Botox Lip Flip: A Subtle Way to Enhance Your Smile
Curious about getting fuller-looking lips without filler? A Botox Lip Flip is the fast, subtle, and non-surgical way to enhance your upper lip—no downtime, no drastic change, just a softer, more confident smile.
Offered at all Skin Vitality clinics across the GTA, the Lip Flip is perfect for those who want to dip their toes into lip enhancement without going all in on filler.
What Is a Lip Flip?
A Botox Lip Flip is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a small amount of Botox just above the upper lip, targeting the orbicularis oris muscle. This relaxes the muscle and causes the upper lip to gently roll outward, revealing more of the pink surface and giving the illusion of a fuller top lip.
It doesn’t actually add volume like filler does, but it changes the way your lip rests—making it look slightly plumper, especially when you smile.
How Is It Different from Lip Filler?
A Lip Flip and lip filler both enhance the lips—but in completely different ways:
- Lip Flip (Botox): Relaxes the muscles around the mouth, subtly flipping the top lip outward. Results are soft, natural, and ideal for lip balancing or correcting a “disappearing lip” when smiling.
- Lip Filler: Adds volume by injecting dermal filler into the lips, offering a plumper, more dramatic result.
Many clients start with a Lip Flip before deciding whether they want to explore fuller lip filler treatments. Some even combine both for maximum definition and volume.
Who Is It For?
The Lip Flip is perfect for individuals who:
- Want a more defined upper lip without added volume
- Have a thin upper lip that disappears when they smile
- Prefer a natural, low-maintenance enhancement
- Are curious about lip treatments but aren’t ready for filler
- Want to correct a gummy smile or improve lip symmetry

- There’s minimal discomfort—just a quick pinch.
- You’re free to go right after. No recovery time needed.
Results gradually appear over 3–5 days and reach full effect in about 10 days.
Recovery & How Long It Lasts
There’s no downtime after a Lip Flip. You can go back to your normal routine immediately.
Some clients experience mild swelling or tenderness for a day or two. To optimize your results:
