Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler: Which One Should You Choose?
- Posted on: Jan 15 2025
If you want to enhance your lips, you’ve likely come across two popular treatments: lip flips and dermal fillers. While both can give your lips a more defined and voluminous look, they work differently. Understanding the differences can help you determine the best option for your goals.
At Always Beautiful Medspa in Aurora, CO, clients receive expert cosmetic treatments in a welcoming and relaxing medical spa setting. Our skilled team focuses on personalized care, educating clients on their options, and delivering natural-looking results tailored to each individual’s goals.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers involve injecting hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal filler into the lips to plump, improve symmetry, and enhance shape. Popular filler brands include Juvéderm and Restylane, which provide long-lasting plumpness.
Benefits of Lip Fillers:
- Instant, noticeable volume
- Long-lasting results (typically 6-12 months)
- Customizable for a subtle or dramatic look
- Smooth out lip lines and wrinkles
Additional Considerations:
- Potential for swelling and bruising
- Requires maintenance touch-ups
What Is a Lip Flip?
This non-surgical treatment uses a small amount of BOTOX injected around the upper lip to relax the muscles, allowing the lip to “flip” slightly upward, making it appear fuller without adding volume. The results are subtle, look natural, and can enhance your lip shape without changing the overall size.
Benefits of a Lip Flip:
- Minimally invasive with no downtime
- More natural enhancement for a subtle pout
- Can help reduce a gummy smile
Additional Considerations:
- Results last six to eight weeks
- It does not add actual volume
Which One Is Right for You?
- Choose a lip flip if you want a subtle enhancement or a more defined Cupid’s bow. It’s great for those who prefer a natural look and don’t want to commit to fillers.
- Opt for lip fillers if you want fuller, plumper lips with customizable volume and long-lasting results.
