What is A Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a subtle cosmetic procedure that uses Botox to relax the upper lip muscle, making more of your lip visible when you smile. At Esthetic Finesse in Scottsdale, RN Diane Howard customizes each treatment for natural results—without filler.

So how does it work? A lip flip uses small amounts of Botox (or Dysport) to relax the orbicularis oris muscle just above your upper lip. This allows the top lip to gently “flip” outward, making more of it visible—especially when you smile.
