What a lip flip does

A lip flip uses a prescription muscle-relaxing treatment around selected upper-lip muscles to subtly change how the lip sits when smiling or at rest. It does not add volume.

How it differs from filler

Lip filler uses dermal filler to add hydration, structure, shape or volume. A lip flip changes muscle behaviour. Some clients need one, some may prefer the other, and some are not suitable for either.

Who might ask about it?

• Clients whose top lip rolls under slightly when smiling.
• Clients wanting a very subtle change without added filler volume.
• Clients who understand the result is modest and temporary.

Why consultation matters

The mouth is highly functional. Aesthetx will discuss suitability, risks and whether filler or no treatment may be more appropriate.
