Subtle, natural lip enhancement — no filler required.
At Two Chicks Aesthetics in Port Jefferson, NY, our Lip Flip treatment uses a few units of neuromodulators like Botox Jeuveau or Dysport to relax the muscles around the upper lip, creating a naturally fuller look without adding volume.
What Is a Lip Flip?
A Lip Flip is a non-filler cosmetic treatment that enhances the shape of your lips using Botox (or similar neuromodulators like Jeuveau or Dysport).
By carefully relaxing the muscles that pull the upper lip inward, the Lip Flip gently “flips” the lip outward — revealing more of your natural lip and giving the appearance of a fuller pout.
This subtle, quick treatment is ideal for those who want more definition or balance without dermal filler.
How the Lip Flip Works
Consultation – We discuss your desired lip shape, smile dynamics, and facial balance.
Precise Injections – Small doses of neuromodulators like Botox Jeuveau or Dysport are injected just above the upper lip (orbicularis oris muscle).
Relaxation Phase – The muscle relaxes over several days, gently rolling the lip upward.
Natural Results – Within 7–10 days, your lips appear more defined and subtly plumper.
The treatment takes about 10 minutes and requires no downtime.

Safety & Side Effects
Lip flips are very safe when performed by a skilled injector.
Possible short-term effects include:
- Mild swelling or redness at injection sites
- Slight numbness or tightness
- Temporary difficulty using a straw or whistling (resolves as Botox settles)
The effect typically starts within 3–5 days and reaches full results around 10–14 days.
Downtime & Aftercare
You can resume normal activity immediately.
We recommend:
- Avoid lying flat for 4 hours after treatment
- No strenuous exercise or alcohol the day of treatment
- Avoid massaging or touching the area
- Results appear gradually and last about 8–12 weeks
A follow-up visit every 3 months maintains your desired look.

- Feel your upper lip disappears when smiling
- Have a “gummy” smile and want to reduce gum show

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Lip Flip last?
Around 2–3 months; consistent treatments can help the effect last longer.
Is it painful?
Most clients describe it as a small pinch — we use fine needles and can apply numbing if desired.
Can I combine it with filler?
Yes! A Lip Flip pairs beautifully with lip filler for shape and volume.
When will I see results?
Within 3–5 days, with full results by 10–14 days.
Can it fix a gummy smile?
