Do you have thin lips and want fuller, more defined, symmetrical lips? For a smoother, fuller lip appearance, you might consider lip injections or a lip flip at Rocky Mountain Laser Center at CSDERM in Colorado Springs.
As we age, lips can lose volume and shape, leading individuals to seek treatments to restore their appearance. Additionally, some may pursue lip injections to correct asymmetry, improve the overall balance of facial features, or enhance lip contour for a more aesthetically pleasing look. For others, the appeal of lip injections lies in their ability to provide a temporary yet effective solution for achieving a desired pout without surgical intervention.

What is a lip injection? What is a lip flip?
A lip injection is any treatment that injects a substance into or around your lips. The most common type of lip injection is filler to add volume. People who want bigger lips usually choose lip injections. They can also help minimize lip lines or make lips more symmetrical.
A lip flip is a specific type of lip injection that focuses on changing the shape of your lips. It consists of injections to relax the facial muscles above your lip. This lets more of your lip flip outwards instead of sitting inside your mouth. Not only does it make your lip look fuller, but it also makes it look rounder.
What are popular brands used for lip injections?
When you’re looking at lip injections, you’ll notice there are many brands to choose from. Ultimately, each brand has its benefits and effects. Here’s what you need to know about the most common brands:
- Juvederm: This lip filler is made from naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. It’s a popular choice for people who want a subtle look.
- Restylane: This filler is also made of hyaluronic acid, but it’s a little thicker than Juvederm, which creates a slightly different texture.
- Sculptra: Sculptra is a biocompatible material called polylactic acid. It’s a very long-lasting filler that also helps to boost collagen.
- Botox: In lip flips, Botox temporarily relaxes muscles around the mouth.

What are the benefits of a lip injection?
Lip injections are one of the simplest and easiest ways to adjust the look of your lips. You can have the fuller lips you’ve dreamed of in just a few minutes. Injections aren’t surgical, and there isn’t a lengthy recovery period. Furthermore, injections are usually reversible. Since the filler is dissolvable, you must not commit to anything permanently.
What are the risks of a lip injection?
The main risk is simply swelling, discoloration, and tenderness at the injection site. Patients who go to poorly trained providers may also be unhappy with the results. Lips that look unnatural, asymmetrical, or lumpy can occur. In very rare cases, lip injections can lead to tissue damage if the filler gets into an artery. However, much like awful-looking results, this usually only happens if the injector doesn’t have the right training.
How long do the effects last?
This will depend on the sorts of injections you have. Some lip fillers last around six months, while others last up to two years. Keep in mind that lip injections are dissolvable. If you dislike the results, you can get a provider to remove the filler even earlier.
