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
