How Fillers Enhance the Lips
A Botox lip flip is another non-surgical treatment that can make your upper lip look fuller. You may be wondering how a lip flip is different from lip fillers and which option is the right choice for you. Here are some of the primary differences between these two popular treatments.
Injection Location
Lip fillers, on the other hand, are injected directly into the lip in strategic locations. Your provider may place fillers in just one or both lips. They may focus on the middle or outer portions of the mouth, depending on the lip shape you want to achieve.
Treatment Time
Lip filler injections typically take a bit longer than a lip flip procedure. However, both treatments are relatively quick compared to many other aesthetic procedures. A lip filler appointment may take up to 30 minutes. A lip flip typically takes no more than 15 minutes to complete.
Outcome
The goal of a lip flip is to make the upper lip look fuller without changing its overall shape. People often choose this treatment to cover up the look of a gummy smile and show more of the teeth.
Longevity
Most lip fillers last up to 12 months. The body gradually metabolizes them over time until they’re no longer noticeable any longer. Maintenance treatments once or twice per year can help patients keep their desired lip shape for the long term.
Cost
The average lip flip cost ranges between $300 and $500 per treatment. Lip fillers tend to cost a little more, with an average price tag of about $800 for the initial treatment. Maintenance treatments tend to cost less. However, when you consider how frequently you’ll need to schedule lip flip maintenance treatments, you’ll likely spend less on lip fillers in the long term.
Aftercare
The aftercare requirements for both lip fillers and lip flip Botox injections are similar. You’ll need to avoid strenuous activity for at least 24 hours after either treatment. You should also avoid rubbing or applying pressure to your lips for a couple of days. Staying hydrated will help your body recover and minimize unwanted symptoms after either treatment. Failure to follow these and any other post-treatment instructions from your provider could increase the risk of side effects.

Where We Inject Your Filler
Hourglass Aesthetic is proud to have an expert team of lip injection specialists on our team. Our expert injectors know the precise areas to inject and how to administer the filler to achieve optimal lip enhancements.
We focus on injecting filler in the following areas of the lips depending on your goals:
Our injectionists use years of knowledge and experience to administer filler in these areas to help achieve total symmetry, i.e., the “golden ratio” of 1 in the upper to 1:618 in the lower–for the perfect textbook lip size and shape.
Cupid’s Bow:
The filler injected here helps to define a more pronounced cupid’s bow.
Outer Edge:
Injections along the “vermillion board” or outer edges help to define and contour the lips.
Corners:
Lip fillers are administered in the corners to help upturn the lips for better definition.
Center:
Injections here add fullness to the center of the lip that tapers to the corners. Injections here also boost lip volume, decrease lines and wrinkles caused by age, and increase hydration for visibly more youthful lips.
What to Expect During Your Lip Enhancement Appointment
First, your lip enhancement specialist will numb your lips before the injection begins. Lip fillers are administered using an ultra-fine needle or cannula, with multiple injections made in and around the lips to achieve the desired enhancements.
The injector may gently massage your lips to ensure even filler distribution. While most people experience a pinprick sensation or slight burn during the injection, most report little to no discomfort. Depending on your treatment and lip goals, the process typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.

A Botox lip flip is a popular treatment that gives your lips a plumper, fuller look. Botox injections are strategically placed around the edges of the lips, corners of the mouth, and the cupid’s bow to help the lips unfurl. On the other hand, lip fillers add volume by injecting Hyaluronic Acid into the lips, making them plumper and more defined.

“Brandy is my favorite esthetician in Lexington! She has always made me feel comfortable, and is such an important friend in my life. Her work is truly stunning and unmatched! I know she will always put her best effort forward into any service I receive, and she will hype me up to making me feel gorgeous walking out of the salon! I couldn’t recommend someone better than Brandy as a lash tech or for any of her other esthetic treatments! She stands out and goes above and beyond for every client! She’s also an amazing waxer!”
– Sabrina B.
“Hourglass was very modern, classy and clean inside. I felt like it was a spa-like experience. My aesthetician explained everything to me and even did a quote for cost before we got started. They let my mom come back with me which made me feel more comfortable. They did not pressure me into buying extra services or do a big sales pitch to me which I thought was refreshing. They gave me a brochure and answered all of my questions. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I will be back. Everything was quick and there was off street parking around back.”
“Absolutely love Hourglass Aesthetics! The moment you walk in you immediately feel welcome. Everyone is so kind and helpful. So happy I found them! Definitely recommend for all treatments! You won’t be disappointed!”
