Russian Lips

‘Russian lip’ approach to lip fillers have become super popular in recent years. Born out of the lip shape of beautiful Russian supermodels, the Russian lip technique focuses on creating a beautiful, subtle ‘heart-shaped’ pout.

The Russian Lip technique shapes the lips into a heart shape with more volume near the centre of the lips. Unlike traditional lip fillers, this technique is meant to lift the lip rather than add volume, making them look more natural, ‘flat’ and even. It is an ideal technique for any newbies who consider getting lip fillers. The technique also makes your lips appear flatter rather than the plump-look normal lip filler techniques produce.

The Russian Lip Filler technique is performed by administering premium quality filler in tiny droplets vertically at the base of the lip drawing the product outwards. This technique is designed to widen, lift and open the lip body without any compromise of projection, or so called “duck-pout”. The procedure might take longer than your traditional lip filler because it requires an artistic touch and multiple injections, but it certainly would be worth it.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is used to enhance the shape and volume of the lips addressing concerns such as thinness, unevenness or a loss of volume. With the newest techniques available at Injector Maya’s clinic you can even redefine your lips’ contour, creating a “cupid’s bow” the way you desire. As expected, there is considerable artistry to lip augmentation.

BEFORE & AFTER

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the Russian Lip Filler technique painful?

Lip augmentation is mildly painful. The dermal fillers used at Injector Maya’s clinic contain lidocaine (numbing agent). Moreover, Injector Maya will apply a topical numbing cream prior to the treatment and provide you with a special custom-made vibratory pain relief device.

Who can get Russian Lips?

Russian lips technique is most suitable for clients who hasn’t had any lip fillers done before. If however, you have had a lip filler done more than 6 months ago then Injector Maya might agree to perform the treatment. However, if there is a visible migration or incorrectly performed treatment by another practitioner, Injector Maya might advise you to dissolve the filler first and wait for a specific period of time before your lip appointment.

How will I know which lip filler technique is best for me?

Well, that’s where Injector Maya comes in. Prior to any treatment, remember to book a free consultation to determine the best course of treatment. Ideally, if you have never had lip fillers done before, we would highly recommend the Russian Lip Filler. With the Russian lips technique, you will get a subtle and natural look, rather than the all famous “duck-pout”.

Does the Russian Technique cause more bruising or swelling?

The Russian technique consists of multiple injections with smaller deposits, so the bruising might be more noticeable, however these subsidies within few days. Injector Maya will provide you with post-treatment creams to reduce bruising and swelling and speed up the healing process of the treated area.

How long does the Russian Lip technique take?

Creating the Russian lip requires double the amount of time that the standard lip filler technique takes. Depositing tiny droplets of product between the lip tissue takes time, resulting in a smooth uniform finish, with that lip lift effect. The practitioner needs to be very articulate regarding the placement of filler. Patience and calmness are definitely required to promote tissue separation for a seamless result. As such the application itself will take anywhere from 30-45 minutes.

How long do Russian Lips last?

The Russian Lip Filler lasts the same amount of time as the traditional lip filler, which is 6-8 months. It is not the product that’s different, it’s the technique used.
