What are lip fillers?

Lip fillers, such as Restylane️ and Juvederm️, work to smooth wrinkles and fine lines while adding volume to the face. Both types of fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the body. When these fillers are injected into the lips, they add definition and volume while creating poutier, softer lips.

So then, what's the lip flip?

The lip flip is a relatively new aesthetic treatment that uses Botox️ or Dysport️. Unlike fillers, Botox️ and Dysport️ are neuromodulators that relax muscles of the target area. In the case of a lip flip, these neuromodulators work to relax the muscles on the upper lip (near the cupid's bow and corners of the mouth), which then cause the upper lip to "flip" slightly upward. This effect gives the illusion of a fuller lip without changing the size.

We do want to emphasize that this treatment is not FDA approved and must be performed by an experienced aesthetic provider that you trust.

Why should I get the lip flip instead of lip fillers?

Lip flips are most ideal for the following reasons/candidates:

Treat "gummy" smiles - lip flips have been shown to reduce the appearance of the gums when you smile

Perfect for experimentation - lip flips are a great way to introduce you to lip enhancements and aesthetic treatments

Temporary results - unlike lip fillers, lip flips give temporary results that only last 3-4 months

More subtlety - lip flips do not add any volume, so the size of your lips will not change

Why should I get lip fillers instead of a lip flip?

Lip fillers are most ideal for the following reasons/candidates:

Not so subtle - lip fillers are better suited for less subtle results since they can add volume and change the size of your lips. We would like to remind you that lip fillers can still look very natural!

Longer results - lip fillers typically last longer than lip flips, especially if you consider using Restylane️ Kysse�️ which can last up to one year.
