Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler: What’s the Difference (and Which Is Right for You)?

Want a fuller-looking pout — but not sure whether to choose a lip flip or lip filler? Here’s a breakdown of both treatments and how to decide what’s best for you.

💉 What Is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip uses a few units of Botox (or Jeuveau) above the upper lip to relax the muscles that cause the lip to curl inward. This creates the illusion of a fuller, more relaxed upper lip.

Lip Flip:

• Results last ~8-12+ weeks

• Ideal for subtle enhancement

• No added volume

• Less than 10 units

💋 What About Lip Filler?

Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler to add volume and structure to the lips. It can also smooth lines around the mouth and balance lip proportions.

Lip Filler:

• Results last ~6–12 months

• Adds volume + definition

• Customizable shape

• May cause more swelling post-treatment

🧠 Which One Should I Choose?

Ask yourself:

• Do I want volume or just a subtle lift?

• Am I new to lip treatments and want to start small?

• Am I okay with more downtime (for filler)?

Still unsure? We’ll walk you through your options during your at-home consult.
