently relaxes it. This relaxation causes the upper lip to:

  • "Flip" Upward: The relaxed muscle allows the lip's border to roll slightly outward and upward, exposing more of the pink vermillion (the red part of your lip).
  • Create the Illusion of Fullness: This subtle eversion of the lip creates the appearance of a fuller, more defined pout, making your natural lip look more prominent.
  • Reduce a "Gummy Smile": For individuals whose upper lip pulls up significantly when smiling, revealing too much gum, a Lip Flip can help relax that muscle, allowing the lip to cover more of the gum line for a more balanced smile.

The Lip Flip is ideal for those seeking a natural-looking enhancement, preferring definition and a subtle increase in visible lip height over added volume.

Why Choose the Lip Flip?

  1. Subtle but Effective: If you’re looking for a change that’s noticeable but not overly dramatic, the lip flip offers the ideal balance.
  2. Quick and Convenient: Taking only a few minutes, you can get a lip flip during your lunch break and be back at work without anyone being the wiser.
  3. Temporary: Not ready for a long-term commitment? No worries. The effects of a lip flip typically last around 2-3 months.
  4. Cost-effective: Compared to fillers, the lip flip is often a more wallet-friendly option.

How it Works

Neuromodulators (like Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau) are used for the lip flip procedure. A tiny amount is injected into the center of the upper lip, leading the lip to roll slightly upward. This means more of the upper lip is visible, even when you’re not smiling, thus creating the illusion of volume without actually adding any. The lip flip stands out for those who value natural-looking results without the longevity or intensity of fillers. If a subtle enhancement that offers a fresh, youthful look is what you’re after, the lip flip might be your next cosmetic venture.

All Eleven11 Injectors are all professionally trained and medically supervised. For the lip flip procedure, we use Dysport or Jeuveau to deliver softer, more natural looking results.

After the Procedure:

Downtime is minimal to none. You might experience slight bruising at the injection site. Post-procedure, it’s crucial to avoid rubbing the treated area or looking downward for an extended period, as it can cause the product to spread to unintended muscles. Within 3-7 days, the full effect becomes visible. Enjoy your refreshed and fuller filler free lips!
