Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler

Lip augmentation has become one of the most sought after aesthetic treatments in our industry. But did you know there's more than one treatment option when it comes to the lips? Let's break down the basics of the most popular procedures, the lip flip vs. lip filler.

Lip Flip

- treatment of the orbicularis oris muscle (circular muscle around the mouth) with Botox Cosmetic

- $100 for a lip flip at The Facebar

- results can last 2-3 months before needing to be retreated

- can achieve a subtle enhancement in lip volume, reduce vertical lip lines and improve a gummy smile

- does not requiring numbing prior to treatment

- while there is always a risk of bleeding, bruising and swelling with any injections, this is not typical of the lip flip

Lip Filler

- injections into the body of the lip with hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler

- cost per syringe ranges from $450 - $699 and several HA filler options are available

- results on average last 6 months to 1 year

- can achieve more enhancement in volume, shape and structure in comparison to a lip flip

- topical numbing is performed prior to injections

- swelling, brushing and bleeding risks ar higher for this procedure with swelling typically being at it's worst day 1-2
