Lip Flip
Subtle Enhancement. Noticeable Confidence.
A lip flip is a non-surgical treatment designed to enhance the appearance of a fuller lip by relaxing muscles around the mouth. At Bright Eyes & Face Medspa in Tannersville & Hazleton, PA, this popular procedure uses a small amount of a neurotoxin, such as Xeomin® or Dysport®, to help the top lip roll slightly upward. This gives the illusion of added volume without fillers or downtime. It’s perfect for those looking to enhance their natural features in a subtle, controlled way.
If you’re hoping for a more confident smile with minimal effort, a lip flip could be the right choice for you. Contact Bright Eyes & Face Medspa today to book your consultation and take the first step toward a soft, natural-looking enhancement.
Lip Flip Treatments
Xeomin®
Starting at $125
Xeomin® is a clean-form injectable that works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles around the lips. It contains no unnecessary protein, making it a great option for those who prefer a purer product. Results typically appear within a few days and last up to three months.
Dysport®
Starting at $125
Dysport® is a highly effective neurotoxin known for its rapid onset, often showing initial results within just 2 to 3 days. It disperses smoothly, making it an excellent choice for a beautifully soft, natural-looking lip roll that preserves your expressive smile.
Common Areas Treated
A lip flip enhances the upper lip area by relaxing specific muscles around the mouth. While it’s a subtle treatment, it can make a visible difference in several key areas:
Upper Lip Border
Gently relaxes the muscle border to flip the top lip upward for a fuller appearance.
Cupid's Bow
Softens and defines the center of the upper lip.
Lip Corners
Relaxes the downward-pulling muscles at the corners of the mouth to restore a pleasant, neutral resting expression.
Gummy Smile
Targets the muscles that pull the lip upward, reducing gum exposure when you smile.
Fine Lines Around the Mouth
Smooths out vertical fine lines directly above the lip border without compromising your natural expression.

Procedure Overview
Before your appointment, a brief consultation will help determine if the lip flip is the best option for your goals.
Personalized Consultation
Your provider will discuss your smile, lip shape, and what you’re hoping to achieve. This helps tailor the treatment specifically to you.
Gentle Skin Preparation
The area around your lips is cleaned to prepare for a smooth procedure. Since it’s quick and causes minimal discomfort, numbing is usually not necessary.
Precise Injections
A small amount of neurotoxin is carefully injected into the targeted muscles above the upper lip to create the “flip” effect.
Simple Aftercare and Recovery
You’ll receive easy-to-follow instructions and can return to most daily activities right away. Visible results may start in 2–4 days, with full effects in about one week.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do lip flip results last?
Most results last between 2 and 3 months. Because the dosage is small and the muscle treated is delicate, this treatment is ideal for subtle, short-term enhancements. For longer-lasting results, routine maintenance is recommended.
Is the lip flip painful?
The treatment involves only a few tiny injections, and most clients describe it as a slight pinch. Numbing isn’t typically needed, but it can be offered for extra comfort. Any discomfort fades quickly after the procedure.
Can I still move my lips and smile normally?
Yes! You will still have a beautiful, natural smile. However, because the muscle around your mouth is temporarily relaxed, you may notice a slight, normal weakness during the first week or two when performing highly coordinated movements—such as sipping through a straw, whistling, or swishing mouthwash. This is completely expected and resolves quickly as your muscles adjust.
How does a lip flip differ from lip fillers?
A lip flip uses a neurotoxin to gently relax muscles and roll the lip outward, while fillers add volume directly to the lips. If you want a subtle change in appearance, the lip flip is a great option. Fillers may be better suited for more noticeable fullness.
