Lip Flip Before and After: The Results May Surprise You

Lip flip before-and-after results may surprise you, as some people notice a more visible upper lip, a defined Cupid’s bow, and less visible gums when smiling. 

However, results can vary, and changes may be subtle. Read this article to explore seven real before-and-after examples, reported results, changes in lip shape, improvements in gummy smiles, and whether the treatment makes a noticeable difference.

What it is: According to the Cleveland Clinic, a lip flip is a nonsurgical treatment that uses botulinum toxin injections around the upper lip to relax the muscles, allowing the lip to turn slightly upward and appear fuller.

What are the benefits: According to the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, the benefits include:

• Makes the upper lip more visible.

• Enhances the smile without adding bulk.

Precautions: According to ELLEMES Medical, avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for four hours and stay upright for at least two hours. 

Follow these precautions, avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours, and delay facial massages for 48 hours to help reduce potential complications.

Below is a list of the individuals whose before-and-after results with Lip Flip we reviewed. The table includes the videos we used as references, along with examples of the changes shown in their before-and-after results.

Cami Falagan's results from using Lip Flip included a more visible upper lip when she smiled. 

Before the treatment, her upper lip curled under and was barely visible when she smiled. 

After about one week, she noticed that her upper lip stayed visible, creating a more noticeable upper lip and improving the appearance of her smile.

Thy Vu's results from using a lip flip and gummy smile Botox treatment showed a noticeable reduction in visible gum when she smiled. 

After two months, she reported that her gummy smile was almost nonexistent, addressing a long-standing insecurity. 

She was especially happy that much less of her gums showed, even when she laughed naturally.

Alyssa's results from using Lip Flip included a more rounded upper lip, especially in the center, with the sides turning upward. 

She noticed this change gradually during her progress updates, describing the center as slightly fuller and the overall shape as less angled. She did not specify the exact time when this particular change began.

Lauren Jean's results from using Lip Flip showed that her upper lip looked bigger and more lifted, especially when she smiled. 

By day two, she noticed that her upper lip no longer curled inward into a thin line, allowing her entire upper lip to remain visible. 

After one week, she confirmed that the lifted appearance remained noticeable when smiling and talking.

Sara Shaban's results from using Lip Flip included a slight improvement in her lip appearance, but the change was too subtle for her to feel it justified the $150 cost. 

After noticing the difference in her before-and-after photos, she felt the results were not significant enough to make her want the treatment again.

Kaitlyn Gero's results from using Lip Flip showed that her gums were no longer visible when she smiled. 

In her after-treatment update, shared just over two weeks after the procedure, she highlighted this change by saying “no gums.” 

Her results reflected a clear improvement in the appearance of her smile, although no specific measurement was provided.

Sierra's results from using Lip Flip included a more visible Cupid’s bow, which gave her upper lip a more defined appearance. 

After about five days, she noticed that the shape was easier to see. By the three-week update, she confirmed that the change remained subtle but made her upper lip more prominent.
