Dermatology ClinicLip Flip Treatment in Busan, Korea Show a little more of your upper lip without adding volume, or pair it with filler for shape
A lip flip relaxes the muscle that rolls your upper lip inwards when you smile, so more of the pink lip shows. It is subtle, quick and does not add volume. At JRYN Seomyeon, a doctor helps you decide between a lip flip, lip filler or both, and confirms the price first.
What is a lip flip, and is it right for me?
A lip flip is a tiny dose of Botox placed along the upper lip border. It relaxes part of the orbicularis oris, the ring muscle around the mouth, so the upper lip rolls slightly outwards and looks fuller, especially when you smile. It suits people whose upper lip seems to disappear when they smile, or who want a very soft change without filler.
If you want more volume, a clearer outline or a fuller lower lip, filler does that and a lip flip does not. At JRYN Seomyeon, lip flip Botox is priced like a wrinkle area, from ₩10,000 with Korean toxin, and lip filler starts from ₩50,000 (Attierre, under 2 cc). Your doctor confirms the plan and total before treatment.
Lip flip, lip filler or both?
The two treatments do different jobs. Many people start with one and add the other later.
| Lip flip | Lip filler | Both together | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | Rolls the upper lip slightly out | Adds volume and defines the shape | More lip show plus extra volume |
| Adds volume? | No | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Upper lip that disappears when smiling | Thin lips, uneven shape, flat border | Thin upper lip with a gummy, tucked-in smile |
| When you see it | About 3–7 days, full at 2 weeks | Right away, settles over 1–2 weeks | Filler now, flip effect in about a week |
| How long it lasts | Often around 2–3 months | Many months, depends on the filler | Each lasts as on its own |
| JRYN price | From ₩10,000 (Korean toxin) | From ₩50,000 (Attierre) | Combined total confirmed at consultation |
A lip flip uses a very small dose, which is why it wears off sooner than Botox elsewhere on the face. Read more about the Botox lip flip and lip augmentation.

Lip Flip FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
How much is a lip flip in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, a lip flip is priced as one wrinkle Botox area: ₩10,000 with Korean toxin, ₩20,000 with Coretox, ₩50,000 with Dysport or ₩58,000 with Allergan. Your doctor confirms the product and total before treatment.
Does a lip flip make lips bigger?
Not in volume. It rolls the upper lip slightly outwards, so more of the pink part shows and the lip looks fuller, especially when you smile. If you want real volume, lip filler is the better choice.
How long does a lip flip last?
Often around 2 to 3 months, which is shorter than Botox on the forehead because the dose is very small and the lip muscle moves constantly. Results vary from person to person.
Will a lip flip affect talking or drinking?
For the first days some people notice it is a little harder to drink through a straw, whistle or say certain sounds. Your doctor keeps the dose small to limit this, and most people adapt quickly.
Can a lip flip help a gummy smile?
A lip flip changes how the upper lip rolls, while a gummy smile comes from the lip lifting too high. They are related but different treatments. Your doctor may suggest gummy smile Botox instead or as well.
Can I combine a lip flip with lip filler?
Yes. Filler adds volume and shape, and the flip helps more of the upper lip show. They can often be done in the same visit, and your doctor confirms the combined total first.
Is there downtime after a lip flip?
Very little. Tiny marks fade within hours. Avoid rubbing the lips, lying face down and heavy exercise for the rest of the day.
Can I get a lip flip during a short trip?
Yes. It takes only minutes, and the effect develops after a few days. Plan it at least 2 weeks before an event to see the full result.
