The Lip Flip is a quick, non-surgical treatment that uses a small amount of Botox to relax the muscles above the upper lip. This allows the lip to gently roll outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined shape—without adding volume or using filler. It can also help reduce how much of your gumline shows when you smile, creating a softer, more balanced look.
At Laser Center of Marin, we’ve been performing expert Botox treatments since 2003—long before the Lip Flip became trendy. Our experienced injectors understand the anatomy of the lips and facial muscles, so they know exactly where (and how much) product to use to get a beautiful, natural result. We’ll walk you through the differences between a Lip Flip and filler, and help you choose the best approach based on your facial structure and aesthetic goals. No overdone results—just a subtle, confident enhancement.
A few tiny injections of Botox are placed just above the upper lip, targeting the orbicularis oris muscle. This temporarily relaxes the muscle, allowing the upper lip to "flip" slightly outward and look more defined. The result is a subtly fuller-looking lip, especially when you smile. The treatment takes just a few minutes, with no downtime, and results typically appear within 4–5 days and last about 6–8 weeks.
If you feel like your upper lip disappears when you smile, or you want a subtle enhancement without the commitment of filler, a Lip Flip could be a great option. It’s also a popular choice for first-timers who want to ease into lip treatments. The Lip Flip enhances shape, not volume—so it’s perfect if you're looking for a gentle refresh rather than a plumper pout.
