What are Russian lips?
Russian lips are an approach to lip treatments, inspired by the doll-like, heart-shaped lips often seen on traditional Russian matryoshka (stacking) dolls. This technique is designed to create vertical lift, increase Cupid’s bow definition, and sharpen lip borders.
Unlike conventional approaches that primarily focus on adding overall fullness, Russian Lips aim to emphasise height and definition while avoiding excessive forward projection.
Why the Russian lip style is so popular
Russian Lips have may be considered if you have any of the following treatment goals:
- Highlight the Cupid’s bow
- Increase lip height
- Create crisp borders and refined definition
- Add soft volume
The first step is always a consultation to assess suitability.
How the Russian lip technique works
Focus on vertical lift
Traditional lip treatments generally create change by working across the lip body in a horizontal manner. Russian Lips, however, are achieved with a vertical approach that aims to lift the lips upwards.
Emphasis on the Cupid’s bow
By carefully defining and lifting the cupid’s bow, Russian Lips aim to give the lips a heart-shaped outline.
Balanced lower lip
The technique may also be considered to shape the lower lip, by curling it slightly outward and defining the border.
What you should know before choosing Russian lips
Suitability
The Russian Lip technique is typically suitable for people who want to adjust the natural shape and definition of their lips without creating an overdone or artificial look.
If you have had previous treatments, the Russian Lip style may still be an option, but your clinician may recommend first removing any existing result, or waiting for it to wear off.
Suitability is always determined through an in-person consultation.
Longevity
Russian Lips are not permanent, and the longevity of results varies depending on factors such as your natural anatomy, lifestyle, and how your body responds to treatment. Results typically fade over months to years, and maintenance is required if you wish to sustain the outcome.
