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. This effect makes the lip appear fuller and at the same time reduces the visible gums when smiling.
The name “lip flip” is derived precisely from this gentle outward folding of the lip. The result is a subtle change that emphasizes the natural lip shape without appearing artificial. The method is particularly suitable for anyone who wants a harmonious and subtle result.
In contrast to classic lip injections, where hyaluronic acid is injected into the lips to build up volume and fullness, the lip flip is based on a different approach. In our practice in Munich, we use Botox® for this technique – not as a filler, but for targeted muscle relaxation.
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.
The lip flip is one of the most popular treatments in our Munich practice – and for good reason. This method has a number of convincing advantages that make it interesting:
The lip flip is an effective option for a natural-looking lip correction, especially due to the discreet result – in line with the aesthetic philosophy of Aesthetify in Munich.
At Aesthetify, the focus is on you as a person – with all your individual characteristics, wishes and your own personal charisma. Our aim is not to implement a standardized ideal of beauty, but to carefully emphasize your natural beauty. A lip flip requires a great deal of sensitivity, medical precision and a trained aesthetic sense. This is exactly what we can offer you in Munich.
Our experienced doctors analyze your face as a whole and ensure that the result harmonizes with your facial expressions, lip shape and expression. At Aesthetify, we deliberately focus on subtle changes that preserve your personality while gently refining your appearance. With lip flips in particular, less is often more – and that’s exactly what we know how to do. At our Munich practice, you can rely on sensitive advice, the highest level of expertise and a result that looks authentic and elegantly emphasizes your individual beauty.
Even though the lip flip treatment itself only takes a few minutes, we at Aesthetify in Munich attach great importance to a personal, detailed consultation. In our stylishly furnished practice rooms, we take the time to discuss your wishes and ideas and to check whether a lip flip is the right method for your concerns. The actual treatment is precise and gentle – it usually only takes a few minutes and is so uncomplicated that it can also be carried out during a lunch break. As there is no significant swelling, you will be fit for social life immediately afterwards.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Whether wrinkle injections, lip augmentation or contouring for your face. Hyaluronic acid is the all-purpose weapon for a long-term beauty experience.
