Full youthful lips are always in style
Enhance, define, and volumise your lips with safe, natural-looking dermal fillers. Perfect for creating fuller lips, smoothing lines, and refining your perfect pout
Lips are an important part of your face, they make us look and feel beautiful. For many people, fuller and more sensuous lips come high on their wish list. A simple, safe, temporary dermal filler treatment can add volume and definition which can enhance small or thin lips. The procedure can balance out asymmetric lips or reduce the appearance of those fine and vertical lines. Lip enhancements can also be helpful in many different areas of the lips, for example Vermillion borders or lip outlines can create definition, width and improve lipstick bleeding lines. Lip volume will create a beautiful pout and fullness in both upper and lower lips. A Cupid’s bow adds definition and contouring to the upper lip.

As the name implies, the Botox lip flip involves using Botox to enhance the upper lip. Just a few quick injections can help the upper lip relax and roll slightly upward, which allows more of the upper lip to be visible. It is an excellent alternative to fillers for patients who want a more subtle enhancement than fillers provide, or for those who want to enhance the shape of their upper lip with minimal effort.
To perform a Botox lip flip, our injectable specialists make a series of injections just above the upper lip, into the orbicularis oris muscle, which encircles the mouth. Botox temporarily relaxes the part of the muscle over the upper lip, causing the lip to roll slightly upward so it appears more voluminous and defined. This muscle relaxation can also help smooth vertical lines around the lips.
Most patients notice the effects within a few days of treatment, with full results in about one week. The effects of Botox for lips lasts up to three to four months.
Be sure to choose a qualified provider who has plenty of experience performing the Botox lip flip. Overtreating is a real risk and can limit your ability to move your lips normally. It takes a high level of skill to achieve the right effect.
The Botox lip flip isn’t a substitute for lip fillers. We perform both at Facial aesthetics London as we have patients who are better suited to one treatment or the other, or both. Our injectable specialists consider your natural lip anatomy, your desired outcome, and your personal preferences when deciding whether Botox or a dermal filler.
In some cases, the best solution for a patient is to combine Botox with fillers. Using fillers to enhance lip volume and Botox to lift the upper lip slightly can achieve a beautiful effect for patients with very thin lips.
