A cleaner, more sculpted lip outline

Vertical Lip Height

Let’s ANSWER your lip enhancement questions!
What is the Russian Lip Technique?
The russian lip techniqueis a recognised style of lip enhancement treatment that places emphasis on vertical lift and lip contour rather than outward volume.
It is inspired by the youthful look and heart-like shape of Russian doll lips, with the approach focused on lifting the cupid’s bow while maintaining the natural look of the sides of the lips.
Suitability varies and will be discussed during consultation.
How long does a russian lips treatment take?
Duration varies depending on your personalised plan, but the russian lips treatment typically lasts longer than those of other treatments due to its more meticulous approach.
Your medical professional will outline the process during your appointment.
How long do results last?
Results of the russian lip technique may last somewhere between 6 to 12 months, but it willvary from person to person depending on metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific approach used.
How much does the russian lips procedure cost?
As the treatment and approach is personalised for each client, we are only able to provide pricing for the russian lips technique after your medical professional’s assessment and guidance during the consultation.
Who is a good candidate for the russian lip technique?
The russian lip technique may be considered for individuals who:
- Have longer philtrums, which can help complement overall facial structure
- Are seeking improved lip definition
- Prefer a subtle heart lip shape versus the usual plumped lip look
During consultation, your medical professional should help assess eligibility and answer any other questions you may have.
Is this lip enhancement technique ideal for those after a natural look?
Yes. The russian lip technique aims for subtle refinements and focuses on giving your lips a more contoured and lifted look.
What should I know during recovery from the russian lip technique?
Aftercare for the russian lip technique involves gently applying an ice pack to help reduce swelling. Patients are also advised to not touch their lips, use straws, and apply makeup right after the treatment. Swelling and minimal bruising after the russian lip technique is expected to last from 1-4 days.
Your medical professional will walk you through the aftercare instructions in detail. Our chat support team is also available 24/7 to attend to your other concerns.
What sets the russian lip technique apart from other treatments?
The russian lip technique focuses on precision and contour, with volume added to the center of the lips for increased shape and height. Other lip treatments focus on adding volume to the entire lips for a rounder, fuller look.
Is the russian lip technique okay for first-timers?
First-timers will appreciate the russian lip technique for its gradual lip enhancement approach, retaining most of the lips’ natural look and shape.
