Lip Flip vs Lip Filler: Which Should You Start With?

Thinking about lip enhancement but not sure where to start? This month, Iriel sits down with patient Molly to break down the real differences between a lip flip and lip filler: what each one actually does, what the appointments feel like, recovery, how long results last, and how to know which one is right for you. Molly shares her honest, two-and-a-half-year journey from her very first Botox appointment to building her fuller, natural-looking lips one syringe at a time. Whether you're nervous about your first appointment or just curious about the process, this episode has the answers. Thanks for watching and be sure to follow for new episodes every month!
