What Is A Lip Flip?
Are you considering enhancing your upper lip without the expense and long-term commitment of lip fillers? The lip flip procedure at our Westlake Village and Studio City, CA practice offers an appealing solution. By utilizing a neurotoxin to gently relax the upper lip muscles, this technique allows the lip to settle in a slightly lower position, giving it a fuller appearance. The results start to show within 7 – 10 days after treatment and last for about 12 – 16 weeks, offering a temporary alternative compared to the 12 – 18 months duration of traditional fillers. This makes the lip flip ideal for those curious about how fuller lips might enhance their look without the hefty investment. For a natural-looking boost to your lip volume, consider scheduling a consultation at Starr MedSpa to discover more about the lip flip and how it can provide the desirable effect of lip fillers at a fraction of the cost.
How Is A Lip Flip Performed?
The lip flip in one of our comfortable procedure rooms at Starr MedSpa's Westlake Village or Studio City, CA location typically takes about 15 minutes to complete. Once our certified aesthetic nurse injector has walked you through the paperwork, she will clean your upper lip and prepare for the treatment. Units of neurotoxin (BOTOX® or Dysport®) will be injected into your upper lip, causing it to relax and rest lower on the mouth. This new placement is slightly turned up, causing the lip to appear fuller. The neurotoxin requires 7 – 10 days to "settle in," and after that period, you will begin to see results.
Frequency of treatment: every 1.5 – 3 months
What Are the Benefits of A Lip Lift?
A lip flip gives you full, sexy lips without the expense, downtime, and recovery of a surgical lip procedure. This injectable treatment option has many benefits, including:
- Increases the appearance of slim lips
- Creates balance to unbalanced lips
- Elevates facial aesthetic
- Makes up for age-related volume loss
Starr MedSpa Reviews
An amazing, amazing med spa! They are so welcoming, accommodating, honest and overall provide an exceptional experience no matter what type of service you are receiving—tox, filler, slim shots, peels, and lasers. I 100% trust Tenley and the team she has built around her! The slim shots work just have to trust the process and Tenley and her team are so open to answering questions quickly if I ever had any!
So thankful for Starr Medspa in helping me reach my health and wellness goals! So helpful in getting off stubborn stomach weight, or all overall toning up. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get the help they need for their aesthetic goals.
The GLP-1 shot has been a game changer for me. I am 4 yrs into my perimenopause and my weight gain was bad. Luckily I have healthy eating and gym habits but my body decided those are no longer “good enough”. After a lot of research on glp-1s I decided to give it a try with Starr MedSpa (Studio City). The team is very informative, kind and SO GENTLE with the shots. When I had minor side effects they adjusted my dose and now I’m back on track. I have lost 5 lbs in 1 month (this is a normal- healthy way to lose weight) and I feel really great on this medication!
I love coming to Starr MedSpa! It is incredibly beautiful and such a relaxing place. I've been going to nurse Alii to get my slim shot for the past couple months and omggg the results have been amazing!!! I've lost 15lbs within 3 months. I've had no side effects, everything has been great! Nurse Alii has been wonderful and I always feel comfortable in her care.
I have been coming to Starr Medspa since the start! I trust Tenley and the nurses there 100%. I recently started with their skinny shots as well and I am already noticing a difference. Super excited to see how I progress!

Lip Flip FAQ
How soon after a lip flip can I apply makeup?
You can generally apply makeup to your lips the day after your lip flip treatment. However, it's advisable to wait at least 24 hours to ensure the area is not irritated. Using gentle, non-irritating lip products can help maintain the results of your lip flip. Be sure to clean your makeup applicators and avoid vigorously rubbing or massaging the treated area to prevent potential complications.
Is there any discomfort during the lip flip procedure?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during a lip flip procedure. The injections are quick, and the needles used are very fine, which reduces the sensation of pain. A numbing cream can also be applied to the area beforehand to further minimize discomfort. Any slight stinging or tenderness experienced during the injections typically subsides quickly.
How do I prepare for a lip flip appointment?
To prepare for a lip flip, avoid taking blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as aspirin or fish oil, for at least a week before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising. Refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours before the procedure as it can increase the likelihood of swelling. Arriving with a clean face, free of makeup, will also help your provider ensure a sterile treatment environment.
