Botox Lip Flip · Dallas, TX
A Botox lip flip for a fuller upper lip, no filler
In Dallas, a small amount of Botox lets your upper lip roll gently outward, so it looks fuller while still looking like yours. The same treatment can also soften a gummy smile.
How A Lip Flip Works
Your own lip, shown a little more
We place a small amount of Botox at the outer corners of your mouth and along the Cupid’s bow. As those muscles relax, the inner part of your upper lip rolls slightly outward, so more of it shows. Nothing is added, which is why the result looks natural.
A lip flip is one of the subtler uses of Botox. If you want real added volume or a reshaped lip line, lip filler is the better fit, and we tell you honestly which one suits your goals.
What To Expect
Your lip flip timeline
The visit itself takes about 10 to 15 minutes, with little to no downtime, so it fits into a lunch break. Your upper lip starts to turn out within a few days, with the full effect in about a week. Results typically last 2 to 3 months, so we plan your next visit before they fade.

Because a lip flip takes about a week to settle, it helps to book it a week or two ahead of a wedding, a gala, or a trip you have planned. With little to no downtime, many people fit it into a lunch break and head straight back to work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lip flip questions answered
What is a Botox lip flip?
A small amount of Botox is placed at the outer corners of the mouth and along the Cupid’s bow. Relaxing those muscles lets the inner part of your upper lip roll slightly outward, so the lip looks fuller without adding any volume.
Lip flip or lip filler: which is right for me?
A lip flip uses your natural lip and suits a subtle change. Filler adds volume and shape directly, so it suits a more noticeable result. Your provider can tell you which fits your goals.
Can a lip flip help a gummy smile?
Often, yes. Relaxing the muscles that pull the upper lip up when you smile keeps it a little lower, so less of your gums show. You can address a gummy smile and a fuller upper lip in the same treatment.
How long does a lip flip last?
Results typically start within a few days and settle in about a week. They last 2 to 3 months, depending on your metabolism, lifestyle, and how your body responds to Botox. Booking your next visit before the 2-month mark keeps the look consistent.
How much does a lip flip cost?
A lip flip uses a small amount of Botox, and we set the exact amount at your consultation based on your lip and your goals. We offer a Dallas price-match on any published local price, and members save on every service.
