A confident smile is one of the most expressive and attractive features of the face. For some people, certain muscle movements can affect the way the smile or lip shape appears — leading to concerns about lip definition or excessive gum show. At our Marylebone Clinic, anti-wrinkle injections offer a non-surgical way to enhance your smile and lip shape, whether you’d like to correct a gummy smile or achieve a naturally fuller look with a lip flip.
What Is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a quick, non-invasive treatment that creates the appearance of fuller lips without using dermal fillers. Small amounts of anti-wrinkle solution are carefully injected into the orbicularis oris muscle — the muscle that surrounds the mouth. This relaxes the muscle slightly, allowing the upper lip to gently roll outward, enhancing lip definition and creating a soft, naturally plumped look.
Who Is a Lip Flip Ideal For?
A lip flip is a great option for individuals who:
-
Prefer subtle enhancement rather than added volume from dermal filler
-
Notice their upper lip disappears or thins when they smile
-
Want a cost-effective, non-surgical way to refine their lip shape and smile
