Is a lip flip the same as lip filler? Not exactly.

A lip flip does not add volume like filler. It relaxes the muscle around the upper lip so a little more of your natural lip shows when you smile.

If you want a subtle change and you are not ready for filler, a lip flip is often a great first step.

A consultation confirms which option fits your anatomy and your goals.
