Lip Flips and Lip Filler - Neurotoxin
Lip Flip + Filler = Dreamy Definition
The Power of Pairing Neurotoxin with Filler for Elevated, Effortless Lips.
Let’s talk lips — specifically, how a tiny tweak to your orbicularis oris muscle can totally elevate your pout (literally) without even adding volume. Yep, we’re talking about the lip flip — the perfect partner to your favorite filler.
What’s a Lip Flip, Really?
The orbicularis oris is the circular muscle that wraps around your mouth like a drawstring. It controls movement like puckering, speaking, sipping, and yes — that mysterious lip curl when you’re trying not to smile.
When we inject a small amount of neurotoxin (like Botox or Dysport) just above the upper lip, we soften the muscle’s pulling action. The result? The upper lip gently “flips” upward, exposing more of the pink lip — without actually adding any volume.
Let’s Talk Synergy: Lip Flip + Filler
Here’s where the magic happens.
If you’ve already had filler placed to add volume, doing a lip flip after (or along with it) can actually support and enhance your result.
Why? Because:
Filler adds structure and projection
A lip flip improves positioning and height
Together, they balance each other — one working from within, the other on muscle dynamics. It’s like adjusting both the cushion and the curtain rod: the volume is there, but now it sits perfectly and looks more natural.
Bonus: Who’s a Good Candidate?
Lip flips are amazing for:
People with thin lips who want height, not volume
Clients with a “disappearing lip” when smiling
Enhancing filler results for that crisp, lifted look
First-timers looking for a subtle change before committing to filler
In Summary:
A lip flip doesn’t just make lips look fuller — it literally changes how the muscle behaves, allowing your lip to shine (or smirk) more naturally. Combine that with thoughtfully placed filler, and you’ve got a pout that’s balanced, beautiful, and totally you.
