Serving Buckhead & Atlanta, GA
Looking for a subtle boost in your face? Feel like your lips are thin or your gums are a bit too visible when you smile? Has aging reduced the volume in your lips? Lip fillers might be a great option if you answered yes to any of these. Lip filler injections include both hyaluronic acid fillers to plump your lips as well as Botox injections with a technique called the lip flip. When considering lip fillers Atlanta patients often turn to Slim Studio for subtle, confidence-boosting enhancements. You can get customized, subtle, beautiful lip enhancement results with lip injections.

Lip fillers are used to enhance and add volume to your lips. The term “lip filler” is sometimes used interchangeably for lip enhancement, but both of these encompass a variety of different products and methods. The overall goal is to make lips appear more voluminous and accentuate the look of your lips.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is often used as a filler to correct wrinkles and fine lines and add volume to the face. It is also FDA-approved as a lip filler.
The HA used in lip filler is a synthetic version of a substance that naturally occurs in the body, which means that HA lip fillers are very safe. At Slim Studio Face & Body, the Juvederm family of HA fillers and Galderma products are our go-to, and we consider them the highest quality.
Lip filler isn’t one-size-fits-all. Here are the different areas we can treat to shape and define your lips just the way you want.
Adding volume to the upper lip helps balance your overall lip shape—especially if it’s naturally thinner or loses fullness with age.
Some people want a little extra plump in the bottom lip for symmetry or softness. Filler here keeps things balanced and flattering.
If the corners of your mouth tend to turn down or look flat, a bit of filler can subtly lift and soften the area, giving a more refreshed look.
This is the natural line that outlines your lips. Enhancing it can give your lips more definition and help lipstick look cleaner and crisper.
That little dip in the center of your upper lip can be gently shaped to look more defined or heart-shaped—it’s a small change that makes a big impact.
Here’s what lip filler can help with—just the things people ask us about the most.
Commonly used for frown lines and other wrinkle treatments, Botox is also an effective way to enhance the appearance of your lips. A technique called the lip flip uses Botox injections near the center of the upper lip and the corners of the mouth to relax the muscles and cause the lip to curl up and “flip,” which allows more lip surface to show. Since it does not add volume, this technique is often combined with lip fillers to accentuate your lips further.
Lip flip, lip filler, which is better? The real answer is both, but it’s all about understanding what they’re used for and which is right for you.
A lip flip uses a tiny bit of muscle-relaxing injection (like Botox) to cue the upper lip to roll out just a bit, making it look fuller. It’s fast, usually takes just a few minutes, and tends to last 6–8 weeks. No added volume, just a little lift.
Here, we inject hyaluronic acid gel to actually plump the lips, adding volume, structure, and shape. It takes a few minutes too and can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler. It’s perfect when you want more noticeable volume or to reshape your lips.
When lip filler pairs with other treatments, the results can look even nicer and more balanced.
Adding a lip flip on top of filler helps make the upper lip tip out just a bit more, giving you shape and lift with the added fullness of filler.
A bit more definition along the jaw or chin can make your lips pop even more—everything just looks refreshed together.
Lifting the cheeks or softening under-eye hollows helps create a smooth, youthful canvas that draws positive attention to your lips.
Lip fillers are a great way to achieve an easy and subtle change that can beautifully enhance your look. Whether your lips have always been a little less full than you prefer or you’ve lost some volume due to aging, lip fillers can sculpt and shape your lips with stunning results.
Most people without major health issues who have the desire to enhance the appearance of their lips are great candidates for lip fillers. Since lip injections are very gentle and rarely result in side effects, they are an excellent option for almost anyone who wants to address issues like:
At the consultation, we’ll chat about what you’re aiming for—whether that’s fuller lips, sharper borders, or subtle lift (or maybe even a lip flip). We’ll run through options, including different HA fillers and the lip flip, and see if they could fit with your goals. Our goal is to help you feel confident about the plan—no pressure, just honest, friendly advice to find what feels right for you.
Getting ready for lip fillers is easy. We might ask you to skip aspirin or blood-thinning supplements for a few days before your appointment—just so you can avoid extra bruising. You’ll also get customized instructions from your provider, like staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol the day before. We’ll make sure you know exactly what to do so your experience goes smoothly.
During the appointment at our practice in Atlanta lip fillers are carefully planned as the skin is prepped and injection sites are marked with a washable marker. Some fillers have lidocaine in the formula, but your provider can also use a topical numbing cream if needed. Typically, lip filler treatments take less than 30 minutes.
Right after your appointment, expect your lips to feel a little swollen and maybe a bit tender. You might see some redness or bruising around the injection spots. This is normal and should resolve in a few days. Icing can help with swelling, and we’ll give you simple tips to keep things calm during the first day or two.
Aftercare is simple: stay hydrated, avoid hot environments for a day or two (like saunas or tough workouts), and don’t rub or massage the area. Touch-ups are usually needed every 6 to 12 months, depending on the filler used and your personal goals. If you love your look and want to keep it, it’s good to check in with your provider every so often to keep things fresh.
You’ll see some change right away, but the final look settles in over the first 3–4 days as swelling calms down. The end result is smooth, soft, and natural. For most of our lip filler patients, results typically lasts between 12 to 18 months—sometimes shorter or longer, depending on the kind of filler and how fast your body metabolizes it.
Every smile is unique, and your results will be tailored to highlight your natural features. Many patients love how subtle enhancements bring balance to their overall appearance without looking “overdone.” With proper care and the right touch, lip fillers can refresh your look and boost confidence in a way that feels authentically you.
The lips are sensitive, so nearly every patient will experience some swelling. The good news is it’s typical and often predictable. Here’s what to expect:
Injection sites may look puffy or irritated, but this usually settles within hours.
Swelling typically peaks during this time before gradually subsiding.
Bruising (if any) fades and lips begin to look more settled and natural.
Lips usually look soft, natural, and fully healed by this stage.

All lip fillers are administered via a very fine needle, so most patients experience a slight pinch but very minimal discomfort overall.
Lip injections are widely used and very safe when given by a trained professional. Side effects may include redness or swelling at the injection site and possible but very rare allergic reactions.
With a trained and responsible professional, lip fillers will not damage your lips.
The FDA recommends waiting until after pregnancy or breastfeeding to get lip fillers since no studies have confirmed safety during this time.
Wait until the numbing agent wears off, usually a few hours. For the first 24 hours, choose soft foods to avoid disturbing the filler.
This depends on the type of filler used. Most people return every 6–12 months to maintain volume and shape.
No. You can start with subtle changes, and fillers can be adjusted or even dissolved if you decide on a different look.
Yes—once the numbing wears off (usually a few hours later), you can lightly apply balm or lipstick. Be gentle the first day to avoid irritation.
No. Once healed, lip fillers should not feel any different. Immediately after treatment, lips may feel slightly firm or tender, but this fades quickly.
