Lip Filler vs. Lip Flip: Which Is Right for You?

Full, youthful lips are one of the most popular beauty trends today—but not all lip enhancements are created equal. At North Valley Medspa in Peoria and Flagstaff, AZ, we offer two of the most requested nonsurgical lip treatments: lip filler and the lip flip. While both options enhance your lips, they work in different ways—and each suits a different aesthetic goal.

Whether you're after a subtle smile enhancement or fuller, more defined lips, understanding the difference between a lip flip vs. lip filler will help you make the best decision for your face, your features, and your confidence.

Understanding the Difference: Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler

• Lip Flip (Botox or Dysport): A lip flip uses a small amount of Botox or Dysport injected into the muscle above the upper lip (the orbicularis oris). This causes the muscle to relax, allowing the lip to “flip” slightly upward and outward—creating the illusion of a fuller top lip without adding actual volume.

• Lip Filler (Dermal Fillers like Juvéderm or Restylane): Lip fillers use hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to physically add volume, shape, and definition to both the top and bottom lips. This is the better option if you're looking to truly plump or reshape your lips with longer-lasting results.
