Lip filler adds volume. A lip flip relaxes the muscle at the lip edge. Here is how to tell which one matches your goal.

Two different changes A lip filler and a lip flip are easy to mix up because both change how the lips look. They do different jobs. Filler adds volume. A lip flip does not. Lip filler Dermal filler is placed in the lips to restore or add volume and to shape the border. It is the choice when the goal is fuller lips or a more defined contour. Swelling is common for a few days, and the amount is planned at consultation. Lip flip A lip flip uses a small amount of wrinkle relaxer along the upper lip. It lets a little more of the lip show when you smile. It does not add volume, so it is a poor match if fullness is the goal. How to choose If you want size, start with filler.
