If you are looking to enhance your lips, but feel like fillers aren’t right for you, you may want to consider Botox injections in a quick procedure called a ‘lip flip’. At our Edmonton clinic, we can customize your Botox Lip Flip treatment to suit all your specific needs.
What is a Botox Lip Flip?
As the name implies, a Botox Lip Flip involves using Botox to enhance the upper lip. Just a few quick injections to the upper lip will allow it to relax and roll slightly upwards. This is an excellent alternative to fillers for patients who want:
- A more subtle enhancement
- To enhance the shape of their upper lip with minimal effort
- A shorter-term lip enhancement option

How Does a Botox Lip Flip Work?
During a Botox Lip Flip, your injectable specialist will make a series of injections just above your upper lip. The Botox will temporarily relax the part of the muscle in that area, causing your lip to roll slightly upwards so that it appears more defined and voluminous.
Plumper Lips and Smoother Skin: In addition to making your lips appear more plump, the muscle relaxation caused by Botox will also help smooth any vertical lines or wrinkles around the area.
How Long Will It Take To Notice the Results? Most patients will notice the effects of their Botox Lip Flip within a few days of the treatment, with full results in about 7 days. The effects of this injection will last from between 3-4 months.
Choosing a Qualified Botox Provider is Critical: When you opt for this treatment, be sure to choose a qualified provider who has plenty of experience performing this procedure. Overtreating is a real risk and it can limit your ability to move your lips normally.
Botox Lip Flip vs Lip Fillers: Which is Right For You?
The Botox Lip Flip is NOT a substitute for lip fillers. Some patients are better suited to one treatment or the other, or both. During a consultation, your injectable specialist will consider a wide range of factors when determining which option is right for you. This includes your:
- Natural lip anatomy
- Desired outcome
- Personal preferences
You will likely prefer the Botox Lip Flip if you want:
- A more temporary treatment (3-4 months)
- Fuller looking lips but without any additional volume
- Your upper lip to be more visible when you smile
- A subtly more prominent pout
You will likely prefer the Lip Fillers if you want:
- Longer lasting results (6-12 months)
- To address more severe vertical lip lines
- Additional volume to both your upper and lower lip
- To improve your overall lip shape and symmetry
In some cases, the best solution may be to combine both Botox and lip fillers. Using fillers to enhance lip volume and Botox to lift the upper lip slightly can achieve a beautiful effect for patients with very thin lips.
