Botox Lip Flip
Your upper lip disappears when you smile. It's not a volume problem — it's a muscle problem.
What Is A Botox Lip Flip
A Botox lip flip is a subtle treatment where a small amount of Botox is placed above the upper lip to relax the muscle. This allows the lip to gently roll outward, making it appear fuller without adding volume.
This treatment is often combined with lip filler for best results!
How the Botox Lip Flip Works at Maintenance Bar
Consultation and lip assessment
We assess your lip shape, muscle movement, and how much your upper lip shows when you smile to determine if a lip flip is right for you.
Precise injection placement
Four to six injection points along the upper lip's vermilion border.
Results
Don't expect bigger—expect better. More lip showing, less disappearing when you smile.
Follow Up
It takes 2 weeks for the lip flip to fully kick in. We'll check in around then to make sure that you're happy with your results!
What to Expect from a Botox Lip Flip at Maintenance Bar
After your lip flip, you won't see results immediately.
Day 3–5: you'll start to notice your upper lip flipping outward.
Day 10–14: full results—more lip showing, softer smile, better balance.
Lip flip results typically last 6-8 weeks. Many patients pair this treatment with lip filler to relax the muscle that is pulling their lip under and add volume to their lips.
It's not instant—and it's not dramatic. It's subtle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a lip flip affect how I drink or speak?
You might notice it for a few days—especially with certain words—but it's temporary and most people adjust quickly.
How is a lip flip different from lip filler?
Lip flip = no volume, just a flip. Lip filler = actual volume and shape.
Can I get a lip flip and filler at the same appointment?
Yes—and we often do. Combining a lip flip with lip filler gives you both: better lip show and added shape/volume for a more balanced result.
How long until I see lip flip results?
It takes up to 14 days to see full results from your lip flip!
Will the lip flip make my smile look weird?
No—but it may feel a little different at first. Your smile won't look weird, it'll just show more of your upper lip. There can be a short adjustment period while the muscle relaxes.
