Treatment info

What the treatment can do

Small top lip? Thins when you smile? Want to enhance your lips, but not ready for filler? Look no further than a lip flip.

This treatment adds lip height and prevents thinning without adding volume. It relaxes the muscles of your upper and lower lips, reducing the natural tension that causes lip thinning. It’s a great option if you aren’t ready for lip filler, or want to complement your lip filler result.

If you’re considering a lip flip, then get in touch with us to see if it’s right for you. Our experienced medical professionals are here to help. We will listen to your concerns, and design a personalised lip treatment plan tailored to your unique preferences.

Suitability

A lip flip is a great option for anyone chasing fuller lips that don’t thin when smiling. It can be done as a standalone treatment, or to complement results achieve with lip fillers.

Preparation

To ensure your lip flip goes to plan, follow our preparation guidelines:

  • Remove all makeup immediately before your appointment
  • Avoid consuming excessive alcohol within 24 hours of your appointment
  • Refrain from intense exercise immediately before your appointment

Aftercare

After your lip flip, proper aftercare is crucial for optimal healing and results:

  • You may notice a very slight weakness to the lip when pursing your lips as the treatment takes effect. This generally resolves quickly on its own.
  • Avoid makeup, excessive alcohol and intense exercise until the following day
  • Refrain from applying pressure to the treated areas for 4 hours
  • Gently apply a wrapped ice pack to the injection sites to minimise swelling and bruising

Results

Enjoy lips that look fuller, and that don’t curl under when you smile with results seen in just 2 weeks. The effect slowly fades over 2-3 months, and you can repeat the treatment as needed.

Further enhance your lips by combining your lip flip with lip fillers for your dream pout.
