Anti Wrinkle Lip Flip: I’ll Never Do It Again
What is an anti wrinkle lip flip?
Lip Flip Technique
A lip flip is an anti wrinkle treatment for the upper lip. A very small amount is placed into the muscle around the mouth so that it relaxes, allowing the upper lip to “flip” slightly upwards and show a little more when you smile. This is different from lip filler, which adds volume. A lip flip is a subtle option for people who would like a gentle change, and it is always assessed at a consultation first.
What are the benefits of an anti wrinkle lip flip?
1. A more visible upper lip
The main benefit of an anti wrinkle lip flip is that the upper lip can look a little fuller and more defined, without adding any product for volume. It can suit people whose upper lip seems to disappear when they smile, giving a natural looking result without surgery.
2. A quick, minimally invasive treatment
A lip flip takes only a few minutes and involves very small injections. Most people return to their normal activities straight away, although mild redness or swelling is possible.
3. Softer lines around the mouth
Anti wrinkle treatment is used to soften expression lines on the face, and a lip flip can also soften the fine “smoker’s lines” that form above the upper lip when the mouth muscle contracts.
4. A temporary, gradual result
Results appear gradually over several days to two weeks and are temporary. This means you can see how you feel about the change before deciding whether to repeat it.
5. A tailored treatment
Every lip flip is planned around your face, your smile and what you would like to achieve. Fleur explains exactly what she recommends, and why, so that the result stays subtle and in proportion.
6. Careful, qualified practice
The upper lip is a delicate area, so experience and a careful technique matter. Your medical history, suitability and any risks are discussed in full at your consultation before anything goes ahead.
What is the difference between lip filler and a lip flip?
Lip filler uses a hyaluronic acid gel to add volume, definition and balance to the lips. It is tailored to each person, the results usually last several months to a year, and it can create a more noticeable change than a lip flip.
An anti wrinkle lip flip, on the other hand, relaxes the muscle around the mouth so that the upper lip rolls slightly upwards. It gives the impression of a fuller, more defined upper lip without adding any volume. The result is subtle and natural, which can suit people who want a gentle change or whose upper lip lifts a lot when they smile.
Who are the best candidates for a lip flip?
The best candidates for a lip flip have a thin or flat upper lip that seems to disappear when they smile, and would like a subtle change without filler. It can also help people whose gums show a little more than they would like when smiling.
A lip flip is not suitable for everyone. If your lips are very thin, or if the upper lip already droops, a lip flip may not make a noticeable difference, and Fleur will tell you honestly. It is also not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have had a previous reaction to anti wrinkle treatment.
What are the potential side effects of a lip flip?
The most common side effects are mild bruising and swelling at the injection points, which usually settle within a few days.
Because the lip muscles are used for speaking, drinking and smiling, some people notice a slight change in how their mouth feels for a short time, such as finding it harder to drink through a straw. An uneven smile is also possible, which is why an experienced practitioner and a careful assessment are important.
Rarely, infection or an allergic reaction can occur. Signs of infection include fever, redness, swelling and pain, and an allergic reaction may cause itching, hives or difficulty breathing. If you notice any of these, seek medical attention straight away and contact us.
How much does a lip flip cost?

Conclusion
In conclusion, an anti wrinkle lip flip is a subtle, quick treatment that can make the upper lip look a little fuller and more defined, soften fine lines around the mouth and be tailored to your smile.
Results are temporary, so you can decide afterwards whether you would like to repeat it. For some people, lip filler or simply good skincare is the better choice, and we will always tell you which option suits you.
