Lip Flip – Subtle, Natural Enhancement

Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference. If you’ve ever wished your upper lip looked just a little fuller or your smile appeared softer and more balanced, a lip flip may be the perfect solution.

At CōLAB Medical Aesthetics in Calgary, we specialize in subtle, natural enhancements — treatments that bring out your best features without making you look “done.” A lip flip is one of our most-requested procedures for patients who want a refreshed, natural-looking smile.


What Is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a quick, non-surgical treatment that uses Botox (or a similar neuromodulator) to relax the tiny muscles around your upper lip. By softening this muscle, the upper lip gently “flips” outward, creating the appearance of a fuller lip without adding volume.

Unlike lip fillers, which add volume with dermal filler, a lip flip relies on relaxing the muscle to subtly enhance your smile.


Benefits of a Lip Flip

Relax the upper lip – Reduces tightness and creates a more relaxed look.
Softer, fuller appearance – Without the use of filler.
Enhance your smile – Especially for patients whose upper lip “disappears” when they smile.
Quick & easy – Treatment takes about 10 minutes with minimal discomfort.
Natural results – Perfect for anyone wanting a refreshed, subtle change.


Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler

One of the most common questions we hear is: “Should I get a lip flip or filler?”

  • Lip Flip – Best for patients who want a subtle, natural enhancement without adding volume. Great for smiles where the upper lip curls inward.

  • Lip Filler – Adds actual volume and shape to both lips, ideal for those wanting more dramatic results or contouring.

  • Combination – Many patients choose both for maximum effect: filler for volume, lip flip for shape and balance.

At CōLAB Medical Aesthetics, we’ll help you decide which option (or combination) is right for you.


What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Consultation – We’ll discuss your goals and examine your smile.

  2. Quick Treatment – A few tiny injections of Botox are placed near the upper lip.

  3. Minimal Downtime – No need to take time off — you can return to your normal routine right away.

  4. Results – You’ll notice the lip gently rolling outward in 5–7 days, with full results visible in about 2 weeks.

  5. Lasting Impact – Effects last about 2–3 months, and treatment can be repeated to maintain your look.
