Unlock a More Youthful Smile

Our smile is the gateway to our personality. So, for those who have seen the expressiveness of their smile fade over the years, the lip flip offers a chance for revitalization. This non-surgical cosmetic treatment uses Botox or other neuromodulators to enhance the appearance of the upper lip. The procedure involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the muscles around the upper lip, causing the lip to relax and roll slightly upward. This creates the illusion of a fuller, more defined upper lip without the need for fillers.

Is a Lip Flip Right for Me?

A lip flip is an excellent option for those looking to enhance the appearance of their upper lip without the use of fillers. Good candidates for the procedure include:

  • Individuals with thin or asymmetrical lips
  • Those who want to enhance the appearance of their upper lip without adding volume
  • Individuals who have a gummy smile
  • Those who want to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance

Start Your Journey with a Consultation

The best way to see if a lip flip suits you is by scheduling a one-on-one consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Hamawy, at our Princeton, NJ, office. During your consultation, he will discuss your concerns and desired results to understand your expectations and ensure they are right-sized. Dr. Hamawy will analyze your facial structure and may recommend additional noninvasive treatments, such as fillers or chemicals, to achieve the desired outcome. We'll also take photographs for your medical record and to track your progress. Dr. Hamawy will work with you to create a customized treatment plan based on your unique anatomical features.

Your consultation is also a great time to discuss pricing. If you are deemed a good candidate for a lip flip, you will have the opportunity to schedule an appointment for the procedure at this time. However, there is no pressure to schedule an appointment immediately, as our goal during the consultation is to ensure that you feel comfortable and informed with all the necessary tools to make an informed decision. Above all, PrincetonMD believes that wellness comes from making the right decisions for yourself. We offer ourselves as a humble guide in this process.

How the Procedure Works

The lip flip procedure is a quick and non-invasive treatment that takes less than 15 minutes to complete. During the procedure, small amounts of Botox are injected into the muscles around the upper lip using a fine needle. The process is virtually painless, and most patients experience only minor discomfort or a slight pinch during the injection process.

Recovery and Results

After the procedure, you may experience minor swelling or bruising around the injection site. However, these side effects typically subside within a few days. You can resume your normal activities immediately following the procedure, but we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or actions that may cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours. After a lip flip procedure, you can expect to see a subtle but noticeable enhancement in the appearance of your upper lip. The lip flip creates the illusion of a fuller, more defined upper lip without adding volume, resulting in a natural-looking enhancement. You may also notice a reduced appearance of a gummy smile as the muscles that pull the upper lip upward are relaxed. The results of a lip flip typically last for three to four months, after which time you can schedule a follow-up appointment to maintain your results. Overall, a lip flip is an excellent option for those looking to enhance their natural beauty and achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
