A lip flip is an injection-based, non-surgical treatment to make your lips appear fuller without increasing their volume. This cosmetic procedure involves injecting Botox (botulinum toxin) into the edges of your lips in order to relax specific muscle fibers. This causes your lips to flip outward and become more pronounced.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Lip Flip?
A lip flip is most suited for individuals who want fuller lips without having the extra volume. You may also benefit from this treatment if your lips curl inside the mouth when you smile.
Additionally, a lip flip can help reduce the appearance of vertical fine lines and wrinkles formed around the mouth as you age. Your aesthetician will inject botulinum toxin into the areas around the mouth, smoothening those small creases.
You can discuss your candidacy criteria in detail with your doctor or aesthetician.
What Does A Botox Lip Flip Do?
When injected into the area bordering the upper lip, Botox relaxes a part of the muscle, causing the lip to roll outward slightly. This way, the treated lip appears more voluminous than before. Not only does this treatment transform your thin lips into a more defined pout, but it also treats vertical fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
How Is Lip Flip Done?
A lip flip is a quick procedure usually performed in an outpatient setting.
A numbing solution may be applied to the treatment area to desensitize it against the injection’s prickings. Afterward, a healthcare provider injects botulinum toxin into the corners of the mouth and cupid bow.
The most common botulinum toxin brand used in a lip flip procedure is Botox®, but other options may also be considered, such as:
- Xeomin®
- Dysport®
- Jeauveau®
A lip flip procedure generally comes into effect in a week; when it does, the treated lips appear poutier without having an actual increase in lip volume.
How Much Does Lip Flipping Cost?
The cost of lip flipping in Dubai starts from 1500 AED but may vary from person to person, depending on:
- The treatment area
- The expertise of your aesthetician
- The geographic location of the clinic
How painful is a lip flip?
In general, a lip flip is not a painful treatment. However, a sensation of sharp stretching may be felt at the injection site, but treatment recipients describe it as minimal discomfort. You may continue to have mild discomfort for 24 hours, after which it fades away.
Does a lip flip look natural?
According to most recipients, a lip flip would offer more natural results than lip fillers. But as a rule of thumb, it comes down to the practitioner’s expertise.
How long does lip flip last?
A lip flip may last two to five months, after which its effects start fading. Repeat treatment will help you regain that desired pout.
