When it comes to enhancing your lips, you have two excellent options: Botox lip flips and lip fillers. While both treatments can give you beautiful results, they take completely different approaches. At Mountain Radiance Medical Spa in Asheville, we help you understand exactly how each works so you can make the choice that feels right for you. We’re breaking it down in this new post.
The Botox Lip Flip
A Botox lip flip is a subtle yet effective way to enhance your upper lip’s appearance. Our skilled providers strategically inject small amounts of Botox into the muscle above your upper lip. This gentle relaxation allows your upper lip to naturally “flip” outward, revealing more of your lip tissue and creating the illusion of fuller lips—all without adding any volume.
Is a lip flip right for you?
We often recommend a Botox lip flip for patients who:
- Want to showcase more of their natural upper lip
- Notice their upper lip seems to “hide” when they smile
- Desire subtle enhancement with a softer approach
- Prefer a treatment with a shorter commitment (results last about 2 months)
You’ll start seeing your results within about two weeks, and we love how natural this enhancement looks on our Asheville patients!

Dermal Fillers for Lip Enhancement
Lip fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane are formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body, to add volume, shape, and definition to your lips. Whether you desire subtle enhancement or want more dramatic (yet still natural-looking) results, our experienced injectors can customize your treatment to match your vision.
When lip fillers might be your best fit:
Lip fillers could be ideal if you:
- Want to add actual volume to either or both lips
- Love the idea of enhanced lip shape and contour
- Prefer longer-lasting results (typically 6-12 months)
- Want to smooth those pesky vertical lip lines
- Desire more dramatic enhancement while maintaining a natural look
With lip fillers, you’ll see your results immediately. The duration of results will depend on the product used (up to 12 months for Juvéderm Volbella, and around 12 months for Restylane Kysse).
Combining Injectable Lip Treatments
Can you get both a Botox lip flip and dermal fillers? Yes, and in fact, combining the two is an excellent way to enjoy the benefits of both injectable treatments.
This combination might be a great fit for you if:
- You want both enhanced volume and a lifted upper lip
- Your goal is to prevent upper lip disappearance while adding overall fullness
- ou want to address a gummy smile with Botox while boosting lip volume
- You’re looking to refine lip shape while achieving that coveted plump look
