Lip flip vs. lip filler… let’s talk about it!
𝐋𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐩:
‣ Procedure: Involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the muscles around the upper lip.
‣ Mechanism: The Botox relaxes these muscles, causing the upper lip to “flip” slightly upward and outward.
‣ Effect: Creates the appearance of a fuller upper lip without adding volume. It gives a subtle enhancement and more of the lip’s natural pink color shows.
‣ Duration: Results typically last about 2-3 months.
‣ Best For: Individuals seeking a slight enhancement or those who want to improve the shape of their upper lip without adding volume.
𝐋𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫:
‣ Procedure: Involves injecting a dermal filler, usually hyaluronic acid-based, directly into the lips.
‣ Mechanism: The filler adds actual volume to the lips, making them fuller and more plump.
‣ Effect: Provides a more noticeable increase in lip size and can also be used to enhance the shape and structure of the lips.
‣ Duration: Results typically last 6-12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolism.
‣ Best For: Individuals looking for significant volume increase and more dramatic enhancement of lip size and shape.
In summary, a lip flip uses Botox to create a subtle enhancement by turning the lip slightly outward, while lip fillers use hyaluronic acid to add volume for a more noticeable plumping effect.
