Lip Flip Vs. Lip Filler

Which one is right for you? First off, let’s start with understanding what a lip flip is. Here at Dream Aesthetics, a traditional lip flip consists of 4-8 units of a neurotoxin such as, Botox, injected into the upper lip. It works by relaxing the muscle in the upper lip causing the upper lip to “flip” giving the illusion of a fuller upper lip. Results of a lip flip are typically most noticeable when smiling and is best for a client who has a “gummy” smile or whose lip curls in when smiling. Results typically last up to 3 months. In a lip filler treatment, a hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the lips as opposed to above it. This treatment adds volume to the lips with filler and is best for those who want overall projection and volume of the lips with results lasting up to 12 months.
