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
Just want to start off by saying how clean and organized the room is but also how FRIENDLY and comforting Alii is!! She made me feel super comfortable and was patient with me when I needed a moment. I did laser hair removal and did not feel any pain! I can’t imagine anyone else doing my laser or anything else I want to get done aesthetically! I highly recommend Alii if you want amazing service, results, skills and kindness. Thank you Alii!!
Love, Love LOVE Starr Medspa! Tenley is wonderful and does an amazing job on my skin. She is detailed, precise and gentle but gets right to the point of what my face needs. I always feel pampered after I leave her chair and I love her staff who always pamper and make sure I am taken care of. If you haven't been there GO CHECK IT OUT!!!
Alison is the best! I went in with lots of pain because of my TMJ and she was able to give me Botox. I can now chew and all the pain has gone away. She is super knowledgeable and gives honest advice! I will only be coming to her for my services for now on.
Brittney is so thorough in explaining the process beginning to end, aftercare, etc. She is so kind throughout the process and checks in to make sure you are comfortable. I couldn’t recommend or trust someone more with my cosmetic needs and wants! Thank you Brittney and Starrmed Spa! For reference: I have now received a Microneedling treatment, Botox, and Dysport. I am a reoccurring customer of Brittney’s and I absolutely love her!
I enjoyed my first experience at the beautiful Studio City location. Tenley and Danika were extremely professional and knowledgeable. Looking forward to the next visit!

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.
