Lip-Flip in Frankfurt
by Aesthetify
A genuine smile says more than a thousand words. It shows empathy, feelings and personality. This makes it all the more unfortunate when people are reluctant to smile because they are unhappy with their lips or a so-called “gummy smile”, where a lot of gum is shown when smiling. At Aesthetify in Frankfurt, we understand these insecurities and offer a gentle but effective treatment with a natural result: the lip flip. With a targeted Botox® injection, we shape your upper lip so that it is slightly raised. This creates a harmonious smile that conceals the gums and makes the lips appear more defined. It is only a slight, subtle change for your face, but a big one for your self-confidence – so that you can go through everyday life looking radiant again.

Lip-flip in Frankfurt - how it works
Fast, safe, natural results: the lip flip at Aesthetify in Frankfurt is the perfect solution if you want subtly fuller lips but don’t want to undergo a major procedure. The effect is not instantaneous, but occurs discreetly over several days – making your new smile look even more natural.
What is a lip flip?
A lip flip, as we perform at Aesthetify in Frankfurt, is a small procedure with a big effect. We inject a tiny amount of botulinum toxin (known under the brand name Botox®) into the edge of the upper lip area – very precisely and with great sensitivity. The muscles there relax, causing the upper lip to gently tilt outwards. It is precisely this effect – “flipping” – that ensures that the lip shows more surface area when smiling, appears more defined and at the same time conceals the gums. The result is a natural, harmonious look that does not restrict your facial expressions but subtly enhances them.
Lip-flip or hyaluronic acid? The subtle difference
You may be asking yourself: What is the difference between a lip flip and classic lip injections with hyaluronic acid?
While hyaluronic acid treatment involves the targeted injection of volume into the lip, the lip flip has a completely different – more subtle – effect. Instead of a filler, we at Aesthetify in Frankfurt only use Botox® for the lip flip treatment. The toxin is not injected into the lip itself, but into the upper edge. The muscle relaxes, the lip rolls slightly outwards and thus appears fuller – without actually adding volume.
The result is particularly natural. It is ideal for anyone who does not want an “injected” look, but just a subtle improvement – for example, with a narrow upper lip or a dominant gummy smile.

Things to know about the lip-flip in Frankfurt
Durability
How long the lip flip remains visible depends on several factors. On average, the result lasts between four and eight months. Individual aspects such as your metabolism, muscle activity and lifestyle play a role here. If you laugh a lot, do a lot of sport or simply genetically lose weight faster, you may need a refresher a little sooner. As soon as you notice that the effect is wearing off, you can easily make a new appointment for a lip-flip refresher at Aesthetify in Frankfurt.
Procedure
Before we start the lip flip treatment, we take the time for a personal consultation at Aesthetify in Frankfurt. We not only look at your lip shape, but also your facial expressions and your wishes. We describe the procedure to you and clarify any unanswered questions – honestly and clearly. The actual treatment is then uncomplicated and quick: in just a few minutes, a small amount of Botox® is injected specifically at the edge of the lips. Afterwards, you will be socially acceptable and can return to your everyday life straight away. The effect is not immediate, but develops over several days. The final result is visible after around two weeks.
What you should consider before and after treatment
For optimal results and minimal side effects, you should heed the following advice:
- To minimize the risk of bruising, you should avoid alcohol as well as blood-thinning and anti-inflammatory medication for about a week before the procedure.
- You should remain upright for about four hours after the treatment.
- If possible, do not touch the treated area for the first 24 hours. Do not massage the puncture sites!
- You should also avoid strenuous exercise and saunas for 24 hours.
Risks and side effects
In principle, the lip-flip is considered a very low-risk and safe treatment – especially when it is performed by experienced doctors such as those at Aesthetify in Frankfurt. Nevertheless, in rare cases there may be slight side effects, such as a slight feeling of pressure or small swellings at the injection site, which subside after a few days. Minimal, temporary asymmetries are also possible. These usually balance out completely on their own.
Our experts ensure that every procedure is carried out with the utmost precision and a dosage tailored to you in order to minimize risks as much as possible.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a lip-flip cost?
We will discuss the cost of a lip flip with you at our appointment in Frankfurt. The exact price always depends on your individual findings and the recommended method. We charge according to the official scale of fees for doctors (GOÄ).
Which is better: hyaluronic acid or Botox®?
It all depends on the result you want to achieve. If you want a major change with a lot of volume in the lips, we recommend an injection with hyaluronic acid. If you are looking for a subtle change that looks very natural and covers the gums when you smile, you should consider a lip flip. In Frankfurt, we will check together in advance whether a lip flip with Botox® or a treatment with hyaluronic acid is more suitable for you. This will give you a result that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also suits you.
How quickly will I be socially acceptable again after the lip flip?
Immediately afterwards. There may be a little redness or swelling, but this is minimal and can be easily covered up. Many people go straight back to work or meeting friends afterwards.
Can the lip flip affect speaking or smiling?
Not if it is carried out professionally by our specialists at Aesthetify. In the first few days, the lip movement may feel a little unfamiliar, but this quickly subsides and does not permanently impair speech or the smile.
When will I see the results of the treatment?
The effect of the injections unfolds gradually. You will see the first changes after three to five days. The full result is usually visible after around two weeks.
