A Little Lift that Makes a Big Difference

Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest impact. A Lip Flip offers a soft, natural-looking solution if you’ve ever wished your upper lip looked a bit fuller when you smile—or felt that your lips disappear in photos. This quick injectable treatment relaxes the muscles just above the lip, allowing more pink surface to show. The result? A slightly lifted, gently enhanced appearance that still looks like you. At Accents Cosmetic Surgery, we specialize in personalized enhancements that blend artistry, precision, and subtlety.

What Is a Lip Flip?

A Lip Flip is a non-surgical injectable treatment using a small dose of a neuromodulator (such as BOTOX® or Dysport) to relax the muscles around the upper lip temporarily. When the orbicularis oris muscle is relaxed, the lip gently "flips" upward and outward, creating the illusion of added volume and preventing the top lip from curling under when you smile. It’s a fast, low-commitment option for enhancing lip shape without traditional filler.

The Benefits of a Lip Flip

  • Lifted Upper Lip Appearance: By relaxing the muscles above the mouth, the lip flips upward slightly, creating a fuller-looking upper lip without added volume.
  • More Confident Smiles: A Lip Flip prevents the upper lip from thinning or disappearing when you smile, giving your grin a softer, more balanced appearance.
  • Natural-Looking Enhancement: Because no volume is added, results are subtle and ideal for patients who want a delicate, “untouched” look.
  • Quick and Minimally Invasive: The procedure takes just a few minutes and involves no downtime or recovery.
  • Budget-Friendly Option: A Lip Flip typically requires fewer units than other injectable treatments, making it a more affordable aesthetic enhancement.
  • Perfect for First-Timers: If you’re curious about lip enhancements but hesitant to commit to fillers, a Lip Flip is a gentle introduction to injectable aesthetics.

Is a Lip Flip Right for Me?

A Lip Flip may be a great option if you:

  • Want your upper lip to appear fuller without using dermal fillers
  • Notice that your lip disappears when you smile
  • Have a gummy smile and want to subtly reduce how much gum is exposed
  • Are looking for a fast, affordable, and low-maintenance cosmetic enhancement
  • Prefer a more natural, understated result

During your consultation at Accents Cosmetic Surgery, we’ll help you decide whether a Lip Flip, filler, or combination treatment will best meet your aesthetic goals.

Both Dr. Berkowitz and Maria were terrific and I really enjoyed discussing an FUE procedure with them. They were open and honest about my level of hair loss, and were realistic and clear about what was possible to achieve. They weren't pushy and left the decision entirely within my hands on whether to proceed. I ultimately didn't go through with the procedure as I felt that what was achievable wasn't worth the cost. I would very much recommend their office and staff to anyone interested in FUE.

Kalye is the best!!! I was scheduled with her to do some injections into my scalp for hair loss and she couldn’t have been more kind, informative and really made me feel taken care of as a patient and a client. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and understood the process - she even inconvenienced her own schedule in order to accommodate mine and ensure I received the best results. I have so much more confidence for the journey ahead, knowing I am in such great hands with Kalye.

I loved this clinic! Maria helped me schedule everything and answered each and every question I had like the pro that she is. Megan and Monica were the technicians working on me.

Dr. Berkowitz and his team have proven to be an excellent cosmetic practice! I had a lower eyelid blepharoplasty procedure in October 2020. Dr Berkowitz took the time to let me know what to expect in every detail. The procedure went smoothly, and I healed rather quickly without any complications. After recovery, the results have been exactly what I was hoping they would be. For anyone considering this surgery, I would highly recommend it. Addressing the aging around the eyes takes years off the overall appearance! You can surely trust that the entire team at Accents Cosmetic Surgery will take amazing care of you through every step of the way.

From making the appointment to actually meeting Dr. Alford, everything was smooth and amazing! I’m surprised I’m the first to even leave a review about how wonderful he is. He listened, modeled patience and made me feel comfortable. He did a breast augmentation on me and when I say I was nervous, that’s an understatement, but he assured me I’d be just fine, and I was. His work is phenomenal and I’d recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much Dr. Alford. I will be sure to update this review according to my healing and future results!!!

I've been seeing Dr. Berkowitz for hair loss treatment, and I've been noticing a significant change since I've been under his care. I've always been very insecure when it would come to my looks, wearing hats, avoiding public situations, and so on. He's been very helpful since I started seeing him. I've already referred him to a close friend.

What to Expect Your Lip Flip

Consultation

You’ll meet with one of our experienced injectors to discuss your goals and determine if a Lip Flip is the right option for you.

Quick Treatment

Your injector will use a very fine needle to inject a few units of neuromodulator into the muscle just above the upper lip.

No Downtime

The procedure takes less than 10 minutes and requires no recovery time—you can return to your day immediately.

Gradual Results

You’ll begin to see results within 3–5 days, with full effects typically visible by day 7–10.

Background media

Your Lip Flip Results

Your Lip Flip will offer a subtle enhancement that makes your lips look fuller, more defined, and slightly lifted. Results last approximately 6–8 weeks, at which point you can repeat the treatment.

Because the effect is temporary and subtle, many patients love incorporating Lip Flips as a regular part of their aesthetic routine—or combining them with lip filler for a more pronounced pout.

Why Choose Accents Cosmetic Surgery?

Aesthetic Expertise, Artistic Touch

Dr. Berkowitz and our experienced injectors understand the power of restraint. Our goal is always to enhance, not alter, your natural beauty, and a Lip Flip requires finesse and precision to look just right.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all beauty. Your consultation and treatment plan will be tailored to your lip anatomy, smile dynamics, and overall facial harmony.

A Comfortable, Welcoming Experience

Whether you’re new to injectables or a seasoned pro, our compassionate team ensures your experience is relaxing, informative, and empowering every step of the way.

Subtle, Sophisticated, and Authentically You

Book your consultation today and discover how a Lip Flip at Accents Cosmetic Surgery can help you smile even more confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions Lip Flip

How is a Lip Flip different from lip filler?

A Lip Flip uses neuromodulators to relax the muscles above the upper lip, causing it to roll outward gently. It doesn’t add volume. Lip filler, on the other hand, adds volume and structure using hyaluronic acid-based products.

Does a Lip Flip hurt?

Most patients describe the treatment as quick and mildly uncomfortable. The needle used is extremely small, and any discomfort subsides quickly.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are rare and typically mild, such as temporary swelling or bruising at the injection site. In some cases, patients may notice slight difficulty using a straw or making certain expressions, which resolve as the product wears off.

Can I combine a Lip Flip with filler?

Yes! Many patients combine a Lip Flip with a small filler for enhanced volume, shape, and definition.

When should I schedule my next Lip Flip?

Most patients repeat treatment every 6–8 weeks to maintain results. We’ll help you plan a maintenance schedule that works for you.
