The lip flip in Southport

A lip flip is a subtle treatment that uses a tiny amount of a prescription muscle-softening injectable along the upper lip. As the lip eases, it rolls very slightly outward, showing a little more of the lip for a softly fuller look, without adding volume. It complements our anti-wrinkle injection treatments and suits anyone wanting the gentlest possible enhancement.

Natural Results You'll Love

Subtle and natural
A lip flip gives a soft, understated enhancement to the upper lip, ideal if filler feels like too much.
Rather than filling the lip, it reveals a little more of what you already have, so the effect is very natural.
For some people, easing the upper lip also reduces how much gum shows when they smile.

Why the lip flip works

A lip flip works on the muscle rather than the lip itself. A very small amount of a prescription injectable eases the muscle that tucks the upper lip under when you smile or talk, so the lip sits a fraction more outward and looks fuller. The effect is deliberately subtle and shorter-lasting than filler. Because it involves a prescription-only medicine, it can only follow a consultation with our prescriber, who will confirm it is right for you.

Treatment time:

10 to 15 minutes

Downtime:

None to minimal. You can return to normal activities straight away.

What to Expect After Your Treatment

Stay upright for four hours, avoid rubbing the treated area, and skip strenuous exercise, alcohol and heat for the rest of the day so the product settles where it was placed. Full guidance is on our aftercare page.

I can’t recommend Rachel highly enough. This was my very first appointment with Rachel and it certainly won’t be my last, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to really listen and understand what you want to achieve. Rachel has a very natural approach and her attention to detail is amazing. I feel confident knowing I’m in such skilled hands, and the results have been exactly what I hoped for. Thank you, Rachel, for your care, expertise, and for always making the whole experience so positive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trusted and talented practitioner.

I recently had polynucleotide under-eye injections with Rachel, and I couldn’t be more pleased with both the experience and the results so far. From the moment I arrived, Rachel was incredibly welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the treatment thoroughly and made me feel completely comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. The treatment itself was surprisingly pain-free, with minimal discomfort and very little downtime afterwards. I’ve already noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of my under-eye area - it looks brighter, more refreshed, and the fine lines have softened noticeably. As someone who works night shifts in the NHS, tired-looking eyes have always been a concern for me, so seeing such positive results already has been amazing. I’m excited to complete the rest of my treatment course and see the full benefits. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone considering polynucleotide treatments. Her professionalism, expertise, and friendly approach make the whole experience exceptional ❤️
