Lip Flip Sydney

Lip Flip Sydney – V Beauty

At V Beauty Sydney, Lip Flip treatments are performed by registered health practitioners in a clinical setting. This minimally invasive procedure may be considered by individuals who are seeking a subtle enhancement in the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume through dermal fillers.

What Is a Lip Flip?

A Lip Flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a prescription-only muscle relaxant (botulinum toxin type A). Small amounts are injected into specific muscles around the upper lip (typically the orbicularis oris), causing the lip to gently roll outward.

This effect may enhance the visibility of the upper lip when smiling or at rest, without adding volume.

Who Might Consider a Lip Flip?

A Lip Flip may be discussed with your practitioner if you:

• Prefer subtle lip enhancement without dermal fillers

• Notice that your upper lip curls inward when smiling

• Are seeking a lower-dose, temporary option

• Would like to address mild vertical lines above the upper lip

Who May Not Be Suitable?

A Lip Flip treatment may not be suitable for individuals who:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Have certain neuromuscular disorders (e.g. myasthenia gravis)

• Are allergic or sensitive to any component of the product used

• Are seeking significant lip volume increase

A consultation with a qualified health practitioner is required to determine your individual suitability.
