A lip flip costs between $100.00 to $500.00
Lip filler on the other hand costs around $650.00 to $1,000.00 and sometimes more depending on the type of lip filler and amount used and the practitioner's location
A lip flip is a type of procedure that uses neuromodulators, such as Botox, to relax a muscle in your upper lip, causing your lip to "flip" and giving the appearance of a fuller upper lip.
The lip flip procedure is different than getting lip fillers, which are injections directly into the lip, as opposed to above it.
Lip flip results are temporary and last about 8 weeks.
The effect of the lip flip wears off quicker than other areas where Botox is injected because the amount of Botox used is necessarily small and the lip muscles are particularly active.
A Botox Lip Flip can have potential complications.
A Botox Lip Flip going wrong can end in uneven results, excessive muscle relaxation and complications from an inexperienced practitioner.
These are just some of the risks.
Lip flips generally look more natural than lip fillers.
If too much lip flip product is injected, it will result in an over relaxation of your lip.
It can also make your lips hard to close and affect how you talk, smile, drink and kiss!
The effects don't last as long as Dermal Lip Fillers.
The muscles around your lip may relax too much.
The lip flip enhances the existing shape of your upper lip, letting the vermillion border roll outward very slightly.
This result is subtle especially when you are not smiling and may be disappointing if you are hoping for a noticeable change in your lip shape or size.
The lip flip uses a tiny needle, but this is still a needle, so there is mild pain.
Most people getting a lip flip do not feel the need for numbing cream or even ice.
And the injection for the lip flip generally takes less than a minute.
