    Discover the subtle art of the lip flip at Nurse Injector Shayse in Edmonton. A gentle treatment that may enhance your natural upper lip without adding volume—perfect for those seeking a refined, natural-looking result.

    What Is a Lip Flip, and How Much Does It Cost in Edmonton?

    A lip flip at Vivere Skin & Body, Edmonton costs $85 flat. RN Shayse uses a small amount of neuromodulator along the upper lip border to create a gentle outward "flip" — revealing more natural upper lip without adding volume. Results appear in 3–5 days and last 6–10 weeks (per published neuromodulator clinical data). May also reduce gummy smile appearance. Complimentary consultation included. Results vary by individual.

    Understanding the Lip Flip

    A subtle enhancement technique that's become increasingly popular in Edmonton and Sherwood Park for those seeking natural-looking lip refinement.

    How It Works

    The lip flip uses a small amount of neuromodulator—the same product used for Botox treatments—strategically placed along the upper lip border. This relaxes the orbicularis oris muscle, allowing the upper lip to gently roll outward.

    The result is a subtle enhancement that reveals more of your natural lip without adding volume. It's ideal for clients who want a refined look or wish to address a gummy smile.

    Who It's For

    • Those seeking subtle upper lip enhancement
    • Clients wanting a natural, non-volumizing result
    • Individuals who may have a gummy smile
    • First-time clients exploring lip treatments
    • Those with naturally thin upper lips seeking definition

    Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler: Which is Right for You?

    Understanding the difference helps you choose the right treatment for your goals in Edmonton.

    The Combined Approach

    Many clients in Edmonton and Sherwood Park choose to combine a lip flip with lip filler for optimal results—subtle enhancement plus volume. A consultation with Nurse Injector Shayse will help determine the best approach for your unique goals.

    Potential Benefits of a Lip Flip

    Every individual's experience varies. Here are some potential benefits clients in Edmonton may experience.

    Subtle Enhancement

    May enhance the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume for a natural look.

    Gummy Smile Reduction

    May help reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by relaxing the upper lip muscles.

    Balanced Lip Appearance

    May create a more balanced lip ratio without the commitment of filler.

    Quick Treatment

    The procedure typically takes just 10-15 minutes with minimal downtime.

    Temporary Results

    Perfect for those wanting to try lip enhancement before committing to filler.

    Pair with Other Treatments

    Can be combined with lip filler or other Botox treatments like forehead and 11 lines.

    Results vary between individuals. A consultation is required to determine if a lip flip is right for you.

    How Long Does a Lip Flip Last in Edmonton?

    Understanding when to expect results helps with planning—especially for events or weddings in the Edmonton and Sherwood Park area.

    Day 1-2

    Immediately After

    Minimal visible change. Small bumps at injection sites may be present but resolve quickly.

    Day 3-5

    Results Appear

    The neuromodulator begins working. You may notice a subtle flip of the upper lip.

    Day 7-14

    Full Effect

    Results typically peak around 10-14 days. Your upper lip appears subtly enhanced.

    Week 6-10

    Maintenance

    Results gradually wear off. Book a maintenance appointment to maintain your look.

    Planning for an Event or Wedding?

    If you're getting a lip flip before a special occasion, we recommend booking your treatment 2-3 weeks beforehand. This allows time for full results to develop and any minor asymmetries to settle. For weddings, a trial treatment a few months before ensures you love the look.

    Lip Flip Aftercare Checklist

    Following these guidelines helps optimize your results and minimize any temporary side effects.

    Do's

    • Stay upright for 4 hours after treatment
    • Apply ice if needed for minor swelling
    • Drink water and stay hydrated
    • Sleep face-up for the first night
    • Follow up if you have concerns after 2 weeks
    • Take photos to track your results
    • Keep the area clean and avoid touching

    Don'ts

    • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
    • No alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment
    • Avoid hot showers, saunas, or steam for 24 hours
    • Don't massage or press on the treatment area
    • Avoid lying face-down for 4 hours
    • Skip makeup application for 4-6 hours
    • Don't drink through straws for 24-48 hours

    What If My Lip Looks Uneven at First?

    It's normal for results to appear slightly asymmetrical during the first few days as the neuromodulator takes effect. Minor differences typically resolve within 7-14 days as full results develop. If asymmetry persists beyond 2 weeks, contact our Edmonton-area clinic for a follow-up assessment.
