Lip Flip and Lip Filler: Which is best for your individual goals and why

Whether you desire a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic plump, Aesthetic Med Studio offers both Lip Flip and Lip Filler treatments to help you achieve your perfect pout.

But which treatment is right for you? In this blog, we’ll break down the differences between a Lip Flip using Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, and Xeomin versus Lip Fillers using hyaluronic acid-based products, helping you determine which option best suits your aesthetic goals.

What is a Lip Flip?

A Lip Flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses small amounts of Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, or Xeomin to relax the muscles around the upper lip. This allows the lip to roll slightly outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined upper lip without adding volume.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Lip Flip?

A Lip Flip may be the ideal treatment for you if: 

• You have a naturally thin upper lip that disappears when you smile. 
• You want a subtle enhancement rather than dramatic volume. 
• You are looking for a more affordable alternative to lip filler. 
• You experience a gummy smile and would like to reduce the amount of gum that shows when you smile. 
• You prefer a short term option to test out lip enhancement before committing to fillers.

Lip Flip Cost & Considerations 

• Price Range: $50 - $105 per session (varies by location, provider expertise and amount of units). 
• Results typically last about 6-8 weeks and require regular maintenance. 
• Does not add volume—only enhances the natural shape of the upper lip. 
• May take 5-10 days to see full effects. 
• Minor discomfort, with no downtime required.

What are Lip Fillers?

Lip Fillers involve the use of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Revance RHA or Restylane to add volume, shape, and structure to the lips. This treatment provides immediate results and can be tailored to create anything from a natural enhancement to a more dramatic pout. When doing research on "How much do lip fillers cost" it is important to keep in mind that each brand/product has a different price associated with it. Juvederm has about 4 or 5 different options that vary quite a bit in pricing. We will always go through all options of "good, better, best" when it comes to your individual result goals.

Who is a Good Candidate for Lip Fillers?

You may be a great candidate for Lip Fillers if: 

• You desire a plumper, more full look for your lips. 
• You have asymmetrical lips and want to achieve better balance. 
• You want to correct fine lines around the mouth (smoker’s lines). 
• You have experienced volume loss due to aging and want a more youthful appearance. 
• You prefer a longer-lasting lip enhancement compared to a Lip Flip.

Lip Filler Cost & Considerations 

• Price Range: $500 - $900 per syringe (most patients require 1 syringe, but results vary). 
• Results last between 8-12 months, depending on metabolism and filler type. 
• Minimal downtime, though swelling and bruising may occur for a few days. 
• Can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results.
  

Who is a Good Candidate for Both a Lip Flip & Lip Fillers?

Some patients benefit from combining both treatments to achieve the best results. A Lip Flip can enhance the shape and height of the upper lip, while fillers add volume and structure. You may be a candidate for both if: 

• You want to maximize fullness and definition while keeping a natural appearance. 
• You have thin lips that need both projection and height enhancement. 
• You desire a well-balanced pout without overfilling your lips.
