Russian Lips

This specific technique will shape the lips into a subtle heart shape with more volume near the center, much like a Russian doll. It tends to lift the lip rather than add excessive volume so it’s ideal for lip filler newbies/virgin lips, or those seeking a natural finish. How ever if you have filler you can disolve and refresh with Russian lips. You will also notice a ‘flatter’ appearance as height is the goal, rather than plumpness. (Although both can be achieved if that is what you desire!) The technique demands an artist’s touch so it’s even more important to find a trustworthy injector, I myself trained with a Russian Doctor at the leading training academy Cosmetic Couture Unlike traditional lip filler, an injector using the Russian Lip technique injects the product vertically starting at the base of the lip and drawing the product outward toward the lip border. Rather than starting from the lip border and working inward, the injector works the product from the inside out.
