What are Russian Lip Fillers?

Unlike traditional lip fillers that focus on volume, the Russian lip technique prioritizes shape and elevation. The method involves injecting the filler vertically into the lip to create a flatter, sharp-edged, and more contoured look. The outcome is a sultrier, more defined pout without the “ducky” appearance.

Comparing Russian Lip Technique to Traditional Lip Fillers

The Russian Lip Technique differs from traditional lip filler methods in its approach and results. While traditional techniques focus on adding overall volume, the Russian method emphasizes lip shape and definition. This technique uses vertical injections to lift the lips, enhancing the cupid’s bow and creating a heart-shaped appearance. As a result, clients achieve a naturally contoured look without excessive fullness.
