Show HN: Lip Flip Before and After – Real Results and AI Preview

Why are the after pictures modifying attributes that are not part of the cosmetic adjustment? For instance, in the 'after' images skin tones are more "tan" (less pale), eye shadow is more intense, in one scene the woman is smiling vs not. All of these subtle cues make it artificially look like the cosmetic adjustment is "better" - just like all of those junk weight loss, age reversal, and muscle building before/after ads.
I actually see the value in your idea, but it looks like it still needs work to be trustworthy.
Personally, I would only trust it after seeing several 'ground truth comparisons of predicted results compared to the actual photos of people who had the procedure done.

Cosmetic decisions are personal. And when it comes to your face, even small changes can feel like a big step.
Lip Flip AI was created for one simple reason:
to help you visualize subtle enhancements before making any commitment.
Instead of guessing how a lip flip might look based on other people’s photos, you can now preview a realistic simulation on your own face — in seconds.
No injections.
No appointments.
No pressure.
Just clarity.

## What Is a Lip Flip, Really?
A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that uses small amounts of Botox to relax the muscle above the upper lip. When that muscle softens, the upper lip gently rolls outward, creating the appearance of slightly more fullness — especially when smiling.
It does not add volume.
It does not reshape the lips dramatically.
It’s subtle.
That subtlety is exactly why many people are curious about it — and also why it can be difficult to imagine the outcome.
That’s where Lip Flip AI comes in.

## Why We Built This Tool
If you search “lip flip before and after,” you’ll see dozens of photos. But those results belong to different faces, different lip shapes, and different proportions.
What works beautifully for one person might look completely different on another.
We believe you shouldn’t have to rely on guesswork.
Lip Flip AI gives you a personalized visual preview based on your own facial structure. The simulation focuses on a gentle outward curl of the upper lip — preserving your natural shape, symmetry, and proportions.
The goal is not exaggeration.
It’s realism.

## How the AI Preview Works
Our system analyzes key facial landmarks and lip contours from your uploaded image. Then it applies a subtle transformation designed to mimic the aesthetic effect of a lip flip:
- Slight outward curl of the upper lip - Improved upper lip definition - Balanced lip-to-nose proportion - Maintained natural texture and lighting
We intentionally avoid adding artificial volume, gloss, or dramatic reshaping. The result is meant to feel believable — like a refined version of you.
The before-and-after comparison allows you to see the difference clearly while keeping everything else consistent: same lighting, same angle, same expression.

## Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler – Why the Distinction Matters
Many people confuse lip flips with lip fillers, but they create very different effects.
Lip fillers add physical volume to the lips. They can create noticeable fullness and reshape the lip contour.
A lip flip, on the other hand, works by relaxing muscle tension. It creates the appearance of more upper lip without increasing size dramatically.
If fillers are about volume, lip flips are about subtle contour.
Our AI simulation reflects that distinction. It does not attempt to make lips bigger — only slightly more visible and softly defined.

## Who This Tool Is For
Lip Flip AI is ideal if you:
- Feel your upper lip disappears when you smile - Want a slightly fuller look without going bigger - Prefer minimal, natural-looking enhancements - Are exploring cosmetic treatments but want to preview first
It’s also for anyone who simply wants to experiment with aesthetics in a safe, pressure-free way.
Curiosity should not require commitment.

## Built Around Realism and Responsibility
Facial aesthetics fall into a category where trust matters. That’s why we designed this tool with restraint.
The preview you see is a visual simulation only. It does not guarantee medical outcomes and should not replace consultation with a licensed professional.
Our goal is not to persuade you to undergo treatment.
Our goal is to give you a clearer perspective.
Sometimes seeing the possibility is enough.
