A lip flip consultation at Core Aesthetics involves an assessment of your upper lip anatomy, facial proportions and goals to determine whether a lip flip, lip filler or a combination approach is most appropriate. The lip flip is an anti-wrinkle technique for subtle upper lip eversion and is assessed as a distinct option from dermal filler.
A lip flip consultation at Core Aesthetics is for clients interested in a subtle improvement to their upper lip using an anti-wrinkle technique rather than dermal filler. The consultation focuses on whether the lip flip is the right tool for your specific goals and lip anatomy, and how it compares to lip filler as an alternative.
All consultations at Core Aesthetics are conducted by Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575, registered since January 1996), the sole treating practitioner at the clinic. You can read more about the consultation process in our article on what happens at an injectables consultation.

What Causes This Concern
The lip flip works by placing a small amount of anti-wrinkle product in the orbicularis oris at the upper lip border, temporarily relaxing the muscle so the upper lip rolls slightly outward. This makes more of the vermilion visible and creates the impression of a fuller upper lip without adding physical volume. Understanding when this is the appropriate approach versus when lip filler would serve the goal better is the central question of a lip flip consultation.
What the Consultation Covers
Corey will assess your upper lip anatomy, the degree of lip visibility you have naturally, your goals and whether the lip flip would produce a meaningful improvement for your specific situation. He will also discuss the practical considerations of the lip flip including its effect on certain lip movements in the days following treatment. Read more on our lip flip treatment page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a lip flip consultation melbourne?
Corey assesses the relevant anatomy, discusses your goals and concerns, explains whether treatment is appropriate for your individual situation, reviews risks and aftercare, and gives you an honest recommendation. There is no obligation to proceed.
How long does the consultation take?
Most anti-wrinkle area consultations take approximately 30 minutes including assessment, discussion and time for questions.
Is a lip flip the same as lip filler?
No. A lip flip uses anti-wrinkle product to reposition the upper lip by relaxing the orbicularis. Lip filler physically adds volume using dermal filler. They produce different results. Your practitioner will help you determine which is appropriate for your goals.
Does a lip flip affect how I speak or eat?
Some clients notice a temporary effect on certain lip movements in the days following a lip flip as the muscle adapts. This is discussed in detail during your consultation so you can make an informed decision about timing.
