Frequently asked questions
What does lip flip mean?
A cosmetic tweak where a tiny bit of neurotoxin relaxes the upper lip so it rolls outward and looks fuller, without filler.
Is a lip flip the same as filler?
No. Filler adds volume; a lip flip just relaxes the muscle so the lip appears fuller. It's subtler and temporary.
How long does a lip flip last?
Usually a few weeks to a couple of months, since the neurotoxin wears off faster than filler.
