Lip Augmentation Techniques Available
Lip Lift
A lip lift is a minor surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and upper lip, creating a more youthful appearance. By lifting the upper lip at its base, a lip lift reveals more of the pink lip, enhancing height and curvature. The result is a fuller look without adding volume, ideal for those with a longer upper lip or age-related elongation. Dr. Morris performs lip lifts with meticulous attention to proportion and harmony, ensuring elegant and enduring results.
Lip Flip
The lip flip is a non-surgical technique that uses a small amount of neuromodulator—typically BOTOX® or Dysport®—to relax the muscles around the mouth. This subtle relaxation allows the upper lip to gently roll outward, creating the illusion of a fuller lip without adding volume. It’s a quick, low-downtime option for those seeking a natural-looking enhancement or a more pronounced cupid’s bow. The results develop over a few days and last several months.
Lip Fillers
Lip fillers are injectable gels made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that adds volume, hydration, and shape to the lips. Your provider will carefully select the right filler from trusted brands like JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, or RHA® based on your anatomy and desired outcome. Whether you want subtle refinement or more noticeable plumpness, lip fillers offer flexible, reversible results, ensuring your lips look full, soft, and perfectly balanced.
How Do I Know Which Lip Augmentation Option is Right for Me?
At Southern Coastal Aesthetics, we believe in education and empowerment. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your facial proportions, review your medical history, and discuss your desired outcomes.
From there, you’ll receive a customized recommendation based on what will offer the safest, most natural-looking results for you.

How Long Do Lip Augmentation Results Last?
This depends on the technique used. Lip lifts offer permanent structural enhancement. Lip flips generally last 2-3 months, and lip fillers typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and how much product is injected. Many clients return for touch-ups once or twice a year to maintain their ideal look.
Lip Augmentation FAQs
Is Lip Augmentation Painful?
For lip fillers and lip flips, a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort, and most fillers contain lidocaine for added comfort during the injection process. You may feel a brief pinch or pressure, but the procedure is quick. A lip lift, being a surgical treatment, is done under local anesthesia and is not painful during the procedure. Post-operative soreness or swelling is manageable with ice and over-the-counter medications.
Will My Lips Look Natural After Treatment?
Yes—when performed by an experienced provider, lip augmentation should enhance your lips in a way that looks balanced and authentic to your features. Dr. Morris and your provider prioritize natural artistry, using precise techniques to ensure your results are never overdone. Whether you want a subtle refresh or a dramatic change, the goal is always to refine, not transform.
What is the Downtime After Lip Augmentation?
Lip fillers and lip flips have minimal to no downtime, though you may experience mild swelling or bruising that typically resolves within a few days. A lip lift involves about 7-10 days of recovery, during which you’ll need to rest, avoid strenuous activity, and follow aftercare instructions. Dr. Morris will provide a detailed recovery plan for optimal healing and long-lasting results.
