Russian Lips
What Are Russian Lips?
Russian Lips is a specialized lip filler technique that has gained popularity for creating heart-shaped, lifted, and well-defined lips without excessive volume. Inspired by the aesthetic trends in Russian beauty, the goal is not to make the lips larger, but to enhance their height and structure, especially at the center. Unlike traditional filler methods, Russian Lips focus on vertical injections that build up height rather than outward projection.
How Is the Russian Lips Technique Performed?
This method involves injecting hyaluronic acid-based filler vertically into the lip tissue using micro-droplets. The filler is placed upward from the inside of the lip, creating a lifting effect. Fine needles or specialized cannulas are used, and the product is concentrated in the central area to avoid spreading toward the outer lip borders.
Key Features of the Technique
- Filler is applied vertically, not horizontally.
- Emphasizes the Cupid’s bow and lip height.
- Creates a defined, elegant shape without exaggeration.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
This technique is ideal for individuals seeking lifted, feminine, and natural-looking lips. It is also suitable for correcting asymmetry or for those who want a structured shape without the risk of the “duck lip” appearance often associated with traditional fillers.
Advantages of Russian Lips
Russian Lips enhance the natural shape of the lips with precision and control. Since the filler is kept within the lip borders, the results appear more harmonious with facial features. Additionally, there’s minimal swelling or bruising compared to some other filler methods.
Impact on Aesthetic Quality of Life
Well-shaped, balanced lips soften facial expressions and boost self-confidence. Russian Lips provide a more refined, delicate lip appearance while preserving individuality and natural beauty. 💋
How Long Does the Procedure Take and How Long Do Results Last?
The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes. Mild swelling and redness may occur but usually subside within a few days. Results can last between 6 to 12 months, depending on individual metabolism and the type of filler used.
Pre- and Post-Treatment Considerations
- Avoid blood-thinning medications before the procedure.
- After treatment, avoid excessive facial movements, hot environments, and makeup for at least 24 hours.
- Drink plenty of water and apply cold compresses as needed.
