Lip Flip

Feel like your upper lip disappears when you smile? A Lip Flip gently relaxes key muscles so your top lip rolls outward, creating a fuller, more confident grin—without filler or surgery.

Lip Flip

What Is Lip Flip?

A Lip Flip is a delicate neurotoxin treatment—sometimes called a “Botox® Lip Flip”—that targets the orbicularis oris muscle around your mouth. By relaxing this ring of muscle, a small band of your pink lip shows more, giving the illusion of volume and a defined Cupid’s bow. Results bloom in 3–5 days, peak at 2 weeks and last 8–12 weeks with virtually no downtime.

Ideal for: anyone who wants a subtler boost than dermal fillers or worries about “duck-lip” bulk.

How Lip Flip Works

  1. Prep & anesthesia:

    Brief consult and cleansing; optional topical numbing—no general anesthesia.

  2. Micro-injections

    Your board-certified Leva surgeon places 4–6 pinpoint injections just above the vermilion border.

  3. Treatment time

    ≈5 minutes chair time; you're free to drive afterward.

  4. After-care

    Stay upright 4 hours, skip straws and whistling for 24 hours.

  5. Follow-up milestones

    Photo check at 2 weeks; doctor-guided follow-up every 3 months for maintenance.

FAQs - Lip Flip

Does a Lip Flip replace lip fillers?
No—Lip Flip redistributes existing lip tissue, while fillers add volume. Many patients start with a flip and later combine both for fuller yet natural lips.
How long does a Lip Flip last?
Expect 8–12 weeks before the muscle regains full strength; repeat visits maintain your results.
Will the injections hurt?
Most feel tiny pricks that rate 1–2/10 on a pain scale; numbing cream is available.
Can I drink from a straw afterward?
Wait 24 hours to prevent product migration and ensure even settling.
What are the side effects?
Temporary swelling or a small bruise can appear. Rarely, slight speech changes or drooling occur but resolve as the neurotoxin wears off.
How much does a Lip Flip cost?
We review an exact quote during your visit—transparent pricing with no surprises.
