Lip Filler or Lip Flip?
A question we get daily is lip filler or lip flip? So let’s get into these two treatments, which both create beautiful results for different concerns and results!
Lip Filler
Lip fillers are a longer term solution for adding volume and definition to the lips. The procedure involves injecting a hyaluronic acid-based filler into the lips to add volume, and hydration. The dermal filler is injected in micro-droplets to the body of the lip to increase volume creating soft, plump, and fuller lips. Results can last up to two years and top up treatments can also be carried out to maintain the desired look. Lip fillers can also fill in the lines around the lips to smooth the appearance of the skin.
The Benefits
- Immediate and Long-lasting results: Lip filler immediately adds volume and gives instant results. It typically last 6 to 24 months, so the effects are longer-lasting than Lip Flip.
- Customisable: Lip Filler can create a variety of looks, from subtle enhancements to a fuller look.
- Flexible treatment options: The number of injections used can be adjusted to achieve the desired appearance.
Lip Flip
A Lip Flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses small doses of Botox to temporarily relax the muscles around the lips, giving them a fuller, more defined appearance. The procedure specifically targets the orbicularis oris muscles of the upper lip, causing the upper lip to “flip” outward, providing a fuller appearance. It is especially suitable for individuals with a smaller upper lip than a lower lip and is also an effective way to reduce a gummy smile. The treatment takes only a few minutes and results can last up to four months.
The Benefits
- Non-invasive: A lip flip is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting Botox into the lip area. This means there is no downtime and minimal discomfort.
- Cost-effective: It can be more cost effective compared to lip filler and other lip enhancement procedures.
- Natural-looking: Lip Flip is a subtle procedure that can enhance the appearance of the lips without drastically changing their shape.
