At SkinHealth Centers, our goal is to meet your needs in the most efficient way possible, and we believe that starts with being as informed as possible about your options. Although a lip flip and lip fillers are both procedures that make your lips look fuller, there is a difference between how they are performed.
Lip fillers use a type of dermal filler, commonly Hyaluronic Acid (HA), that is injected into strategic parts of your lips to add volume. Most patients will notice that their lips look immediately fuller after the procedure.
A Lip Flip, on the other hand, uses a neuromodulator (typically BOTOX) that is injected into parts of your upper lip only for a fuller or “poutier” look, without having to add any additional volume to your lips. This technique does require a little more time to see results, with most patients seeing their full results after about a week. Lip flips generally end up looking more natural than lip fillers.
In the end, it’s more of what aesthetic goals you are looking to achieve and what you and your provider decide upon.
