Lip injections, a lip flip and a Russian lip are three different purchases that get talked about as one. Two of them are filler and are priced per syringe; the third is a neurotoxin and is priced per unit or as a flat fee, which is why it costs a fraction of the others. Reading a quote correctly starts with knowing which of the three you are being quoted for.
Lip injections and the per syringe figure
Lip injections, meaning hyaluronic acid filler placed in the lip, are priced per syringe at every clinic in this record that publishes a figure. Skinography publishes $650 per syringe, Chicago Aesthetic Surgery $750 to $900, Chic Med Spa $849 and up, and La Jolla Cosmetic $473 to $850. Bluepoint prices Restylane Kysse, the lip specific product in that family, at $699. The number of syringes is the other half of the quote and it is not on any menu. Ask what the clinic expects for what you have described, and ask what a second syringe costs if it turns out to be needed, because that answer is sometimes discounted and sometimes not.
A lip flip is a different product entirely
A lip flip is a small amount of neurotoxin rather than filler, so it is priced against the clinic's per unit figure or as a flat fee, and it costs an order of magnitude less than a syringe. Skinography publishes a lip flip at $90 as a flat line item, against $650 for a syringe of lip filler on the same menu. That gap is the single most useful thing to know when reading lip quotes. A quote of ninety to a couple of hundred dollars is a neurotoxin treatment. A quote in the hundreds is filler. If a clinic quotes you a low figure for what you asked about as lip filler, establish which product it is before anything else.
Russian lip and other named techniques
A Russian lip is a technique for placing filler rather than a separate product, so it is priced on the same per syringe basis as any other lip filler at most clinics. None of the six clinics in this record publishes a separate Russian lip line, which is the ordinary pattern: the technique is a matter for the injector and the price is the syringe price. Where a clinic does price a named technique separately, ask what the difference is in product and in time, because that is what a price difference would have to be paying for. This site prices treatments and does not advise on technique or on which is right for you, which is a conversation for the clinic and its clinician.
How to price the three
Ask for the price per syringe and the expected number. A syringe price is not a treatment price. One syringe is the usual starting point and clinics differ on what they expect. Ask which product the price covers. Clinics publishing a range are usually pricing a family of products. The opening figure is the cheapest product in it. Ask who injects and whether the price changes. Some clinics price by injector. Ask whether the figure quoted is the one for the person who will treat you. Ask whether the consultation is charged and credited. This is the line most often missing from a published menu, and it is worth more than a few dollars a syringe.
Questions people ask about lip injections
How much are lip injections?
Priced per syringe, and the published figures in this record run from $473 to $900. The treatment price is that figure multiplied by the number of syringes the clinic expects, which for a first treatment is commonly one.
How much is a lip flip?
Skinography in Los Angeles publishes a lip flip at $90. It is a neurotoxin treatment rather than filler, which is why it costs a fraction of a syringe of lip filler on the same menu.
Does Russian lip filler cost more?
None of the clinics in this record publishes a separate line for it. It is a placement technique rather than a different product, so it is normally priced on the same per syringe basis.
How do I tell which one I am being quoted?
By the size of the number and by asking. Roughly a hundred dollars is a neurotoxin lip flip. Several hundred is a syringe of filler. Get the product named in the quote.
