What Is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a quick, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure offered at SKIN 6 CLINIC in Gurugram. It involves injecting a small amount of Botulinum Toxin (commonly known as Botox) just above the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles in the area, causing the upper lip to gently roll outward—creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip without adding volume through fillers. This treatment is ideal for those who wish their upper lip looked more visible or tends to “disappear” when they smile.Benefits of a Lip Flip Treatment
When performed by experienced hands at SKIN 6 CLINIC, you can expect:- A naturally enhanced lip shape
- Better smile balance with a subtle lift
- Fast, affordable procedure (10–15 mins)
- Completely non-surgical with zero downtime
Is a Lip Flip Right for You?
You may be a great candidate for a lip flip if:- Your upper lip appears thin, especially when smiling
- You want enhancement without volume or fillers
- You prefer a non-invasive and cost-effective solution
- You’re looking for a quick procedure with minimal discomfort
How Does the Lip Flip Work?
During the treatment, our skilled dermatologist injects 2–4 units of Botox around the vermilion border (the edge of your upper lip). This temporarily relaxes the orbicularis oris muscle, which allows your lip to gently flip outward and appear more prominent.-
- The procedure takes around 10–15 minutes
-
- Discomfort is minimal and well-tolerated
What to Expect After the Procedure
- Results start showing in 3–5 days, with full results in 7–10 days
- Effects last around 6–8 weeks
- No downtime—you can resume normal activities immediately
- Mild swelling or redness may appear but fades quickly
