Just 4–6 units of Botox injected along the upper lip border subtly flips the lip outward for a fuller, more defined look. Starting at $40. No filler required. Zero downtime. Results in 3–5 days.
4–6 units of Botox are placed along the upper lip border (orbicularis oris muscle).
The muscle gently relaxes, causing the upper lip to subtly roll outward — revealing more of your lip.

A lip flip uses 4–6 units of Botox injected into the orbicularis oris muscle along the upper lip border. This relaxes the muscle and causes the upper lip to subtly "flip" upward and outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip — without filler.
A lip flip at Hello Gorgeous starts at $40–$80 depending on the number of units needed (typically 4–6 units at $10/unit). It's one of the most affordable cosmetic treatments we offer.
A lip flip relaxes the upper lip muscle to reveal more of your existing lip — it doesn't add volume. Lip filler (hyaluronic acid) adds actual volume and definition. Many clients do both for a comprehensive lip enhancement.
A lip flip typically lasts 6–8 weeks — shorter than other Botox areas because the lips move frequently with eating, talking, and expression. Many clients repeat every 2 months to maintain the look.
Most clients describe it as a tiny pinch — the needle is very fine and only 4–6 injection points are made. Numbing cream is available upon request. Downtime is essentially zero.
Ideal candidates want a subtle upper lip enhancement without filler, have a "gummy smile" they want to minimize, or want to preview lip augmentation before committing to filler. Your NP will evaluate your lip anatomy at your free consultation.
Absolutely — this is a very popular combination at Hello Gorgeous. The lip flip defines the vermillion border while filler adds volume. The result is a naturally full, beautifully defined lip. Your NP will recommend the right combination for your goals.

“DON'T PASS THIS PLACE UP! I'm so happy with my B12 and Biotin vitamin shots, and the pricing is great. I'm also receiving Botox to treat referred pain and my results are amazing. I'm so happy! Ryan is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and excellent at administering the injections painlessly. Both Ryan and Danielle are so welcoming that you feel like you're with friends during your visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”

“Love Hello Gorgeous! I’ve gotten my lashes done by Michelle a few times and they always turn out amazing. Recently started Frotox with Danielle and my skin has never looked better & after 1 session I already see some of the results I want. They’re both so great at what they do I can’t recommend them enough! Sending my friends & fam here for their pre-holiday glam :)”
