Lip Flip

Service Description

The Lip Flip at Skin Lab Medispa is a subtle, filler-free treatment that creates the appearance of a fuller, more defined upper lip by relaxing the muscle that sits directly above it. A small amount of injectable product placed precisely into the orbicularis oris muscle — the muscle that surrounds the mouth — causes the upper lip to gently roll outward and upward rather than curling inward. The result is a lip that appears fuller and more defined without any added volume. It is an entirely different outcome to lip filler and appeals to a different type of patient. The Lip Flip is particularly well suited to four types of patient. Those who want a subtle improvement in upper lip appearance without committing to filler. Patients whose upper lip disappears when they smile and want it to remain visible. Those who want to trial a fuller lip appearance before deciding whether to try lip filler. And patients who already have lip filler and want to enhance the upper lip definition further without adding more volume. It is important to understand what the Lip Flip does and does not do. It creates the appearance of fullness by changing the position of the lip rather than adding volume — the improvement is subtle and natural rather than dramatic. Patients wanting significant volume or shape change will be better served by lip filler. Our team will always discuss this honestly at consultation and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your specific goals. Results become visible within 5 to 7 days and typically last 6 to 8 weeks — shorter than lip filler. Appointment time is approximately 20 minutes including consultation and aftercare guidance. No downtime. Available at our Marylebone clinic at The Light Centre, 4 Baker Street W1H 6AZ and our Old Street clinic at The Light Centre, 5 Singer Street EC2A 4BQ.
