Your Guide to Lip Enhancements 

Whether you want a subtle change or dramatic volume, lip flips & lip fillers offer different results. Here’s everything you need to know to decide treatment is right for you. 

What Are Lip Fillers? 

Lip fillers are cosmetic injections of hyaluronic acid. They enhance lip shape, volume, and overall appearance. Want noticeable plumping and smoothing? They’re tailored just for your desired results. 

Procedure Details: 

• Consultation: Discuss goals & medical history with your doctor. 

• Numbing: Lips are numbed with a topical cream or lidocaine dental block. 

• Injection: A fine needle injects filler into specific areas. 

• Duration: Typically 30 minutes or less. 

• Recovery: Minor swelling and bruising possible; avoid important events immediately after. 

What Is a Lip Flip? 

A lip flip is a nonsurgical procedure. Botox relaxes muscles above the upper lip. This enhances its shape, creating the look of fuller lips without adding volume. 

Procedure Details: 

• Consultation: Discuss goals and expectations. 

• Preparation: Avoid alcohol & blood-thinning medications. 

• Injection: Botox is injected into the corners of the mouth & cupid’s bow. 

• Duration: About 15 minutes with minimal downtime. 

• Recovery: Results appear in 3-5 days.
