Lip treatments are more popular than ever — but many people are confused about the difference between a lip flip and lip filler. While both enhance the lips, they work very differently and are used for different goals.
What Is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip uses a small amount of neuromodulator (Botox or Dysport) injected into the muscles around the lip. This relaxes the muscle, allowing the lip to gently roll outward.
Best for:
- Enhancing the upper lip shape
- Subtle enhancement without adding volume
- First-time lip treatment clients
What to expect:
- No added fullness
- Results appear in 5–10 days
- Lasts about 6 weeks
What Is Lip Filler?
Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid to add volume, structure, and hydration directly to the lips.
Best for:
- Increasing lip volume and symmetry
- Improving lip hydration
- Enhancing shape and definition
- Restoring lost fullness
What to expect:
- Immediate volume
- Results can last 6–12 months
- Customizable to your goals
