    Lip Flip

    Wrinkle Reduction

    The lip flip is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure involving the use of muscle relaxants along the lip's border. This technique subtly elevates the lip, enhancing its natural shape and giving a fuller and more defined look. It's an excellent option for those looking for a significant yet understated improvement in their lip appearance. It is also useful for decreasing the vertical smoker’s lines that some people suffer from.

    The cosmetic industry in Australia is abuzz with a new, highly sought-after trend - the lip flip. This innovative technique, which has gained popularity among celebrities in the United States, is now available at Beauty by Doctor (BBD), a leading clinic in Bondi Junction, Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.

    Comparing Lip Fillers and the Lip Flip
    It's important to understand the differences between lip fillers and the lip flip. Lip fillers involve placing a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid (dermal filler) directly into the lips for added volume. The lip flip, on the other hand, uses muscle relaxants to relax the surrounding lip muscles, the orbicularis oris. This creates a natural-looking 'flip' or eversion of the lip, offering the illusion of volume without actually increasing it.


    Choosing Between a Lip Flip and Lip Fillers
    Many of our clients at Beauty by Doctor opt for a combination of both lip volumisation and a lip flip for more pronounced and voluptuous lips. The lip flip particularly suits those who prefer a subtle alteration or have naturally thinner lips. It effectively prevents the upper lip from receding or disappearing when smiling.


    What is the Procedure Like?
    The lip flip procedure at BBD is performed with precision and care. Muscle relaxant solutions are strategically administered around the mouth and cupid’s bow. This technique relaxes the top lip, causing it to curl outward subtly, resulting in a more naturally full appearance compared to traditional lip fillers.


    Is the Lip Flip a Good Choice?
    A lip flip could be an ideal choice, whether as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with lip fillers. It offers a naturally pouty look, with the convenience of a quick, non-surgical procedure and minimal recovery time. Paired with lip volumisation, a lip flip can greatly enhance the look of fuller, more luscious lips.


    When to Expect Results
    Typically, the results of a lip flip at BBD are visible within 3 to 8 days, lasting approximately 2 to 4 months. Due to the minimal amount of botulinum toxin used, a follow-up treatment is usually suggested around the two-month mark, tailored to individual needs.


    Cost of a Lip Flip at BBD
    At Beauty by Doctor, a lip flip treatment generally ranges between $132 and $198, offering an accessible option for those seeking lip enhancement.
