Lip Flip in Bellevue, WA
A lip flip in Bellevue uses a touch of Botox to gently roll the upper lip outward for a fuller look.
Quick answer
A lip flip uses a few small units of Botox along the upper lip to relax the muscle so the lip rolls slightly outward, creating the appearance of a fuller upper lip — a subtle alternative or complement to filler, with no added volume.
A lip flip is a quick, subtle treatment: a few units of Botox at the upper lip border relax the muscle, allowing the lip to gently evert (“flip”) and show more pink. It’s ideal for those who want a touch more lip without the volume of filler, and it pairs well with a small amount of filler for a tailored result.
