Lip enhancement is often oversimplified — and that’s how clients end up disappointed.

Lip filler and the lip flip are fundamentally different treatments that serve different goals. Understanding the distinction prevents overfilling and unrealistic expectations.

Lip Filler: Volume, Shape & Structure

Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid–based dermal fillers to physically add:

  • Volume

  • Shape

  • Definition

  • Hydration

Lip filler is customizable and ideal for:

  • Naturally thin lips

  • Age-related volume loss

  • Asymmetry

  • Structural enhancement

Lip Flip: Subtle Shape Without Volume

A lip flip uses a small amount of Botox to relax the upper lip muscle so it gently rolls outward.

A lip flip:

  • Does not add volume

  • Does not significantly change lip size

  • Is best for a gummy smile or inward-curling upper lip

Which Is Right for You?

Choose lip filler if you want:

  • Fuller lips

  • Shape correction

  • Structural change

Choose a lip flip if you want:

  • Very subtle enhancement

  • Upper-lip relaxation

  • No added volume

Many clients benefit from a strategic combination — when appropriate.
