Subtle Enhancement, Naturally Fuller Lips

At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery, our lip flip treatment in Scottsdale is a quick, minimally invasive way to enhance your lips. Using precise Botox® injections, a lip flip relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, gently rolling it outward to create the appearance of a fuller, more defined smile. This subtle enhancement delivers a natural, refreshed look without adding volume or downtime.

What Is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses small amounts of Botox® to relax the orbicularis oris muscle around the upper lip. This causes the lip to “flip” slightly outward, enhancing its shape and creating the illusion of more volume.

Unlike dermal fillers, a lip flip does not add bulk; it simply redefines and improves the appearance of your natural lips for a softer, fuller look.

Benefits of a Lip Flip

At Athēnix Scottsdale, patients choose the lip flip for:

  • Subtle enhancement: Naturally fuller-looking lips without added volume
  • Quick treatment: Usually completed in 10–15 minutes
  • Minimal downtime: Return to daily activities immediately
  • Natural results: Enhances lip shape without changing your unique features
  • Cost-effective: More affordable than filler treatments
  • Refreshed appearance: Creates a youthful, balanced smile

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Lip Flip?

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

  • Want a subtle, natural enhancement instead of added volume
  • Notice your upper lip disappearing when you smile
  • Prefer a non-surgical option with little to no downtime
  • Are in good health and not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have realistic expectations about results

During your consultation, our specialists will evaluate your goals and determine if a lip flip in Scottsdale is the best option for you.

What to Expect During the Procedure

A lip flip is performed right in our Scottsdale office and usually takes less than 15 minutes.

  • Treatment: Small amounts of Botox® are injected at precise points along the upper lip.
  • Sensation: Mild pinching or pressure at the injection sites; numbing cream can be applied if desired.
  • Downtime: No recovery time is needed; you can resume most activities immediately.

Results begin to appear within a few days, with full effects visible in about 1–2 weeks.

Recovery and Results

One of the main advantages of a lip flip is that there’s virtually no downtime. Most patients experience only minor redness, swelling, or slight bruising at the injection sites, and these effects typically fade within a day or two. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment, making it an easy option to fit into your routine.

The results of a lip flip appear gradually. Within a few days, you’ll begin to notice your upper lip looking softer and more defined, and by about one week the full effect is visible. The upper lip gently rolls outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more balanced smile without adding bulk. These results typically last between two and three months, and many patients choose to maintain their refreshed look with quick, routine touch-up treatments.

How is surgical lip augmentation different from fillers?

Fillers provide temporary results lasting months, while surgical options like fat transfer or a lip lift create long-lasting or permanent enhancement.

Will there be scars?

For lip lifts, scars are hidden at the base of the nose and typically fade well. Fat transfer involves only tiny incisions for fat harvesting.

How long do results last?

Fat transfer and lip lifts provide long-term to permanent results, with subtle refinement continuing as swelling subsides.

Can surgical augmentation look natural?

Yes. Our surgeons specialize in refined, proportionate results that enhance your features without looking overdone.
