What does
Lip Flip
target?

Thin lips, volume loss, undefined lip borders, cupid's bow flatness, lip asymmetry, fine lines around the mouth, and patients who want fuller lips that still look like their own. Lip filler is one of the most common and most technique-dependent injectable treatments.

How does
Lip Flip
work?

An FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler is injected using advanced techniques tailored to your lip anatomy and goals. Your injector controls depth, placement, and volume to enhance shape, define borders, and add fullness while maintaining natural movement. HA filler also attracts moisture for improved lip hydration and softness.

Why choose
Lip Flip
at Better Med Spa?

Our injectors follow a K-Beauty philosophy: enhance what you have rather than impose an artificial look. Every lip treatment starts with a conversation about what you want and an honest assessment of what will look right on your face. Natural results, Lincoln Park expertise.

How is a lip flip different from lip filler?

A lip flip enhances the lip’s shape and the appearance of fullness by relaxing the muscle, while lip fillers (like Juvederm or Restylane) actually add volume to the lips. A lip flip is ideal for subtle enhancement and showing more of your natural upper lip.

Who is a good candidate for a lip flip?

A Lip Flip treatment is great for people who want a modest boost to their upper lip, especially if their lips almost disappear when they smile or if they want to minimize a “gummy” smile without dramatic volume.

Can a Lip Flip be combined with fillers?

You’ll notice subtle improvement in 3–7 days, with full effect at about 2 weeks. Results typically last 2–3 months, after which touch-ups are needed to maintain your look.

Is there any downtime for a Lip Flip treatment?

No downtime is necessary. You may have mild swelling or redness at the injection sites, but most people resume normal activities immediately.

What are the risks or side effects?

Side effects are rare and temporary, but may include swelling, bruising, or mild difficulty drinking from straws or pursing your lips.

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being.

I'll be back again."
