Russian Lip Fillers
Heart-shaped lift with minimal forward projection
The Russian lip technique builds height from the centre of the lip upward, creating a defined Cupid's bow and heart-shaped silhouette with less forward projection than classic lip augmentation — a natural but elevated result.
Product is deposited in small boluses from the base of the lip to the vermillion border using a vertical injection pattern. This lifts the lip body, accentuates the peaks and creates clear definition without excessive pout.
Key Benefits
- Creates height and Cupid's bow definition
- Minimal duck-lip projection for a natural look
- Adds subtle volume with a sculpted finish
- Results last 6–12 months depending on product used
Is This Treatment Right For You?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Russian technique better than classic lip filler?
Neither is objectively better — the right choice depends on your lip anatomy and aesthetic goal; your injector will advise which suits you.
How much filler is used?
Usually 0.5–1 ml is sufficient; more can be added at a follow-up once initial swelling resolves.
