Quick answer

What is a non-surgical lip lift and how long does it last?

A non-surgical lip lift usually combines a Botox lip flip — tiny doses that relax the upper lip muscle so more pink lip shows — with subtle lip filler for definition and support. A lip flip typically lasts around 2–3 months, while filler often lasts 6–12 months. Small Botox doses can also lift downturned corners. A long distance between nose and lip is best corrected surgically.

Treatment time 15–30 min
Downtime Mild swelling 1–2 days
Results visible Days to 2 weeks

FAQ

Non-surgical lip lift questions, answered

What is a lip flip?

A lip flip uses a few tiny Botox injections along the upper lip so the muscle relaxes slightly and the lip rolls outward, showing more pink lip without adding volume.

How long does a non-surgical lip lift last?

A Botox lip flip typically lasts around 2–3 months; lip filler often lasts 6–12 months. Results vary by metabolism and product.

Lip flip vs lip filler — which do I need?

A lip flip changes how much lip shows; filler adds volume and definition. Many people get the most natural result from a light combination.

Can a non-surgical lip lift shorten a long philtrum?

Only slightly. If the distance between nose and lip is long, a surgical lip lift is the more effective option — we will tell you honestly.

Is there downtime?

Minimal. Expect mild swelling for 1–2 days; small bruises can be covered with make-up.
