Let’s clear something up: if you’re hoping for a perfectly rejuvenated pout without surgery, it’s time for a reality check. While we all wish for the transformative effects of a surgical procedure minus the scalpel, that’s just not the way it works—yet. Although a non-surgical lip lift isn’t possible, we offer treatments that can deliver some of the same benefits without surgery.
The Reality of Lip Lifts
If you’re looking to shorten the space between your philtrum and vermilion border, surgery is your only real option. The procedure leaves behind a subtle scar cleverly hidden under your nose—a small trade-off for naturally fuller lips without the overfilled “duck lip” look. So, let’s be honest: injections alone can’t achieve what requires surgical precision.
The Lip Flip: A Non-Surgical Option for Subtle Enhancement
If surgery isn’t on your radar just yet, but you still want a little boost, the lip flip might be the right choice for you. Using a neurotoxin to temporarily relax the top part of the orbicularis oris muscle, the lip flip gently rolls your upper lip outward, giving the illusion of added volume—without the exaggerated look no one really wants.
For those who are hesitant to fully commit, the lip flip offers a natural-looking enhancement that whispers fullness, rather than shouting it.
Know Your Goals
If you’re after a youthful, plump appearance, over-relying on fillers alone to reverse aging lips might not give you the result you’re hoping for. In fact, filler works best when paired with procedures like a lip flip or a surgical lift, especially when aiming for natural-looking volume. Simply adding filler to a thinning, aging lip often emphasizes the issue, rather than remedying it.
So, before rushing into any treatment, take a moment to think about your long-term goals and how to achieve a naturally enhanced look that truly suits you. Prioritize your ideal outcome instead of chasing the idea of a non-surgical lip lift.
