Lip Flip or Lip Filler: Which Option Is Right for you?

At Tighten It Spa, we understand that everyone’s lip goals are different. Whether you're looking for a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, two popular treatments can give you the look you desire: Lip Flip and Lip Filler.


What is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip uses neurotoxins to relax the muscles around your upper lip, allowing it to flip slightly upward. This creates the illusion of fuller lips without adding volume. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, with results lasting around  2-3 months. It's a great option for those seeking a more natural, subtle enhancement. After a lip flip you will notice an enhanced lip shape, particularly for the upper lip, without dramatically altering your appearance (see our lip flip before and after below).



What is Lip Filler?

Lip filler is an injectable made from hyaluronic acid that adds actual volume to the lips. This treatment can be tailored to enhance lip shape, add definition, or create a more plump appearance. Lip fillers provide a longer-lasting result, typically 6-12 months, and offer more noticeable enhancement. Take a look at our lip filler before and after results showing how this treatment can give you fuller, more defined lips in one session. Everyone is different and has different lip goals, so results will vary based on the look you want to achieve.



Differences Between Lip Flip and Lip Filler

  • Process: A lip flip uses neurotoxins to relax the upper lip, while lip fillers use injectable gel to add volume.

  • Lip Enhancement Results: If you’re aiming for a more natural look or just want to enhance the lip border without adding volume, a lip flip may be the right choice. For those looking to add noticeable volume, lip fillers are a better option.

  • Downtime: Lip flips are quick treatments with minimal downtime. Fillers, while also fast, may require a little more post-treatment downtime. 

  • Longevity: Lip flips last about 2-3 months, whereas lip fillers last 6-12 months.

  • Cost: Lip flips are typically more budget-friendly, but require more frequent maintenance. Lip fillers cost more, but offer longer-lasting results and more volume.
