Our Lip Flip is a precise, micro-dose wrinkle relaxer treatment designed to gently roll the upper lip outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip without adding volume. This is an ideal option if you want a subtle enhancement, better balance between upper and lower lips, or more visible pink lip when you smile. We place very small amounts of neuromodulator along the border of the upper lip to relax the overactive muscle that tucks the lip inward. As that muscle softens, the lip margin unfurls slightly, giving a soft lift rather than a "filled" look. The result is a refined, natural enhancement that preserves your unique lip shape.

Treatment takes about 10 - 15 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no required downtime. You may notice a light, temporary sensation of weakness when using a straw or pronouncing certain sounds, which typically resolves as you acclimate to the new muscle balance. Visible changes begin to appear within several days, with full effect at around 10 - 14 days and a typical duration of 6 - 8 weeks. We often recommend the Lip Flip as:

• A first step for patients considering future lip filler but wanting to start conservatively.
• A subtle refinement for those who already have filler and desire additional definition without extra volume.
• A quick, event-ready polish that can be scheduled close to photos or special occasions.

During your consultation, we assess lip proportion, dental show, and overall facial balance to determine if a Lip Flip alone, or in combination with dermal filler, will best match your goals. Our priority is controlled, precise dosing that enhances the upper lip while maintaining natural expression and function. This service is available as a standalone procedure or integrated into a broader perioral rejuvenation plan for harmonized lower-face results in Bay Shore, NY.
