Discreet lip volume with the lip flip method at Aesthetify in Munich
A lip flip is the perfect alternative to a lip filler or can also be booked as a combination. It is a very subtle way of emphasizing the lips without making them look too voluminous. The difference is subtle but effective and looks very natural.
The lip-flip technique
During a lip flip in our Munich practice, botulinum toxin – Botox® for short – is injected into the muscle area at the upper edge of the lip. This precise placement causes the muscle to relax slightly, causing the upper lip to curve subtly outwards – hence the name “lip flip”.
The result is a subtle change that emphasizes the natural shape of the lips and makes them appear more voluminous without looking artificial. At the same time, the “gummy smile” is reduced – as it is called when the upper lip becomes narrower when smiling and the gums appear. This is exactly what the lip flip prevents. This method is ideal for anyone who wants a subtle, natural result and wants to gently emphasize the shape of their lips.
Lip flip vs. lip injections
In contrast to classic lip injections, in which hyaluronic acid is injected into the lips to build up volume and fullness, the lip flip is based on a different approach. At our practice in Munich, we use Botox® for this technique. This active ingredient does not have a filling effect, but rather relaxes the muscles in a targeted manner.
Injecting small amounts of Botox® into the muscles above the upper lip gently relaxes them. The relaxed muscles make the lip appear fuller without actually adding volume. While lip injections have a stronger shaping and building effect, the lip flip achieves a subtle, particularly natural result – ideal for anyone who wants a subtle accentuation of their lips.
Procedure of a lip-flip
- Before your lip flip treatment, we start with a detailed consultation in our practice in Munich. Together, we will discuss your wishes and analyze the individual anatomy of your face. We attach great importance to emphasizing your natural beauty and achieving an authentic result without an artificial look.
- Before the treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and, if desired, an anesthetic cream is applied to make the lip flip as comfortable as possible.
- We use ultra-fine needles to inject a small amount of Botox® specifically into the muscles at the upper edge of the lips. The application only takes a few minutes and is so uncomplicated that it can be easily integrated into a lunch break.
- After the lip flip, our team will give you all the important instructions for aftercare. For the first 48 hours, you should avoid sport, intense heat and UV radiation. As there is usually no swelling, you will be socially acceptable again immediately. The result will be visible after three to four days.

Things to know about the lip-flip in Munich
Effect of Botox®
Botox® specifically influences the communication between nerves and muscles: Muscle activity is gently reduced for a certain period of time, which visibly relaxes and smoothes the treated region. With the lip flip, we make use of precisely this effect in Munich. Precise injections at the upper edge of the lip allow the muscles to relax slightly so that the lip gently curves outwards. Botulinum toxin is one of the most proven substances in modern aesthetic medicine and is a very safe active ingredient.
Durability
The first results of the lip-flip are visible after just two to three days. The full effect unfolds within a few days as soon as the treated muscles relax. As Botox® is broken down naturally by the body, the effect usually lasts for four to eight months. The exact duration depends on individual factors such as metabolism and muscle activity. If you would like to maintain the lip-flip effect permanently, the treatment can be refreshed at any time in our Munich practice.
Costs
The treatment costs are based on the scale of fees for doctors (GOÄ) and serve as a guide. As each lip flip treatment is individually tailored to your anatomy and wishes, the exact price at our clinic in Munich depends on the Botox® material required and the extent of the treatment. As a rule, you can expect to pay from around 200 euros. Of course, we will provide you with a transparent quote after the consultation and joint treatment planning.
FAQ
Is a lip flip suitable for everyone?
A lip flip is ideal for people who want a very natural and subtle change – for example, to soften the “gummy smile” or to achieve a visually fuller upper lip. If, on the other hand, you want more volume or a more pronounced change in shape, lip injections with hyaluronic acid may be the better choice. We will be happy to advise you individually on the method that best suits your face and your aesthetics.
Is the lip-flip technique safe?
Yes, the lip-flip is considered a very safe procedure – especially when performed by experienced doctors. At Aesthetify in Munich, we attach great importance to the highest medical standards, precise injection techniques and individual treatment planning. Side effects such as slight redness or minimal swelling can occur in rare cases, but usually subside completely within a short time.
What is the difference between lip flip and lip filler?
Lip flip uses Botox®, which is injected specifically into the muscle areas at the upper lip edge. It does not lead to an increase in volume, but relaxes the muscle, causing the upper lip to gently curve outwards and appear fuller. A lip filler – usually based on hyaluronic acid – on the other hand, directly increases the volume of the lips. We will be happy to discuss which method suits you best during a personal appointment at our practice in Munich.
Is a lip flip painful?
Most patients at our clinic in Munich describe the lip-flip treatment as virtually painless. The injections are very fine and precise. If desired, we can apply an anaesthetic cream beforehand to make the treatment experience even more pleasant.
Can lip injections be combined with a lip flip?
In fact, the combination of a lip flip with Botox® and lip injections with hyaluronic acid is particularly popular – also in our Munich practice. This allows various aesthetic goals to be achieved at the same time: a gentle volume increase, a harmonious lip contour and the correction of a “gummy smile”. Our experienced doctors optimally coordinate both methods to achieve a naturally beautiful overall result that suits you perfectly.
Do the lips look fake after a lip-flip treatment?
The lip flip in particular is a popular method of discreetly shaping the lips without appearing artificial. At Aesthetify, we also attach great importance not to changing your personality and unique facial features, but to emphasizing them aesthetically. That’s why we use a very gentle Botox® injection for lip flips in Munich, which refines your appearance while you remain yourself.
