Lip Enhancements

Lips lose volume over time, becoming thinner and less defined. Whether due to aging or genetics, this can impact the balance and proportion of your facial features, making you feel less confident in your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a lip flip and lip fillers?

  • A lip flip uses Botox Cosmetic®, Nuceiva, or Dysport® to relax the upper lip muscles, causing the lip to subtly roll outward, making it appear fuller without adding volume.
  • Lip fillers use hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers (like Juvederm or Restylane) to add actual volume, shape, and definition to the lips.

How do I know if I need a lip flip or lip fillers?

A lip flip is best for those who want a subtle enhancement, especially if their upper lip disappears when they smile.
Lip fillers are ideal for those who want plumper, more defined lips with added volume. Some patients choose to combine both treatments for enhanced results.

How long do the results last?

  • Lip flip: Lasts about 6 to 8 weeks.
  • Lip fillers: Last 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolism.

Is the procedure painful?

  • A lip flip involves a few quick Botox/Dysport injections with minimal discomfort.
  • Lip fillers may cause mild discomfort, but a numbing cream or local anesthetic is used to minimize pain.

How soon will I see results?

  • Lip flip: Takes about 3 to 5 days to start working, with full results in about 2 weeks.
  • Lip fillers: Results are immediate, but mild swelling may occur for a few days before the final shape settles.

Are there any side effects?

  • Lip flip: Temporary slight weakness in the upper lip, affecting how you sip from a straw or pronounce certain words.
  • Lip fillers: Temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, which typically subside within a few days.

Can I combine a lip flip with lip fillers?

Yes! A combination of both treatments can enhance the shape, add volume, and create a fuller but natural-looking pout.

How much downtime is needed?

  • Lip flip: No downtime—you can resume normal activities immediately.
  • Lip fillers: Minimal downtime—some swelling and bruising may last a few days, but most patients return to normal activities right away.

What should I avoid after my lip enhancement?

For 24 hours, avoid:

  • Strenuous exercise
  • Alcohol and blood thinners (to reduce bruising)
  • Touching or massaging your lips
  • Excessive heat exposure (saunas, hot showers)
