A lip flip is a subtle injectable treatment designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume. Unlike lip augmentation with dermal fillers, a lip flip uses a neuromodulator (such as Botox®) to gently relax the muscles that pull the upper lip inward, allowing the lip to roll slightly outward when smiling or speaking. At Corrado Skincare & Aesthetics, lip flip treatments in Philadelphia are performed conservatively and strategically. The goal is a refined enhancement that preserves natural lip movement and expression—never stiffness or distortion.
A lip flip is a non-surgical treatment that uses a small amount of neuromodulator injected into the muscles around the upper lip (primarily the orbicularis oris). By relaxing these muscles, the upper lip subtly flips outward, making it appear more visible without increasing volume.
This treatment is ideal for patients who want a delicate enhancement without dermal filler.
The upper lip naturally rolls inward when smiling due to muscle contraction. A lip flip reduces this downward pull, allowing more of the pink portion of the lip to show.
