The Glow-Up Everyone Will Notice

Louisville Lip Flip at Scout Aesthetics

Sometimes it's not about making something bigger, it's about letting it show up more naturally. If your upper lip seems to disappear when you smile, or you want just a hint of fullness and lift, a lip flip might be the subtle touch you've been looking for. It's a simple way to enhance your lip's natural shape and reveal more of your smile, without surgery or added volume.

At Scout Aesthetics in Louisville, KY, Jennifer Fick, DNP, offers lip flip treatments that prioritize balance and authenticity. With years of experience and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, she focuses on creating beautiful, natural-looking results. We're here to help you feel more confident in your appearance, with care that's personal, professional, and completely centered on you.

Let Your Upper Lip Speak Up

What is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that uses small amounts of neuromodulators, such as Botox®, injected into the muscles just above your upper lip. These muscles are responsible for pulling your lip inward when you smile or speak. By gently relaxing them, the upper lip can "flip" outward slightly, making more of your lip visible and creating the illusion of added volume.

Unlike traditional lip filler, which adds volume by injecting hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, a lip flip enhances your lip's appearance by influencing muscle behavior. It's a top-notch option for patients who want a more defined smile, with minimal downtime and no long-term commitment. This non-surgical treatment is quick, subtle, and temporary, yet the refreshed appearance it provides can look and feel amazing.

Tiny Tweaks. Noticeable Difference.

Lip Flip Benefits

A lip flip doesn't change who you are. It just lets more of your natural beauty shine through. Patients love this treatment because it:

Gives the appearance of a fuller upper lip without adding filler or volume, the lip looks more pronounced and youthful
Softens the look of a gummy smile by reducing how much of the gums show when smiling
Smooths fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the upper lip, where aging can cause creases
Improves lipstick application with more visible surface area and fewer feathering lines
Delivers a refreshed, natural look, especially when paired with other enhancements like chin balancing or skin treatments
Offers a low-commitment, temporary solution perfect for patients trying lip enhancement for the first time

Who It’s For (and Who It’s Not)

Lip Flip Candidates

The ideal candidate for a lip flip is someone looking for a subtle enhancement that emphasizes the upper lip without dramatically changing facial features. You may be a great candidate if:

Good candidates are:

You notice your upper lip disappears when you smile
You want a mild, natural-looking enhancement rather than added volume
You're interested in alternatives to lip filler
You have mild lines around the lips due to aging or sun exposure
You're in overall good health and not pregnant or nursing

Contraindications include:

Pregnancy or breastfeeding
A history of allergies to botulinum toxin
Certain neuromuscular conditions or medications
Ongoing inflammation or infection near the injection site

If you're unsure, visiting a qualified provider like Jennifer Fick, DNP, for a consultation ensures the treatment is both safe and suited to your unique goals.

Your Face, Our Focus

Your Lip Flip Consultation

Your visit begins with a consultation where we will take time to understand your aesthetic goals and facial anatomy. Our approach is grounded in education and conversation. We'll explore whether a lip flip, lip filler, or a combination of treatments might help you achieve your best look. We'll review your medical history, discuss what to expect, and go over any questions you have, from how the injections work to how to manage swelling or reduce inflammation post-procedure.

To prepare for your consultation and treatment:

Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for five to seven days
Steer clear of alcohol for at least 24 hours beforehand
Arrive with a clean face and no lip products

From Start to Subtle Finish

Your Lip Flip Procedure

The lip flip procedure itself is quick and virtually painless. Here's what to expect:

The treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes
Tiny injections are made just above the upper lip border using a fine needle
Most patients report only mild discomfort; numbing cream is optional
You can return to most daily activities right away, with minimal restrictions

Because this is a precision-based treatment involving delicate lip muscles, experience matters. Dr. Fick's expertise helps ensure even results and a natural appearance.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Results typically begin to show within three to seven days, with full effects appearing around the two-week mark. Most patients love the subtle flip and increased lip visibility that appears gradually, making the change feel natural and refined.

What to expect post-treatment:

Minor swelling or tenderness may occur near the injection site immediately after treatment
Avoid lying flat, rubbing the area, or applying pressure for four to six hours
No strenuous exercise, facials, or heat exposure (like saunas) for 24 hours
Most side effects are mild and resolve quickly

The lip flip effect usually lasts two to three months. Many patients choose to maintain results with repeat treatments or combine the lip flip with other procedures for a more comprehensive enhancement.

How much does a Lip Flip cost?

At Scout Aesthetics, each lip flip treatment is customized based on your facial anatomy and goals. While it's more affordable than dermal fillers or surgical options, costs can vary depending on the specific technique used, the number of units injected, and whether additional treatments (such as lip filler or a lip lift) are included.

Typically, your fee covers:

Consultation with Dr. Fick
Product used (e.g., Botox)
Injections and facility costs
Post-treatment follow-up and care

Exact pricing is discussed during your consultation, so you can feel confident and informed.
