What is Russian Lip Technique?
Also known as: Russian Lips, Russian Doll Lips
The Russian lip technique is a filler method that injects small amounts vertically from the lip line to lift and heighten the lips, creating a fuller, more defined, heart-shaped look.
The Russian lip technique is a specialized way of placing hyaluronic acid lip filler. Instead of injecting along the lip border, the provider works with small amounts placed vertically from the inner lip outward, gently lifting and flattening the lip upward toward the center. This creates more height and a softly defined, doll-like or heart-shaped appearance rather than projecting the lips forward.
Because the approach is detailed and built up gradually, it suits people who want fuller, lifted lips with a refined shape and a crisp border. As with all lip filler, results are immediate and last several months. A consultation helps decide whether this technique fits the look you are after.
