The lip flip treatment at Laser Center of Marin is a quick, non-surgical injectable treatment that uses a small amount of Botox to relax the muscles above the upper lip. This allows the lip to gently roll outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined shape without adding volume or using filler. It can also help reduce how much of your gumline shows when you smile for a softer, more balanced look. Unlike fillers, a lip flip works by enhancing what you already have. Results appear within just a few days and last up to two months. The lip flip offers a low-commitment option for patients who want to experiment with lip enhancement!

A few tiny injections of Botox are placed just above the upper lip, targeting the orbicularis oris muscle. This temporarily relaxes the muscle, allowing the upper lip to "flip" slightly outward and look more defined. The result is a subtly fuller-looking lip, especially when you smile. The treatment takes just a few minutes, with no downtime, and results typically appear within 4–5 days and last about 6–8 weeks.
