Common Questions and Concerns About Lip Flips and Lip Fillers Graphic

Addressing the Most Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re considering a lip flip or lip fillers, you may have some questions or concerns about the procedure, results, and aftercare. At Belle Santé Medical Spa, we believe in providing transparency and education so you can feel confident about your treatment. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from clients.

 

    1. Will my lips look too big right away?

  • For lip flips, the results gradually appear over 7-10 days, so there’s no drastic immediate change.
  • For lip fillers, initial swelling may make your lips look fuller than expected, but this will subside within a few days to a week, revealing the final shape.

 

    1. How long do results last?

  • Lip flips last around 6-8 weeks before needing a touch-up.
  • Lip fillers can last 6-12 months, depending on your body’s metabolism and the type of filler used.

 

    1. Does the procedure hurt?

  • Lip flips involve only a few quick Botox injections, with minimal discomfort.
  • Lip fillers involve a numbing agent to make the process more comfortable, though you may feel slight pressure or pinching.

 

    1. How soon can I wear lipstick again?

  • Lip flips: Immediately after treatment.
  • Lip fillers: Wait at least 24 hours to allow the injection sites to heal.

 

    1. What happens if I don’t like my results?

  • Lip flips naturally fade over time, so you can let it wear off if you’re unhappy.
  • Lip fillers can be reversed using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that dissolves the filler.

 

    1. Can I exercise after my treatment?

  • Avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours after treatment to reduce swelling and prevent product migration.

 

    1. Will my lips feel different?

  • Lip flips only affect the appearance of the upper lip, without adding volume.
  • Lip fillers may feel slightly firmer at first but will soften within a few weeks as they integrate into the tissue.

 

    1. How do I know if I should get a lip flip or fillers?

  • A lip flip is ideal if you want a subtle enhancement without added volume.
  • Lip fillers are best for those wanting plumper, more defined lips with customizable volume.
  • Not sure? Belle Santé Medical Spa offers consultations to help determine which option is right for you.

 

    1. Can I combine a lip flip and lip filler?

  • Yes! Many clients opt for both treatments to enhance the shape while adding volume for a more balanced look.

 

    1. How do I maintain my results?

  • Stay hydrated and use a good lip balm.
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and smoking.
  • Schedule regular touch-ups based on your treatment’s longevity.
