Botox Lip Flip in Edmonton – Subtle Upper‑Lip Enhancement

If your upper lip thins or curls inward when you smile, a Botox lip flip could offer the subtle, natural-looking enhancement you’re after. At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre in Edmonton, our experienced injectors use precise doses of neuromodulator to relax the upper lip muscles. This causes the lip to gently roll outward, exposing more of the pink lip without adding bulk. The result is a softly enhanced lip line and a reduction in a “gummy smile.”

How Does a Lip Flip Work?

During your lip flip appointment, our injector will map out a few strategic injection points near the cupid’s bow and corners of the mouth. By carefully relaxing just the outermost muscle fibers of the orbicularis oris, the lip flips outward. The dose is small (typically 4–6 units) so that your lip looks natural and retains full function. Additional units may be used to relax the elevator muscles if you’d like to minimise gum show.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Botox lip flip?

A lip flip is a non‑surgical procedure in which small amounts of neuromodulator (Botox or Dysport) are injected into the muscles around the upper lip. As the muscles relax, the lip gently flips outward, creating a fuller, more defined appearance.
Unlike lip fillers, which add volume by injecting hyaluronic acid gel directly into the lips, a lip flip uses Botox to relax the muscles. The result is subtler and does not add bulk. It’s ideal for correcting a gummy smile or improving lip shape without extra volume.
Most clients describe the injections as quick pinches or pressure. We can apply a topical numbing cream or ice to make you more comfortable.
The effects of a lip flip generally last 2–4 months. Regular maintenance treatments will keep your lip looking consistently enhanced.
People with thin upper lips that disappear when smiling, or those who want to correct a gummy smile without adding volume, usually benefit most. A consultation will help determine if this treatment suits your goals.
Yes. Many of our clients combine a lip flip with Botox injections for other facial areas, dermal fillers, or laser rejuvenation to achieve comprehensive aesthetic results. Our team can tailor a plan to your needs.
