The Science Behind a Lip Flip
Not every lip concern calls for more volume. Sometimes, the goal is to reveal a little more of what you already have.
A lip flip temporarily relaxes the muscles above the upper lip using a small amount of Botox. As these muscles relax, the upper lip gently rolls outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip without adding filler.
At JK Med Spa, our physician-led team takes a thoughtful approach to every lip flip in Norfolk. We consider your natural lip shape, facial proportions, smile, and aesthetic goals before determining whether this treatment is the right fit for you.
A lip flip may be a great option if you want to:
- Create a more defined upper lip
- Reveal more of the upper lip when smiling
- Achieve a subtle enhancement without added volume
- Soften the appearance of a “gummy” smile
- Complement your natural facial features
What to Expect From a Lip Flip
-
1
Personalized Plan
Your appointment begins with a conversation about what you would like to change and what you want to keep as-is. We will evaluate your lip shape and smile before determining the precise injection placement.

Strategic Injections
Once your treatment plan is established, a licensed medical professional cleanses the treatment area and uses a very fine needle to administer the Botox around the upper lip. The process is quick, with minimal interruption to your day.

Results & Maintenance
Lip flip results develop gradually as the Botox takes effect. You may begin noticing a subtle change within several days, with results becoming more apparent around two weeks. Results generally last about 2 to 4 months, after which you can return for a touch-up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Botox
No. Unlike dermal fillers, our lip flip in Norfolk does not physically add volume to patients’ lips. Instead, it uses a small amount of Botox to temporarily relax the muscles around the upper lip.
This allows the lip to gently roll outward, revealing more of the natural lip and creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined upper lip. It can be a great option if you want a subtle enhancement without the added volume associated with fillers.
A lip flip is a quick treatment that typically takes just a few minutes to administer.
Before your injections, your provider will ask about your goals, evaluate your natural lip shape and smile, and determine the appropriate injection sites.
Because the treatment is so efficient, most patients can easily fit a lip flip into their day without needing significant downtime afterward.
Most patients find a lip flip very tolerable. Your provider uses a fine needle to administer a small amount of Botox into specific areas around the upper lip, so treatment is typically over quickly.
You may notice a brief pinching sensation during the injections. Some temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness can occur afterward, but these effects resolve on their own shortly after the appointment.
