Description
Doctor-Led Lip Flip in Moorgate
A lip flip is a subtle, non-surgical treatment designed to enhance upper lip shape and improve smile balance by relaxing the orbicularis oris muscle.
At AesthetiCare Clinic in Moorgate, in the heart of the City of London, lip flip treatments are performed exclusively by Dr Khaula, a GMC-registered doctor, using precise, conservative dosing to enhance your smile while maintaining natural lip movement.
What Is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip uses small, targeted anti-wrinkle injections around the upper lip to:
• Gently roll the upper lip outward
• Increase visible lip height without filler
• Reduce a gummy smile
• Soften upper lip “barcode” lines (vertical lip lines)
• Improve lip definition at rest and when smiling
This is ideal for patients whose upper lip disappears when smiling or curls excessively inward.
Lip Flip vs Lip Filler
Unlike dermal filler, a lip flip does not add volume.
Instead, it relaxes the muscle to subtly reposition the lip, creating a natural enhancement without heaviness or overfilling.
It can also complement lip filler for balanced results.
Upper Lip Wrinkles (Barcode / Smoker’s Lines)
Vertical lines above the upper lip form due to repetitive muscle movement and collagen loss.
Precise anti-wrinkle treatment softens these lines while maintaining speech and lip function. Conservative dosing is essential to avoid stiffness — this is where doctor-led treatment matters.
