WHAT IS A LIP FLIP?

A Lip Flip is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses small, precisely placed injections of Botox® to gently relax the muscles around the upper lip. As these muscles relax, the upper lip subtly rolls outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip without adding volume through dermal fillers.

At London Lip Clinic on Harley Street, London, every Lip Flip treatment is performed by Rupesh, who carefully assesses your facial anatomy, lip movement and smile before creating a personalised treatment plan. The procedure is ideal for patients who want a subtle enhancement, improved upper lip definition or reduced visibility of the gums when smiling (commonly known as a gummy smile).

Treatment usually takes 15–20 minutes, with results beginning to appear within 3–7 days and reaching their full effect after approximately 2 weeks. Results typically last 2–3 months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain your results.

A Lip Flip can be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with lip fillers for patients who would like additional volume while maintaining a natural-looking result. At London Lip Clinic, our focus is always on enhancing your natural features, creating balanced, elegant results that complement your facial proportions while preserving normal lip movement and expression.

How a Lip Flip Can Help

At London Lip Clinic on Harley Street, London, Rupesh tailors every Lip Flip treatment to your individual lip shape, facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. A Lip Flip can address a variety of cosmetic concerns, creating subtle yet noticeable improvements while maintaining a natural-looking smile.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your upper lip, reduce a gummy smile or improve lip definition without adding volume, every treatment is carefully planned to achieve balanced, harmonious results.

Areas a Lip Flip Can Improve

  • Upper Lip Enhancement – Create the appearance of a fuller upper lip without using dermal fillers.
  • Gummy Smile – Reduce excessive gum show when smiling by relaxing the upper lip muscles.
  • Lip Definition – Improve the visibility and shape of the upper lip, especially when smiling.
  • Lip Balance – Enhance harmony between the upper and lower lips for improved facial proportions.
  • Thin Upper Lip – Ideal for patients whose upper lip disappears or curls inward when they smile.
  • Natural Lip Enhancement – Achieve subtle enhancement without increasing lip volume.
  • Smile Refinement – Create a softer, more relaxed and aesthetically pleasing smile.
  • Combination with Lip Fillers – Complement dermal filler treatments by improving upper lip position and overall lip aesthetics.

Every Lip Flip performed at London Lip Clinic is designed to enhance your natural features rather than change them. Using precise Botox injections and an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, Rupesh delivers personalised treatments that create elegant, balanced and natural-looking results for women, men and the LGBTQ+ community.

Why Choose London Lip Clinic for Your Lip Flip Treatment?

Why Choose London Lip Clinic for Your Lip Flip Treatment?

At London Lip Clinic on Harley Street, London, we believe a successful Lip Flip is about far more than simply injecting Botox. Achieving beautiful, natural-looking results requires a detailed understanding of facial anatomy, lip movement and smile dynamics. Every Lip Flip treatment is performed by Rupesh, who carefully assesses your facial features, muscle activity and aesthetic goals to create a personalised treatment plan that enhances your smile while preserving natural expression.

Whether you’re looking to subtly enhance your upper lip, reduce the appearance of a gummy smile or improve lip definition without adding volume, our medically led approach ensures balanced, elegant results that complement your unique facial features.

Located on the world-renowned Harley Street, London, London Lip Clinic provides expert Lip Flip treatments in a premium medical environment, combining exceptional patient care with the highest standards of clinical safety.

Every Lip Flip is performed by Rupesh, an experienced independent prescribing pharmacist with over 23 years of clinical experience. His advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and aesthetic medicine ensures every treatment is carried out with precision and care.

A successful Lip Flip requires accurate placement of Botox into the muscles surrounding the upper lip. Rupesh carefully assesses your lip movement, smile and muscle function to achieve subtle enhancement while maintaining normal speech, eating and facial expression.

Every patient’s lips and smile are different. Whether your goal is a fuller-looking upper lip, improved lip definition or reducing a gummy smile, your treatment is individually tailored to your facial anatomy and desired outcome.

Our philosophy is to enhance your natural beauty rather than change it. A Lip Flip creates a subtle improvement by gently rolling the upper lip outward, giving the appearance of increased fullness without adding dermal filler.

At London Lip Clinic, we use only genuine Allergan Botox®, one of the world’s most trusted and clinically researched botulinum toxin products, providing consistent, reliable and safe results.

Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation, during which Rupesh evaluates your facial proportions, lip movement, smile and treatment goals. This allows us to recommend the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.

A Lip Flip can be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with lip fillers for patients seeking greater definition, improved lip shape and enhanced overall lip aesthetics. Rupesh will advise which approach is most suitable for achieving your desired result.

We believe in recommending only the treatments that are right for you. Following your consultation, Rupesh will provide honest advice, a personalised treatment plan and transparent pricing with no unnecessary upselling.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR LIP FLIP APPOINTMENT

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR APPOINTMENT AT LONDON LIP CLINIC

Preparing for your Lip Flip is simple and helps minimise the risk of bruising while ensuring the best possible results. At London Lip Clinic on Harley Street, London, Rupesh will begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your concerns, assess your lip movement and smile, and determine whether a Lip Flip is the most appropriate treatment for your goals.

Where possible, avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment, as this may increase the likelihood of bruising. If medically appropriate, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and vitamin E for several days beforehand, unless these have been prescribed by your doctor. Arrive with clean skin and no makeup around the mouth, and let Rupesh know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have any neuromuscular conditions or have received Botox treatment within the last three months.

If you’re considering combining a Lip Flip with lip fillers, this will be discussed during your consultation so a personalised treatment plan can be created.

During Your Lip Flip Appointment at London Lip Clinic

Your appointment begins with a detailed facial assessment and consultation with Rupesh. He will carefully evaluate your lip shape, smile, muscle movement and facial proportions before explaining how a Lip Flip works and what results you can realistically expect.

The treatment area is cleansed before a series of very small Botox injections are precisely placed into the orbicularis oris muscle, the muscle surrounding the upper lip. These carefully targeted injections gently relax the muscle, allowing the upper lip to roll slightly outward and become more visible when your face is relaxed and when you smile.

The procedure usually takes 15–20 minutes, including your consultation, and most patients describe the injections as only a mild pinprick. No anaesthetic is usually required, and you can return to most normal daily activities immediately after your appointment.

Every treatment at London Lip Clinic is tailored to your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring subtle, balanced and natural-looking results that enhance your smile without affecting normal lip function.

After Your Lip Flip Appointment at London Lip Clinic

Following your Lip Flip treatment, you can usually resume your normal routine straight away. Mild redness, tenderness or slight swelling at the injection sites is normal and typically settles within a few hours.

For the first 24 hours, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, strenuous exercise, excessive heat such as saunas or steam rooms, and alcohol where possible. Remaining upright for approximately four hours after treatment is also recommended to help ensure the Botox remains in the intended muscles.

Results usually begin to appear within 3–7 days, with the full effect developing after approximately 2 weeks. Your upper lip will appear subtly fuller and more defined as it gently rolls outward, while a gummy smile, if present, may become less noticeable. Results typically last 2–3 months, after which maintenance treatment can be performed if desired.

At London Lip Clinic, your care continues after your appointment. Rupesh will provide comprehensive aftercare advice and, where appropriate, arrange a review appointment to ensure you are delighted with your results and that your treatment has achieved a natural, balanced and beautiful enhancement.

Like receiving any Botox injections, there is a small risk of an allergic reaction to the product. You do, of course, always need to make sure you are going to a highly recommended practitioner, such as Rupesh at London Lip Clinic.

If a dose of Botox that was too large was administered, it could cause your lips to relax too much, and this might make it difficult to close them. The Lip Flip treatment has very low side effects and is considered a safe treatment.

A lip flip does not add volume to the lips. Instead, it relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, allowing more of the pink lip to show and creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined pout. If you are looking for significant volume, lip fillers may be more suitable.

Most patients experience only mild discomfort. The treatment involves a few small injections around the upper lip and typically takes less than 15 minutes. Any discomfort is brief, and most people return to their normal activities immediately afterwards.

A lip flip is ideal for people who feel their upper lip disappears when they smile, those with a gummy smile, or anyone seeking a subtle enhancement without adding volume. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your anatomy to determine whether a lip flip is the most appropriate treatment.

Yes. A lip flip is designed to provide a subtle enhancement rather than a dramatic change. The treatment gently rolls the upper lip outward, creating a softer, fuller appearance while maintaining natural facial expressions.

The results of a lip flip typically last between 8 and 12 weeks. Many patients choose to have maintenance treatments every three months to preserve their results. Your practitioner can recommend a schedule based on your individual response to treatment.

Deciding whether a lip flip or lip filler is better depends on your desired results. For those in London seeking a subtle enhancement, a lip flip using Botox relaxes the upper lip muscles, making the lip appear fuller without adding volume. It’s ideal for reducing a gummy smile and creating a more balanced look.

On the other hand, lip fillers add volume, plumpness, and shape, making them a better option for those who want a more noticeable change. Both treatments have minimal downtime, but a lip flip is less invasive and typically more affordable.

Yes. You can eat and drink as normal following treatment. However, it is usually recommended to avoid rubbing the area and to refrain from strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. Some patients notice slight changes when using a straw during the first few days, but this is temporary.

Yes. A lip flip can help reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by relaxing the muscles that lift the upper lip. This allows the lip to sit lower when smiling, creating a more balanced appearance and reducing excessive gum exposure.
