Treatment Overview

You can treat an upper lip that disappears when smiling, or appears thin at rest, with the lip flip.

The lip flip works by carefully relaxing the muscle responsible for pulling the upper lip inward. By reducing this inward pull, more of your natural lip surface becomes visible. This improves the shape and balance without the need for dermal filler.

The result is a softer, more defined upper lip with improved symmetry and a subtle enhancement in projection. The treatment can also reduce the appearance of a gummy smile, if necessary by limiting excessive upper lip elevation when smiling. Outcomes are delicate and refined, making it ideal for a natural enhancement without added volume.
