Russian lips refer to a specific lip filler technique focused on vertically lifting and elongating the lips with a natural, elegant heart-shaped appearance. Before the procedure, lips tend to look thinner or less defined. After treatment, lips show a noticeable increase in height with minimal outward projection, avoiding the "ducky" look common in traditional lip fillers. The result is a sophisticated, sculpted lip with a flat side profile and enhanced symmetry, often described as a youthful, natural, and refined aesthetic. This technique uses micro-droplet injections placed vertically rather than horizontally to enhance the lips' shape and volume subtly. The before and after differences in Russian lips usually highlight:
- Increased vertical height of the lips
- Defined heart-shaped contour
- Minimal forward projection to keep a natural profile
- Enhanced symmetry and volume without puffiness or overfilling
- Overall more sculpted, elegant lips
This technique offers longer-lasting results (6 to 12 months) that amplify natural beauty rather than just adding volume outward.
