Botox Lip Flip
Not everyone wants plumper lips — some simply wish for more visible shape, better balance, and a refined smile. This is where the Botox Lip Flip comes in. Unlike fillers, which add volume, the Lip Flip works by relaxing the muscle around the upper lip, allowing the lip to slightly ‘roll out’ and appear fuller and more defined — without adding any additional product or weight.
This subtle enhancement has gained popularity in areas like Tunbridge Wells and London, especially among younger clients or those exploring aesthetic treatments for the first time. At rtwskin, we perform the Lip Flip with Botox using precise, low-dose techniques for results that look natural and harmonious with your facial anatomy.

Learn more about the Botox Lip Flip
The Lip Flip using Botox is an elegant solution for patients who feel their upper lip disappears when smiling, or who want a more pronounced Cupid’s bow. It involves small injections of Botox into the orbicularis oris muscle — the muscle surrounding the mouth — which relaxes its inward tension. This causes the top lip to gently flip outward, revealing more of the pink lip without adding bulk.
The result? A fuller-looking upper lip, a softened ‘gummy’ smile, and a more balanced lip-to-tooth ratio when you smile.

What Problems Does the Service Solve?
The botox flip lip technique is an excellent solution for:
- A disappearing upper lip when smiling
- A smile that shows too much gum tissue
- Thin or ‘tucked’ upper lip appearance
- Mild asymmetry between the upper and lower lip
- Overly strong upper lip movement when talking or smiling
Unlike filler, it doesn’t add volume — which makes it ideal for those who prefer a natural look or are new to aesthetic treatments.
How It Works
Botox for Lip Flip works by relaxing the superficial fibres of the orbicularis oris. This muscle controls lip movement and tightness. When we inject a small amount of botulinum toxin into the upper lip area, the muscle gently releases, which allows the lip to relax and slightly evert (flip outward).
The result is not an increase in volume but a shift in positioning that makes the lip more visible. It enhances the lip’s profile, especially when smiling, and helps reduce tension in the upper lip — ideal for those who feel their lip ‘disappears’ when they grin.
Which Areas Can It Treat?
-
Upper Lip Border:
Slight elevation and exposure of more lip surface with flip lip botox.
-
Cupid’s Bow Definition:
Creates shape without fillers or augmentation.
-
Corner Lift:
Helps relax downward tension, especially when paired with botox marionette lines.
-
Smile Balance:
A great option for those whose upper lip curls under when smiling — similar to botox gummy smile.
-
Fine Lines Around the Mouth:
Softens movement-related creases and may complement dissolving dermal filler in the area.
