What does it all mean and what’s best for you?
There are oh so many things you can do to your lips these days. And we don’t just mean overlining them with lip liner. With so many different techniques, it can be somewhat confusing, so I, Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at smith & co., am here to break it all down and let you know what you can expect from each, to help you in your lip journey.
What is a Lip Flip?
So your friend got a lip flip. And she swears you need one, too. But what is that, exactly? A lip flip lasts six to eight weeks and will give you a very subtle turn up to the top lip. It won’t enhance the shape, asymmetry or volume. It will also only give as much as the muscle has to give. If your lip turn up is strong when you smile, you’ll see more of a result. If your lip stays turned out when you smile, you won’t get as much out of it.
What is a Lip Lift?
Basically, a lip lift is a big step. The biggest of the ones we will talk about today. A lift lift is a surgical procedure. The procedure shortens the distance between the bottom of the nose and the top of the lip. It makes lips look fuller, more pronounced and exposes more of the inner lip and upper teeth. If you suffer from downturned lip corners, it can help reverse that. It also smooths out the texture of lips caused by aging.
What is Lip Filler?
Lip filler is an injectable that can shape, balance, restore volume or add volume to lips. It’s one of my favorite ways to transform lips. I use products like Restylane Kysse to create a new lip for you. A half syringe lasts six to eight months. A full syringe lasts 10 to 12 months.
With lip filler, I can also do a lip lift technique (part of the Ashton technique where I can create as much height as possible to the Cupid’s bow to shorten the distance between the Cupid’s bow and the base of the nose to give the appearance of a lip lift.
A lip flip is $260. Lip filler is $500 for half a syringe and $800 for a full syringe.
