When it comes to lip injections, you’ve probably heard of the term “Russian lips,” but what makes this style of lip filler different from traditional lip filler? The answer lies in the specific technique used by your injector, which leads to refined and voluminous yet natural-looking results.
The Russian lip technique has become increasingly popular among patients desiring that fuller, plumper look without feeling like their lips have ballooned with product. Let’s take a closer look at what this filler technique entails and why it’s become so popular.
What Is the Russian Lip Technique?
The Russian lip filler technique is a type of lip injection specifically designed to give a more natural result by injecting small amounts of filler strategically throughout the lips. Like traditional lip fillers, the Russian lip technique involves injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, like Restylane or Juvederm, into the lips to add volume and definition.
It’s the unique technique that makes the Russian lip different from typical lip filler. With regular lip filler, we inject a moderate to large amount of HA filler into a few main areas of the lip. With the Russian lip technique, we use smaller amounts of HA in a variety of specific spots throughout the lips to create a more subtly voluminous result.
What’s the point of the Russian lip technique? Well, when we use small amounts of filler in many areas of the lip, we’re able to subtly refine and contour areas that would be difficult to delicately reach with the typical lip filler technique. This helps create softness and definition without the appearance of overfilling or “duck lips.” Think of the Russian lip result as the perfect “natural glam” look.
Part of what makes the Russian lip technique ideal for many patients is that it aims for an improvement in vertical lip height, as opposed to an improvement in horizontal volume, and pays special attention to defining the cupid’s bow area. The result is a natural yet volumized look with perfect proportions that draws attention to the center of the lip.
Benefits of Russian Lip Filler
The most significant benefit of the Russian lip filler technique is that it creates a more subtle, naturally-voluminous effect versus traditional lip injection methods. This means you can achieve your desired results without having to worry about an overly dramatic change in your appearance.
Additionally, since less product is used during the Russian lip technique, there’s less risk of potential side effects like lumps or unevenness. Because only small amounts are injected at each session, your lips will heal quickly, and you’ll have minimal recovery time after your procedure is complete.
Is The Russian Lip Filler Technique Right For You?
The best way to determine if the Russian lip technique is appropriate for you is to consult with an injector who specializes in medical aesthetic treatments like injectables and fillers.
