Lip Filler vs. Lip Flip: What’s the Difference?

1ml of Lip Filler, The Cherry Bow Technique

At Cherry Bomb Beauty, we’re all about helping you achieve the lips of your dreams, whether that’s a subtle enhancement or a bold, bombshell pout. But when it comes to options, the world of aesthetics can feel a little overwhelming. Two of the most popular treatments for lips are lip fillers and lip flips. Let’s break down the differences so you can make an informed decision about what’s best for you.

What Is Lip Filler?

Lip filler involves using a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler to add volume, shape, and definition to your lips. It’s perfect for those who want to:

- Add noticeable volume to thin lips

- Define the lip border (hello, Cupid’s bow!)

- Correct asymmetry

- Achieve a more hydrated, youthful appearance

With lip filler, the results are fully customizable. At Cherry Bomb Beauty, we specialise in The Cherry Bow Technique, designed to enhance your natural features while keeping your lips looking soft and balanced. Lip fillers last anywhere from 6-12 months, depending on the product used and your body’s metabolism.

It’s a quick treatment with instant results—you’ll see a difference right away! Plus, with our expert aftercare, you’ll feel confident every step of the way.

What Is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip, on the other hand, is a treatment using anti-wrinkle injections (Botulinum Toxin) to relax the muscles around your upper lip. This causes the lip to gently "flip" outward, making it appear fuller without adding volume. It’s ideal if you:

- Want a subtle enhancement

- Have a disappearing upper lip when you smile

- Require less downtime i.e. bruising, swelling

The treatment takes just a few minutes, and results usually appear within 3-7 days. Unlike filler, a lip flip doesn’t add volume but instead creates the illusion of a fuller upper lip. The effects last about 6-8 weeks, making it a great option for first-timers or those wanting a quick, subtle tweak.

Which Is Right for You?

The choice between a lip filler and a lip flip depends on your goals:

- Go for filler if you want to add volume, sculpt your lips, or address asymmetry.

- Go for a flip if you’re after a subtle enhancement or want to test the waters before committing to filler.

Some clients even combine the two for a bespoke result that’s truly unique to their face.
